  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,286 ✭✭✭tfitzgerald


    sorry about that i did'nt know i had to take a turn i wont post any more questions on this thread i just dont think i would get on with people who take life so serious

    All you have to do is answer the previously asked question correctly and then you can ask the next question. Simple enough really.....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,635 ✭✭✭KatCookie


    ill go for 95 feet .. or metres.. i cant tell the difference..

    95 feet?

    Rules are good, isn't that what Monica tells us?

    I think the 40 must refer to the number of attempts it took to get the formula right.....any help with the WD.

    And I'd say 25ft - 30ft for the slinky. Do I need to be more accurate than that. Do I get a bonus pint for knowing it is around since the 1940's and was 'invented' by accident.

    Go go lucky 7....................

    I know what wd stands for ;)

    can't remember if a slinky is good for top band or not so I'll just say a round 100ft


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9 boc

    Share the knowledge.............

    I think we also need to put a time limit on questions being answered, 9 days, I haven't slept waiting for this question to be answered.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,635 ✭✭✭KatCookie


    Does the FULL length of the slinky not depend on how long the slinky is?

    is that the answer?


    MB74, your right, PM the person who posted the question and tell them to Pass the question or tell us the answer, then you can ask next!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 781 ✭✭✭Skellington


    Mr. Fozzie is correct with 80 feet.


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 94,804 Mod ✭✭✭✭Capt'n Midnight


    Water Displacement :p - and no it's not meant to be a lubricant, though should be good on bicycle chains since they don't really benefit from lubricants

    * waits for Fozzie's question *


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,178 ✭✭✭Fozzie Bear


    Mr. Fozzie is correct with 80 feet.

    Woohoo!

    Right, following German re unification the former east and west german teams joined to become the modern day unified German football team we know.

    But can anyone name the first former east Germany player to score a goal for the unified Germany team?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,958 ✭✭✭✭RuggieBear


    sammer? being the only E German i know who played for Germany


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,688 ✭✭✭kerash


    I think Sammer was the last player to score for E Germany before unification. If he didnt have the honor of the first, I'll guess Kirsten for the first to score for Unified Germany...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,178 ✭✭✭Fozzie Bear


    No and No i'm afraid.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 390 ✭✭MB74


    Ulf Kirsten are you sure?

    Is this a trick question, maybe a ladies team?

    Or was it Thom?
