MLCAML Trivia Answers

Well, I have to say that the Trivia Contest stirred quite a reaction, and a lot of unwanted hostility!!
I seriously considered not ever revealing the answers, but that just would not be fair to the decent folk.  So below you will find not only the answers, but the proof of each answer as I am sure the skeptics would be raging in the absence of such proof! 

The Pride Rock ordered stewards inquiry did reveal one small itsy bitsy error on the quiz master's part, HOWEVER, this did not affect the outcome as no one correctly answered all of the questions as required to claim the surprise prize!!

But, even though no one correctly answered all 10 questions.....we do have a WINNER.  The Lodge scored 9/10, however have been rewarded 1 bonus point for declaring the Quizmaster to be Awesome!!!  Congrats Lodgers, well done!  Be on the lookout for your Surprise Prize!!

1.  Answer, b) Mutton Lake has a surface area of 45 hectares. 
Proof:  I am a professional measurer, it is what I do and I am almost always sometimes right about these things!

2. Answer b) The first MLL Horshoe tournament was contested in 1981.
I actually though it was 1980 and graded all of the answers that way........no matter, just add 1 to your loser score if you answered 1981.
Proof: Ask Ron, or visit the Lodge and have a gander at the trophy.

3.  Answer c) There 6 cottages in the Mutton Lake Cotage Association of Mutton Lake which make up the 6 member Cottages of the Mutton Lake Cottage Association of Mutton Lake.
Proof:  See map above, which shows all of the member cottages of the Mutton Lake Cottage Association of Mutton Lake, and count them.  (note, this will require both hands!)

4. Answer a) As the boat floats, it is 640 metres from the Lakehard Dock to the Lodge dock.
Proof:  See photo below.

5. Answer a) As the boat floats, it is 640 metres from the Lakehard Dock to the Point dock.
Proof: See photo below.


6. Actually that question contained an error, as Brier never pees in the lake......I on the other hand do it all the time!!  So the question is still valid re the science of it all..........Answer is indeed d) Elgin dives into my pee all of the time, and so do the rest of you!!!!!!!!  (sucks to be downstream!)
Proof:  You really don't want to know!

7. Answer, c) The 2 flags that fly at Pride Rock have a total of 2 different colours.
Proof:  Pride Rock proudly flies the Canadian Flag and the Flag of Mother Egland!


8. Answer, d) Sam is a Jack Ass for all the reasons listed in the question plus so many more!
Proof:  Knowing Sam.

9. Answer a) or b) The Moutton Lake super duo, the Lava Lamps only have 1 talented member.
Proof:  Ask anyone who has heard them play.

10. Answer a)  At the time of posting there was 37 more sleeps iuntil the next long weekend!!
Proof:  The Julian Calendar and my ability to use a calculator.
