THE
LOADED QUESTION-er
Usually I try to find some sort of link-up
theme for the quiz. You know the drill ... "This
is the month of March and this issue's brainteaser
concerns the Bakersfield race ... blah, blah,
blah." This time nuthin' like that. Five
questions without much in common with each other.
LAST MONTH'S ANSWERS
The March quiz was a pretty tough nut to crack.
Nobody got all the answers correct and, in fact,
most people had them all wrong, with a dizzying
combination of answers. The earliest entry with
the fewest incorrect picks belonged to Jim
Moe, who is declared the winner. Read and
learn.
