So did I! That was a pretty tough one to begin with. They got it from some or other "Cartoon history" -- it surely wasn't in Britannica or the other encyclopedias I consulted!

I thought that the question would have something to do with civ the game...

I also got the question wrong... guess I should have taken world history instead of American!

[Imran Siddiqui]

WooHoo! Got the second question right... Only 30 points though .

Oh well, at least 30, rather than none.

BRING IT ON JEFF. LEAVE YOUR PLATEMAIL ON.

I got the 2nd question right, but never saw the first question. What was it?

[Alex 14]

The 2nd question was simple, they said that you can answer questions that you have mised, but how?

They asked what Mesopotamian warrior-king Gilgamesh’s divine claim-to-fame was.
The answer is that two of his three parents were gods.

(I post the answer as Dan has said there is no way to answer an old question)

Dammit, I was wrong again Not having too much luck here, and I haven't cheated (well if I had, I would have got the answers right would I?)

I've been reading about the ancient history in School recently, and this makes the first two questions sound easy. They must be hard if you don't have read about it recently. I mean it ain’t actually things you remember very long. Good luck with Tomorrows Question. I hope you have more luck then .

Is it possible to cheat? I hope not.

I was wrong on the first one.

I didn't use any help (encyclopedia or anything). I just used common sense. And it failed.

It was about a mesopotamian guy and how he got involved with the gods or got his name parrarelled with the gods or something like that.

I replied he defeated them (I mean that just sounded right).
But he apparently, as Gramphos said, 2 out of his 3 parents were gods. Peculiar family.

edit: great I got the 2nd one wrong too

[kittenOFchaos]

to those who got the first question right...

1. you know nothing of the birds and the bees.
2. where is your credulity.
3. you are guilble to believe in the divine.


I got it wrong on purpose (my brother got it right...if the answer can be considered correct)...

[Gramphos]

Mythology isn’t always as you think it will be. Trust the legends
