Nah, not a groundbreaking discovery of bending toothbrush head caught my attention

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Sat May 24, 2014 5:52 am

What about all the others?

VEB152 · Post by **VEB152** » Sun May 25, 2014 12:17 pm

...Oh well, I guess there is no much point in guessing... After all, you would get to one.
I intended to refer to that one

Your turn, Hlaoroo, and congrats XD

...Think we'd better limit that list-making, though. What do you think?

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Tue May 27, 2014 6:29 am

Thank you, Veb.

Probably a good idea, yes. Maximum of two guesses per post?

This shouldn't be to difficult. What happened today, May 27th, relating to this... er... fellow?

Post by **Render** » Tue May 27, 2014 12:49 pm

On May 27th in 1933 Disney released the animated film Three Little Pigs showing The Wolf as villain who was honored by the song Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?

Because it's funny:
...35 translations later, Bing gives us:
"5/27/3, 5/27 the fear of wolves in 1933, mniejesze, there is no Monster music and Disney villains."

Like I said, not too difficult!
Well done, Render!

Post by **Render** » Wed May 28, 2014 11:21 am

Seems that I need to rise the level of difficulty a little... But maybe, if you find the right spot to look at... nya, we'll see.

Here's the picture and I like to know, what has happend some years ago on May 28th.

FDR appears on the cover of Time magazine on May 28, 1923 and opened the Golden Gate bridge on May 28, 1937!

Post by **Render** » Thu May 29, 2014 8:52 am

That's right Furr, Franklin D. Roosevelt opened the Golden Gate Bridge 1937.

Your turn again.

Aren't there any others who would like to contribute in this game?

What happened on this the twenty ninth day of the fifth month which relates in some way to the following image?

Post by **Render** » Sun Jun 01, 2014 6:13 am

It's too sad that nobody else tried...

I just decieded to give it a try and Google told me the following when searching for "the eagle drug and chemical":

May 19, 2011 - The prototype Coca-Cola recipe was formulated in 1886 at the Eagle Drug and Chemical Company, a drugstore in Columbus, Georgia

I thought that's a too firm lead to give up on it, just because it's on the wrong date - maybe it's the first sale date of he foundation of the company. So I searched up the Wikipedia article on Coca Cola and voilà, I found this:

Pemberton ran the first advertisement for the beverage on May 29 of the same year [1886] in the Atlanta Journal.

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Sun Jun 01, 2014 6:48 am

Bang on, again, Render!

Post by **Render** » Sun Jun 01, 2014 1:23 pm

Now it's June 1st and something happened on this day.

Here's a picture that may help finding what I look for:

VEB152 · Post by **VEB152** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 1:39 pm

European Central Bank was estabilished in 1998 on that day?

Post by **Render** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 3:04 pm

Veb, that's what I was looking for. Your turn!

VEB152 · Post by **VEB152** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 3:16 pm

Yay!

This picture is somehow related to the event that happened on 3rd of June. How?

Post by **Render** » Thu Jun 05, 2014 9:58 am

After Alexei Archipowitsch Leonow left Voskhod 2 (Восход-2) on March 18, 1965 in space and became the first man on a space walk, Edward Higgins White became the first American on a space walk as he left Gemini 4 on June 3, 1965.

VEB152 · Post by **VEB152** » Thu Jun 05, 2014 10:14 am

Good to see both picture explained and question answered

Post by **Render** » Thu Jun 05, 2014 11:06 am

I pass my right to set up the next question on to whoever wants to do that. Feel free to join our game by creating a diffcult riddle.

Post by **Render** » Sun Jun 15, 2014 7:02 am

Nobody... Okay, then I'll do it myself.

What happened today, June 15th and is somehow related to this picture?

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Mon Jun 16, 2014 5:49 pm

The first factory for ice cream was founded on June 15, 1851 in Seven Valleys, Pennsylvania, by the milk dealer Jacob Fussell of Baltimore.

Post by **Render** » Mon Jun 16, 2014 5:58 pm

That's right.

We need to keep in mind that a quolls brain works best when it is freshly electrocuted.

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Tue Jun 24, 2014 8:51 pm

Thanks, Render. I'd rather not be electrocuted again though.

What happened today, June 17th, relating to this picture?

No one? Okay. Here's a hint:

Post by **Render** » Fri Jun 27, 2014 8:16 am

Tricky one, Hlaoroo...

The face is in a rack for transport, came from France and arrived in the port of New York on June 17th 1885 together with the other parts of the Statue of Liberty.

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Fri Jun 27, 2014 8:21 am

Well done!
Right first time!
As always.
You're too good at this.

Post by **Render** » Sun Jun 29, 2014 8:43 am

What's today? Today is June 29th and here is your pic:

Tell me, what's the event for that.

VEB152 · Post by **VEB152** » Tue Jul 01, 2014 4:13 pm

29/06/1995, Space Shuttle "Atlantis" docks to the Mir station?
...it looks like an engine of a Shuttle, don't judge me! DX

Post by **Render** » Tue Jul 01, 2014 4:34 pm

Well done, Veb, well done.

It's your turn again.

VEB152 · Post by **VEB152** » Fri Jul 04, 2014 6:09 am

Thank you, indeed-s, Render.

What (in)significant event took place on 4th of July, that is somewhat related to this picture here?

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Fri Jul 04, 2014 6:30 am

The Mars Pathfinder lands in Chryse Planitia in the Oxia Palus quadrangle in the Ares Vallis on Mars on July 4, 1997.

Post by **Render** » Fri Jul 04, 2014 6:47 am

Okay, Roo has chosen that event, I'll pick the other.

One year later, in 1998, Japan started their space probe Nozomi to study the upper Martian atmosphere. Unfortunately it was unable to achieve Mars orbit due to electrical failures.

VEB152 · Post by **VEB152** » Fri Jul 04, 2014 7:25 am

Well, event that I've picked was one Furr chose, but I like Render's as well

Pick next challenge, gentlequoll, and make it worth the wait unlike this one!

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Sat Jul 19, 2014 6:43 am

Yay! Thanks, VEB!

Okay. Let's see if you guys and girls can get this one. What happened today, July 5th, relating to this image?

Hmm... Seems you need a hint. Here's a big one:

One more hint. If this doesn't give it away then I don't know what will.

Post by **Render** » Sat Jul 19, 2014 6:56 am

Okay, that's really a hard one. I'll try this:

On July 5th, 1865, the Locomotive Act 1865 (Red Flag Act) was issued in the United Kingdom, regulating among other things the speed of "mechanically propelled vehicles" at a maximum of 4 mph (6.4 km/h) in the country and 2 mph (3.2 km/h) in the city, as well as requiring a man carrying a red flag to walk in front of road vehicles hauling multiple wagons.

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Sat Jul 19, 2014 7:02 am

Yay, Render!
Finally! Well done!

Post by **Render** » Sat Jul 19, 2014 8:15 am

Thanks, I like the hard ones.

And now to something completely different: Today, July 19th happened something and this pic might or might not help you finding it.

Post by **Render** » Sat Jul 26, 2014 7:55 am

Need a hint? Here it comes:

I hope it helps...

----------

Need a second hint? Maybe this helps to bring you on the right track:

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Sat Jul 26, 2014 8:15 am

Found it!

The comic opera Falstaff was first performed on 19 July 1838 at Her Majesty's Theatre, Covenant Gardens, London.

Post by **Render** » Sat Jul 26, 2014 8:19 am

Congratulations, dear E-Quoll. You got it!

Post by **Hlaoroo** » Sun Jul 27, 2014 5:47 am

Yay! Thanks, Render!

Here's the challenge for today, July 27:
