Question 23b : On the top of your mind, name the wealthiest woman. You are allowed to be wrong, but if somebody can name a welthier woman within 24 hours of your nomination he gets the lead and a 24h waiting period. Of course, should somebody name the #1 richest woman in the world, the question automatically ends.

[PluMGMK]

Queen Elizabeth II?

[Pirez]

Well... That's definitely one guess, I guess...

Let's go 24 hours.

EDIT : It's well past 24 hours now. Good job, Plum.

Question 24 : What happened on this day (July 20th), 50 years ago?

[PluMGMK]

Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin took their first steps on the lunar surface.

And probably a bunch of other stuff that nobody cares about…

[Pirez]

Inching closer to the end!

Question 25 : As we enter match point territory and thus the death of this contest, name the most deities associated to death, in any mythology. Once again, if your list is submitted (and validated), you get 24h for someone else to top it. You need to top with more names and they all have to be different.

[PluMGMK]

And I can't answer btw.

[Pirez]

Do we really have to comply with this now? Clearly nobody's interested...

[The Jonster]

The only ones I can name off the top of my head right now are these:
Hades
Thanatos

[Pirez]

Let's go 24h (a bit less now)

EDIT : Time's up!! You did it. Grats!

Question 26 : Translate this message : .. ..-. / .--. .-.. ..- -- --. -- -.- / - .-. .- -. ... .-.. .- - . ... / - .... .. ... / ..-. .. .-. ... - / .... . / .-- .. -. ...

[PluMGMK]

Can anyone here do this without Googling?

[Pirez]

I'm sure they can. Everybody has morse code translator they hang around from the telegraph era.

Just kidding. I'm not opposed to having the translation sheet around. It's outright translating the whole message via google that I'd find iffy.

[Hunchman801]

I don't speak walrus.

[PluMGMK]

In that case:

If PluMGMK translates this first he wins

[The Jonster]

In that case:

If PluMGMK translates this first he wins

Well have you????

[Pirez]

Indeed he has. Congrats Plum!!!

And now may I suggest to lay this quizz dormant for a while?

[PluMGMK]

Well, we'll have the usual two-week cool-down, then we'll see.

Anyway, thanks!

[Steo]

Well done Plum!

I'll admit that general knowledge isn't my strong point, especially when it comes to history. I didn't want any points of shame.

[Matyuv]

It's time.

[PluMGMK]

It's time.

It was time two days ago, even, but I only realized this morning when I checked my spreadsheet. Thanks for the reminder anyway!

Question 1: Which prominent media mogul's company currently owns The Times (London)?

[Matyuv]

Murdoch?
