dc, you wouldn't be trying to snow us with something about the Feds shutting down for those days, now would you?



dcnovice -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (2/11/2010 7:05:31 PM)

You got it, Lance. It was the first time since anyone's kept track that weather closed the federal government for four consecutive days.

Your turn!

Hint # 1: A unique quartet and the answer has a quartet within a quartet.



fluffypet61 -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (2/12/2010 4:17:20 PM)

Those are Roman numerals for 1, 50, 5, & 10.



LanceHughes -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (2/12/2010 5:03:32 PM)

C'mon fluff, you know me better than that.
 
Hint #2:  What makes these four Roman Numerals a unique quartet is that they were recently used for the first time in a special way.  They appear in alphabetical order to disguise the order in which they appeared.



fluffypet61 -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (2/12/2010 5:28:04 PM)

(It brought the thread back to page one didn't it?)



dcnovice -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (2/12/2010 5:29:37 PM)

Super Bowl XLIV?



fluffypet61 -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (2/12/2010 5:30:10 PM)

How about Super Bowl XLIV (2010)?



LanceHughes -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (2/12/2010 5:40:44 PM)

fluff, thanks for doing that.... (bumping it "legally") I was just about ready to offer the hint.  I'm suprised that dcnovice (being snowed in with plenty of time) didn't answer yesterday. LOL!  I would've prefered something more like "first time the Super Bowl had a number that can be written using those four numerals, each just once."
 
dc: since you're "moderator" of the game, do you want to proceed or should I wait for you or fluff or anybody to get the BONUS points for the quartets within the quartet?

MUST leave without waiting for your answer, dc.



dcnovice -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (2/12/2010 6:39:39 PM)

Fluffy, you have a quartet handy?



dcnovice -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (2/12/2010 7:05:14 PM)

NEW QUARTET:

Jean de Brébeuf
Noël Chabanel
Antoine Daniel
Charles Garnier



LinnaeaBorealis -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (2/12/2010 7:06:45 PM)

Oooooh!!  Ooooh!!!  I know this one!!!!!

Guys with French names, right???



dcnovice -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (2/12/2010 7:14:22 PM)

Mai oui. But there's a little more to it than that.



MistressHolly71 -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (2/12/2010 10:29:14 PM)

I think they're Canada's first saints.



LanceHughes -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (2/13/2010 1:18:47 AM)

Well, fine.... just fine.
 
XLIV = 44, so there's a pair o'fours......
But, there's only FOUR ways to write a number using those four Roman numerals, each once.  Those four numbers (in Arabic numerals) are 44, 46, 64, 66 - see? Another quartet - and within those four are FOUR occurances of the digit 4.  Fascininating, n'est-ca pa?  Oh, alright.... maybe (just maybe) I was the only one that found it fascinating. LOL
 
We now continue with the regularly scheduled game......

Brava, Holly! They're part of a group known as the North American Martyrs or Canadian Martyrs.

Your turn, Ma'am!



dcnovice -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (2/14/2010 11:06:41 AM)

We haven't heard from Holly, so anyone who has a quartet handy is welcome to post it.



fluffypet61 -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (2/14/2010 11:08:32 AM)

Let's try this one.
