One of the radio stations I listen to plays a game every morning at 6:45 called "You Can't Win." They give you crazy questions and you have to be a serious detective to figure them out. Only a few people get to try each day, so it takes months to get through all 5 questions. For a long time, they've been going through #1 and #2.
#1 - Approximately 5% of people do this. (Answer is dream in color.)
#2 - This ways almost exactly a ton. (Then we got a clue that it was weather related, then weather CHANNEL related) On Wednesday someone FINALLY guessed that it's the Weather Channel's hurricane tracking computer.
#3 - This famous person was allergic to carrots.
I grabbed my phone because I KNEW THE ANSWER. Right away. I've never called a radio station before (even though I regularly try to get on Smarter than Reagan and I never get through.)
Anyway, just got a busy signal. So Thursday morning I made sure I was up and ready to go on time, and called the show and got put on hold a few minutes before the game. (Guess not as many people call for this one.) And the guy before me got it right. Seriously? It takes months to get #1 and #2 and I just happen to know #3 and someone else does too?? Poop.
#4 is "This takes a half hour." Mike did some googling for me so we'll see if we come up with a good answer. I didn't have one. Bummer. It doesn't matter though because it's only the person that answers #5 that wins the money.
But I got to be on the radio.
Oh, and the answer is Mel Blanc - Bugs Bunny's voice. I learned that when he died and I tucked it away in case I ever needed to win Jeopardy. Or, you know, a local radio station contest. :)
