Rats. I have to readjust the score then.

The Director 4
Me 1

In 2007, a 830 lb. Grizzly bear was hit outside the town of Lincoln Montana. It's known as the Lincoln bear.

Did you forget to add the bear win to my total score? Isn't it 5-1 now? But who's counting.

RE: Trivia Advent Calendar
You're probably right, but I'm not conceeding until Eva chimes in.

I have to get my score bumped up quick. It's frustrating. I'm cheating, too...

RE: Trivia Advent Calendar
Impressive, Laurie, absolutely, this is correct again. Here's some info and the entire flag:

I post this link because it contains more interesting information while I find the headline questionable. Was William Todd a slaveowner himself? If not I find it unfair to blame him for his relatives.

As for the score:
Laurie: 5
Gene: 2
Roger: 2
Joe: 1
Thomas: 1

However, to me every participant is a winner - dabei sein ist alles, Herr Beckert!

RE: Trivia Advent Calendar
Ready for a new brain teaser?

I would like to encourage everyone to participate! As you can see with Laurie, even if you think you don't know, your wildest guess may score! So please, everyone - guess all-you-can!

What is #11, respectively what happened here?

RE: Trivia Advent Calendar
Is that part of the University of Maryland in Baltimore where Samuel Mudd studied medicine and graduated in 1856?

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Oh my - after I posted this I see Joe posted the same.

OK, I'll guess it's Georgetown College where Dr. Mudd went prior to the University of Maryland OR St. John's College where he went prior to that.

RE: Trivia Advent Calendar
Never mind, Roger, it was a brilliant guess, as is your latest. Joe - another excellent idea, but, sorry, none is correct.

Hint #1: This was not a school nor other kind of educational institution.
Hint #2: The building still has the same function as when happened what I am looking for.

St Johns Prep or the Mental Hospital Henry Rathbone was sent to.

RE: Trivia Advent Calendar
There was a hospital next to the University of Maryland - this is where Dr. Mudd practiced in his last year at the university. Is it this hospital?

RE: Trivia Advent Calendar
I am delighted as for the many good ideas today!! (You are about to make my day!) Another very smart guess, Roger, but I am sorry to say this is not a hospital either (= hint #3!)

Hint #4: I think it's indeed a good idea to brood about the function of this building!
