Regarding #116 "Proclamation Line"-- do you think this is referring to the Proclamation Line of 1763? That's the only Proclamation Line that I can think of...--Kfreeland 00:47, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Yes, it is referring to this. --Siva1979Talk to me 04:46, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Less than 100 to go now. Raul654 00:40, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Alfred Tobin

The question (from the 2000 Regionals, "GW_ILL_B") which erroneously gave an answer of Alfred Tobin (I haven't found any Alfred Tobins that have done anything particularly noteworthy) is thus:

This Nobel winner and author of The American Business Creed conceived of the idea of an eponymous “tax” on currency exchanges that would take away some of the incentives to engage in currency speculation. His ideas have become more popular in the wake of the Asian financial crises.

Which would be James Tobin, who certainly is worthy of a Wikipedia article. Indeed, there is one on him, one on his quotient, one on his regression model, and one on his tax. -- Jonel | Speak 03:13, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, I figured it referred to him, I just didn't feel like looking for it, thanks for doing that. Funny that slipped by the editor in the editing. --Rajah 03:04, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kronus Devouring his Children - Goya

That would probably be Saturn Devouring His Son (there is an image in Francisco Goya) AdamSmithee 07:29, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

I've redirected it to the Black Paintings. --Rajah 16:21, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Recent ACF regionals

I have the 2008 ACF regionals in electronic format. Does someone feel up to the task of extracting all the answers? Raul654 (talk) 06:53, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Ok, I've gone ahead and added them. Raul654 (talk) 04:25, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
