Actually, I don't think we've found actual water on Mars, just evidence of once flowing water.

May 28, 2002: Using instruments on NASA's 2001 Mars Odyssey spacecraft, surprised scientists have found enormous quantities of buried treasure lying just under the surface of Mars -- enough water ice to fill Lake Michigan twice over. And that may be only the tip of the iceberg.

So Brian, ask a question

How many Olympic medals, and how many of each type, has current USA basketball head coach Mike Krzyzewski won as of August 10, 2012? (before the current Olympics is over)

Oh geez....

BrianAlt · 08-10-2012, 11:37 AM

I'm sorry, "oh geez....," is the wrong answer.

But I'll be glad to give you a second chance.

Cue the Jeopardy music.

As the originator of this thread I'm going to call an end to this question. By the way the answer was zero, coaches don't get medals.

Ladies it's your turn to ask a question

That's correct, the answer was ZERO.

As was pointed out, we can't just ask questions about things we can easily look up on the Internet. So the question has to be trickier than that. I was originally looking for a nested question, but settled on this one instead.

Looking forward to the next question.

When would you print Pantone ® in lieu of CMYK?

BrianAlt · 08-13-2012, 03:06 PM

When you want to be absolutely sure that the color you are using will print exactly the way you expect and do so every time you print with that color. You get an exact match to a pre-printed swatch book.

Plus Panatone colors tend to be more vibrant than CMYK.
