Ok the subject is not clear...I did that purposely. Last year I held a "Masonic Jeopardy" in a tiled lodge during one of our stated communications. It was well received and I created a MS powerpoint replete with the sound effects and the board was projected on a screen with a laptop and a projector. My WM this year as requested that I repeat it. I have been going over the questions and I have about 75% of them. I wonder if any brother out there has any suggestions as to a topic or any specific questions as an invitation will be going out to the district to, challenge brothers from other lodges to attend and have a friendly competition. Again this will be in tiled lodge so the 'answers' can be about anything Masonic. In general we try to make it as fun as it is educational. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

This sounds like a promissing thread. How about a Biblical Reference Category? We are instructed to make our own study of the Great Light and I have found that some of our best references get rounded out and made more meaningful when we take the time to read more. Here is a good answer in search of a question for such a category:
Answer: He is fellow in the Book of Ruth who plucks off his shoe and gives it to his neighbor.
Question: Who was "XXXX?"
Masons should know this answer and would recognize it as the name of Solomon's Great-great-great-great-great-great grandfather. The pillar that denotes "strength" was named for this man. In the text, he is a man of some wealth who falls in love with Ruth, a widowed indentured servant. He has secret knowledge that the fields that his crew are cultivating belong to Ruth's Mother-in-Law, Naomi, the widow of Elimilech. By marrying Ruth, he could easily obtain title; but instead, he does the honorable thing and sees to it that ownership is given to where it belongs, to Naomi. The shoe is given to the elders to sign the contract but also to signify that the women are no longer nomads and slaves. This site later becomes the village of Bethlehem; and the story is the foundation for Masons peculair interest in widows and orphans.

Bro. Bill, will it be out in the Hamptons or further West so that some of us in the 1st Nassau can attend? If not, what are the chances of getting a copy of the powerpoint program for use in our District?
O.K. Here is another Biblical Answer / Question for the board:
Answer: She was sacrificed after being awarded two months to mourn her virginity to honor a covenent between her father and T.G.A.O.T.U. so that he would win for his people the Amonitish War.
Question: Who was Jepthah's daughter, his only child?
This event will be remembered by most Masons as 40 and 6 thousand Amonites were felled by a waterford when they could not frame to pronounce a particular word "aright."

FYI Brethren, the event will be held at Potunk Lodge # 1071 on Feb 4th, located in Westhampton. However, I do have a template in MS Power Point that any Masonic Lodge can use. You will need to have a PC/ laptop with MS powerpoint 2000 or better, a TV/projector and screen and someone to host and it helps to have 1 or 2 people with score jeeping/judging. I am planning on using a simple paddle for "contestants" to raise to answer. With the template all you have to do is punch in the categories, answers and questions and the template will do the rest. if you would like a copy please email me and I will gladly send it on over. i can even include a list of questions and answers I used last year to get you started. When I did this last year it was a really fun night and the Brethren there talked about it for the rest of the year, well worth the effort and a few admitted that they learned something that night.
