It's The QUIZ!

[PenHero]

PLEASE READ: Quiz Rules

 

Today's quiz is a cadence quiz in six parts.

 

Each part is one round and scores one point for the winner of that round.

 

Each step in the quiz will be a set of clues until that item is identified. The person who first correctly guesses the answer wins that round. Each round will be the same until we are finished.

 

Whoever correctly first guesses the most correct answers wins the quiz and the Sheaffer Intrigue Ballpoint!

 

I'll post a running score after each round and declare the winner at the end.

 

In case of a tie, I have a tie breaker question prepared.

 

The First Clue follows in One Minute!

 

Have fun!

Dear Elaine,

 

Check the second clue... Same device!

[Claes]

operate the piston converter

[PenHero]

squeezing the converter

Dear Gerry,

 

Correct on the device! Not on the function. In 2004 models the device works differently...

[Elaine]

The filler is unscrewed and the attached

sleeve is extracted from the pen. You then push this whole mechanism down

while the nib is in the ink bottle which results in the internal inc sac

being compressed and after a three to five seconds the inc sac expands again

and sucks up the ink from the bottle.

[PenHero]

operate the piston converter

Correct!

 

Claes gets Round ONE!
