Alas, Alack, the old Quiz was posting replies in the middle and everywhere. SO let's try again, until this thread goes bezerk as well:

What was the ONLY closed thread in the history of the AC Forums? (who says I'm not a veteran?)

For some more classic style questions, all of the following answers start with the same 3 letters. Which letters will soon become evident to you, hopefully.

1) The last meal of the day, traditionally.
2) Great
3) Really Great
4) A contration for asking how things are going (vernacular).
5) Prone
6) Excessive
7) An addition
8) Infamous Mary Poppins word (spelling does not count)

12/18 = 2/3. Could be better. I'll have to think more....

Also, could you elaborate on #9? It doesn't seem to make sense.

But supercede does fit nicely in for #14. Supplant does too, I suppose, but that's what I originally intended.

9 is indeed superficial. I meant "What appears ON the surface," sorry. Superimposed does work for 12 though, that's what I intended.

You still haven't gotten 3. It's not supreme. Hmmm...

Correct Spoe.

We seem to have run out of questions. Anyone want to give us a new set?
