Parks Game! Part 4: Let's Play Some More!!

[DisneyJen]

Hmmm... I think there are 8 sitting and 35 standing ... and I think Higgsi is going to earn a technical AAQ for his answer

 

[Higgs22]

LOL...while we wait for confirmation...I'm going to cash in my technical AAQ...let's see if I can cook up one of my patented trick questions that DJen loves so much

How many U.S. Presidents have or have had a speaking role in the Hall of Presidents???

 

[madonna31]

71?

 

[Granny]

Hey!...I have an answer that is technically right...

It's always a touchy situation when one of the PGSP representatives is asking for a Semantics Ruling...and even tougher when he is the Emperor of the Parks Game thread!!

I guess we'll have to wait for Kim to show up in the Black Monorail to make a ruling on this one!

And if Higgs gets the President's AAQ card, then I'm appealing my "Disney owns the Diamond Horseshoe Saloon" answer!


Ahhhhh...a squabble in the Chalk Circle....now that will get the adrenaline flowing!



Forget the adrenaline, let's get the whiparitas flowing!

LOL...Granny I was just kidding around...and I noticed the thread was slow...so I decided to post a question while we waited for MBabe...
(I posted it again...because I wanted to add something---I want the EXACT number of Presidents...I will reject any answer that is too high or low...)

BTW...Madonna...71 is just WAY to high!

 

[MickeyBabe]

Jen geting closer.... more sitting...less standing.


Nice try for a technical AAQ card Higgs... but I believe that since part of the question is also the number of presidents standing, this implicitly implies that sitting refers to the physical position of the AA Predidents in question .

Whew... I need a drink of water after all of that... Jen got any good medicinal water of which I may partake ... Oh and is it allowed to put ice in said medicinal waters or may I ask for it chilled?

 

[madonna31]

17?

 

[Higgs22]

OK...MBabe....I agree....so are ther 10 sitting and 31 standing Presidents??

Still off Madonna.....way too high....

 

[madonna31]

Ok - I was going to say 1 - but I thought that there was a trick to it?!?

Now you're low......and yes there is a trick

 

[madonna31]

2?

 

[MickeyBabe]

Higgs.... More sitting...less standing


Gee.... What does a girl need to do to get a drink around this place?????


And Higgs.....In the current version, I think there are three presidents that speak. Washington, Lincoln and the sitting (current ) President, which now is George W. Bush. So if the only change is as each new president was added, it would include...

George Washington
Abraham Lincoln

Richard Milhous Nixon
Gerald Rudolph Ford
James Earl Carter, Jr.
Ronald Wilson Reagan
George Herbert Walker Bush
William Jefferson Clinton
George Walker Bush


For a total of Nine Presidents with speaking parts since the October 1971 opening of HoP.

 

[Momto2Minnies]

Are there 7 sitting presidents and 32 standing?

 

[Carpe'Disney]

Dont forget that Lincoln sits and stands so there is going to have to be a half in there
Mentally teleporting some beverages into the CC:
Coffee
Coke
Tea
Beer
Red/White/blush wines
Champagne(Dom of course)
Orange juice

Whew! that took alot out of me.
14.5 sitting 27.5 standing

Good guess MBabe...but wrong...

Actually Madonna gets the AAQ card with her guess of 2...

Here's how it breaks down...
When the HoP opened...only Lincoln spoke...the others were simply introduced during roll call...

Then when Clinton came into office...he made a special recording to be used in the attraction....
That was replaced by a recording made by the current President George W. Bush...
Now I know Lincoln still speaks...not sure about Washington...haven't been the HoP since the early 90's...but even if he does...it doesn't change the answer...

See...I told you there was a trick...
The only actual U.S. Presidents heard are Bush and Clinton..
Lincoln (and/or Washington) is voiced by an actor speaking his words..since Lincoln (and/or Washington) died long before the invention of voice recording...and no known recordings exist of those voices....

Ahhh...I love trick qustions....

BTW...are there 15 sitting and 27 standing Presidents?

 

[Granny]

Arrrgggghhhhhh!!! These HoP questions are too much like the History classes I slept through!


So I'll toss one out there just for the heck of it:

In Haunted Mansion, your ghastly host intones that there is no flash photography on the ride. What does he give as the reason for no flash photography?



Carpe....I sent you a PM....and thanks for the libations!

 

[MickeyBabe]

Higgs... Not 15 sitting / 27 standing.... and Carpe'... uh no half presidents but you are on to something there

Good trick question Higgs .... I am not worthy...I am not worthy

 

[Granny]

MBabe...how about 12 sitting and the rest standing (most of the time)?


Higgs....good trick question! Even better because you told us it was a trick question to begin with!!!

 

[MickeyBabe]

Granny... no not 12 sitting (psstttt.... Higgs was closer on his last guess)


Uh, Granny dear, would you get me a refreshment sir? I am oh so parched

 

[DisneyJen]

Sheesh I missed one of Higgsi's trick questions You know how I love those

And how about some nice Ice Wine to honor our friend in the North and our resident Canadian on nailing the HoP question

MBabe 11 sitting and and 31 standing?
