Correct! Alex should give you extra credit for the song referencing the answer as well as the correct answer (at least another 10 or 20 K's)

Re: Q&A Game.

What are the three most common colors of quartz besides clear? Rather than naming colors, please provide the common mineral names associated with quartz of those colors.

Very close. 2 out of 3!

Rose quartz is not as common as another type of quartz.

Re: Q&A Game.

Here is a semi-history question, I though it would be fun to try a riddle.

"Something Snappy"
Triggers of consciousness, Control them at will
Externalize, materialize, find a new mindset
Choice, change, mobility, singularity
Flashbacks follow this metaphor of the present
Find the phrase, find what I am

I hope it is not to vague.

Re: Q&A Game.

oooh good one, lets try this, 75 kudos for the riddle

also latest updated standings

Dianenoleen - 20 kudos
freezy - 100 kudos
buffy - 15 kudos
moon - 105 kudos
Mr D - 200 kudos
clay - 10 kudos

And next question.
Known as the "The Invinceable Doctor", a formidable debater, who dared to disagree with the pope (for which he was imprizoned and excommunicated), his name inspired this philosophic principal.

50 kudos...

good luck
