    We'll this is my official 5,000th post, so I thought I'd try and make it a bit interesting.

    I've come up with a series of 20 questions for all you Rogues out there to answer. Most are WWII related, with a few general knowledge questions thrown in for good measure. Before you start, I'll give you a hint that will make much more sense once you get through a few questions: this Otto Quiz is both much easier, and much harder than you first think upon reading it. I'll post the results when the time is right. ;)

    There is only one rule, you can answer only one question. that means it will take 20 different Rogues to complete this Quiz!

    Correct! dgm, that was question # 19, so that one's off the list.

    Sorry no EvilGuy. :eek: The question #2 reads: "This Jewish man published the diary of his daughter, a girl who at just 15 years old died a Victim of the Holocaust."

    So far six questions gone, #'s 7, 12, 13, 17, 19, and 20.
