SO I have applied to go on the show, the first round is chosen subject to which I have chosen the history of Alembic Inc and their products. So I am reading the website and the history all the time BUT the history ends at 1981(the long story) which is over thirty years ago! There must be more history since then but where can I find it. I will e mail Mica to see if she can enlighten me but I may not get past the prelims but it is worth a try lbpesq Senior Member Username: lbpesq Post Number: 5080 Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Wednesday, February 22, 2012 - 9:10 am:    Terry: Will you be competing against others regarding Alembic history? If so, unless your competitors are also on this forum, you should be a shoo-in! Good luck. Bill, tgo P.S. Make sure you spell it for them. Otherwise you might find yourself being asked about torches, rings, long jumps, Jesse Owens, and Greece! lol (Message edited by lbpesq on February 22, 2012) terryc Senior Member Username: terryc Post Number: 1777 Registered: 11-2004 Posted on Wednesday, February 22, 2012 - 9:28 am:    Ibpesq..I doubt it, each contestant is on a different subject and then the second round is general knowledge funkyjazzjunky Senior Member Username: funkyjazzjunky Post Number: 734 Registered: 5-2007 Posted on Wednesday, February 22, 2012 - 11:35 am:    I hope they do not ask you questions about stills VMG jacko Senior Member Username: jacko Post Number: 3095 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Thursday, February 23, 2012 - 4:55 am:    Let's hope the mastermind team don't ask questions based around Doug Irwin's version of 'the truth relating to wolf'.
