HOW TO PLAY HSN’S TRIVIA: Questions can be found in the Rewards Store within the Arcade, And begin between 8 pm and 8:05 pm DST depending upon your computer clock. There are six questions during the game. The last question is posted between 10:30 pm and 10:35 pm EST. Again, depending upon your computer clock. Each question lasts approximately 30 minutes, so you will need to come up with the correct response within that time frame. If you answer incorrectly, you will see a red “OOPS.” The incorrect response will not count against you unless the time is up. Each correct answer is worth 200 tickets to use in the Rewards Store against the Featured or Current Sweepstakes. So, before you tear your hair out, before you give up, just return to this thread where one or more of us will be able to help. Also, join us in light conversation, ideas or whatever and LET THE FUN BEGIN….
NOTE; Sometimes a little gremlin will pose a question that requires a number. In those instances it may not accept for example 16. It’s the correct response, but you may need to spell it out: sixteen. Other times there may be a two word answer such as: Happy Birthday. Happy Birthday may need to be written as one word: HappyBirthday. There are also times when the answer is a plural even though the question seems to reflect something that isn’t. However, sometimes it is easier to check this thread for the correct response.

It’s been a real long road TACI. We are almost there. Hubby has a procedure on Wednesday followed by the urologist eight days later. I’m hoping the outcome will mean he can return home.

You are welcome maxienne. Hubby is doing much better. He is eating and that is the main thing. I also purchased the dbest from HSN. That cart has saved my back a number of times. I also purchased a small sandwich cooler that comes with a freezer pak. It fits the cart and that is the main thing. I will now be able to bring him ice cream which he has asked for on numerous occasions. These two items will head North when we are ready and of course get the physicians OK.

What’s dbest?
If he loves chocolate, Turkey Hill makes something called Triapolitan, with 3 different types of chocolate. Very few stores carry it, and there are at least 3 different versions
of it.
