Well, being a Christian, I hate to say what the question was! It was "name an occupation which requires you to work on a Sunday."
I'll give you guys a day to guess all the answers. Tomorrow morning, I'll post a screenshot of the answers revealed.

Tomorrow morning, I'll post a screenshot of the answers revealed. That's going to be tough to answer especially since that question is as old as me. It's also tough because back then most things were closed on Sunday. Here's my guess: 1. Police Officer 2. Fireman 3. Clergyman 4. Doctor / Surgeon 5. Grocery checker 6. Chef / Cook 7. Ambulance driver 8. Nurse 9. Waiter / Waitress 10. Babysitter If I got half of those right I'll be happy. |

Wow I didn't think I'd get 7 out of 10. I guess I should give myself a round of appulause ;D.
That was pretty fun. I hope you can post another picture for us to guess at sometime soon.

Here's a screen grab of a rare 10 answer question. This question was played in 1976. I couldn't help but notice that the pics you showed both have a fisheye effect to them. My only guess is that, based on the old GSN logo, the camera itself (in 1976) had a slight fisheye effect on its lens. Wow... the wonders of what one learns when they take up photography and Photoshop. ^^ |

Good observation. In trying to make my graphics picture-perfect, this effect you've described has been a really bad annoyance because it really doesn't help achieve proportion.
You don't quite notice it as bad on regular TV sets. On regular TV sets, you don't see the outer extents of the image posted here. It's still a little noticable but the convex shape of standard TV screens makes the effect flatten out a bit. Maybe that was the intention when they broadcasted the show? I have no idea.

Actually Todd, this is perhaps the BEST shot of the panels you'll ever get! In fact, you should've used it when making the Presentation Software. Unlike the angular shots from the '80s and '90s, the '70s gave us a centered shot of the panels. I have a 21-inch flat screen TV and I too notice that "curve" at the bottom of the panel, to me it looks more "concave" than "convex". You are right about the lost of picture, there are 525 horizontal lines in a TV picture, approx. 1/6 of the picture is lost and 480 of those lines are visible at home. |

........oops, that's Todd's line ;D!
