Vector mentions Chess, Poker and Bridge in Forbidden Knowledge, but that's about it, as far as I know. (I'm still only 2/3 through FK, and have only read TRS other than that)

Good question!

EDIT: He also mentions the game that came before/inspired Bridge I think, (that or Poker? I can't remember which) but I can't remember what it was called; plus it was really just mentioned in passing.

Whist was the game that begat Bridge IIRC.

Ah whist! I've been to many whist drives.

Yes, it would beget Bridge, very similar but without partners. Can't remember any games mentioned in the Gap series, but only read it once. Head like a seive.

What real life physicist is mentioned by two different "characters" in the Gap Series?

I'm going to guess. But it's just a guess.

Heisenberg? (Or Einstein?)

Almost sure about Heisenberg.

And won't it be better to have one thread for all these questions?

We have one.

It's the moderators job to merge this one into it. Where is the damn moderator?

Rarely able to visit, but visit I still do. I'll try to pop in a bit more often, but hey.
Anyway, done.

No it's not.

This one should be merged into the quiz, don't you think?

(Actually up to you really...but that's what I was thinking when I posted.)

Yes, Werner Heisenberg is the Correct Answer -- Well done!

Sorry Mod...been a member of this site for 10 years plus and can't seem to get my act together.

Hahaha.

Ok, I suppose it's my question.

What was Nick's real name?

--A

His real name is never revealed is it?

Post by **Avatar** » Mon Feb 11, 2013 6:00 am

Haha, I forgot I asked a question. However, I am pretty sure his real name is revealed in the story of how he got his ship in the first place.

That said, I will have to look it up.

From what I can remember, it was mentioned that he'd had another name, and the current one was tied to his ship. But I don't think it specified what his real name was.

Edit, edit, edit. Server errors keep eating my posts.

Ok, which book do we hear the story of his youth in?

--A

Post by **Sorus** » Wed Feb 20, 2013 12:58 am

I thought it was in ADaHGA, but I couldn't find the scene.

And I can't find my copy of FK.

Post by **Avatar** » Wed Feb 20, 2013 5:19 am

Ok, so it's either FK or Chaos & Order. I'll try look it up.

Post by **Sorus** » Thu Feb 21, 2013 12:01 am

I didn't reread the whole thing. It just wasn't where I thought it was. It could still be in ADaHGA. Maybe I should just reread it.
