mathNEWSquiz α

Well another term has begun and that means more mathNEWS! Yeah!

It also means more Squiz!!! Now as your SquizMaster I have spent countless hours trying to come up with a decent Squiz. So if you don't like it ... you come up with ideas. Feel free to e-mail me (damceach@uwaterloo.ca) with suggestions and ideas for upcoming Squizzes and I will try to incorporate them, it makes my job easier.

Now, on with the Squiz. Points are awarded two points for each song lyric (1 point for the artist and 1 point for the title) one point for each trivia question. Ties will be broken by random draw. The winner will receive a lovely gift certificate to the C+D.

Lyrics

1. I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend
   I hope I hold a special place with the rest of them
   And you know it makes me sick to be on that list
   But I should have thought of that before we kissed
2. There's a woman on the outside
   Looking inside does she see me?
   No she does not really see me
   Cause she sees her own reflection
3. Don't it always seem to go
   That you don't know what you've got till it's gone
   They paved paradise
   And put up a parking lot
4. Take a little trip, hater pack up yo' mind
   Look forward not behind, then you'll see what you find
   I caught a sucker dyin cause he thought could rhyme
   Now if his momma is a quarter daughter must be a dime
5. You and me We come from different worlds
   You like to laugh at me
   When I look at other girls
