MAY HINTS:

May is the fifth month of the year.

Bottles of many fine liquors come in fifths.

For some odd reason, very few witnesses ever "took the fifth" when cross-examined by Perry Mason.

If you are having trouble with these clues, calling out "May Day" is unlikely to rescue you.

May-o is a spread you can put on a sandwich, as we see on the Food Channel.

Web Page Question and Answer:

Q: What was the name of Perry Mason's secretary, and who portrayed her in the television series?

A: Della Street, played by Barbara Hale (2 points)

RULES:

We don't have many rules, except to have fun with your teammates and the other teams.

Teams may be no more than 8 players.

No electronic aids, so don't try using your Blackberry to Google the answer. No phoning a friend, either.

The hints given can help you figure out the categories of questions. Study anything you like before the quiz, but it's not open book. Leave the encyclopedia at home.

All decisions of the judges are final!
