Hahaha aww. My fax machine makes the siren noise from when you catch the thief at the end of the case whenever you cancel sending or redialing. I usually yell "I just captured Carmen Sandiego!!" and dance around when it does that

No wonder everyone in my home town thinks i'm insane :nerd:

But here's the thing I want to add to the thread. I've seen the collecting of copyright protection questions and answers before, and as I played it today, I just happened to get a question that is not on your list. Therefore I want to share this info with you guys.

The question I got is this:
Iceland is 39,769 square miles; the size of the state of ________. (8 characters)

I googled about it and found that it should be Kentucky. Unfortunately the game didn't took this answer, I tried it twice.

So, maybe you can use that information.

Thx and keep on retro-gaming. k:
