Good morning, Professor. Thanks for your visit.
Yes, sir, in the Rupununi there are strawberry guava trees that originated in Brazil.
You are a great guava guesser, guest.
Congrats, and feel free to come again.

Mr. Gilbakka:
* Thanks for the kind and glowing compliments Sir.
* As you are fully aware the Rev has a notorious reputation for being dead wrong in his prognostications over in Political, so it is, indeed, refreshing and rejuvenating to be right wagering a guess over here in social in this challenging and captivating thread.

It's Peter Kempadoo aka Lauchmonen. He was the son of James.
"Guiana Boy" was first published in 1960, making Kempadoo the first Indo-Guyanese novelist.
Congratulations.
I met Peter Kempadoo and his wife Rosemary in the 1970s.

That's absolutely correct. Christopher Nicole has written more than 200 books, mostly novels. He wrote a chess manual from which I learnt to play the game in the mid-1970s. I brought it to Canada. Right now, I'm reading one of his novels, Falls of Death, from which I got that Kaieteur question.
Nicole is 84 years old.

Christopher Robin Nicole and he lives in Guernsey, Channel Islands.
That's absolutely correct. Christopher Nicole has written more than 200 books, mostly novels. He wrote a chess manual from which I learnt to play the game in the mid-1970s. I brought it to Canada. Right now, I'm reading one of his novels, Falls of Death, from which I got that Kaieteur question.
Nicole is 84 years old.
Congrats!!
Thank you Sir Gil it is quite amazing to write under so many pen names.
Also thanks Django and Riya

Nah. I use more than one book and I double-check on the Internet. Generally, I set a quiz whose answer is out there. Sometimes, I make it difficult by asking a question that doesn't have an answer online.

Anjali:
* I noticed Sir put a stumping on all of we yesterday with that Wakenaam Sheik Sadeek quiz. He then referred to the boys as "Lazy boys" for not getting the correct answer--- but he was kind to the ladies.
* Anyway, Sir Gilbakka is a wily old fox---he'll soon make his questions more complicated.

Here's a fun exercise.
Some people have a deadly fear of motion. They won't ride a Ferris Wheel for example. Give me a 12-letter word for that condition.
