Room - that is, space - must be available for a bed to fit in a bedroom; for example, you do not want to put a king-size bed in a room that is too small.

The neighbours of mine often have guests who like to park their cars in front of our home, something I am not entirely comfortable with...but I know that since it's a public street, anyone has the right to park there....just as long as they don't block other people's driveways; that kind of thing is forbidden.

Winning the championship mean you need to play at least 11 games during the playoffs.

The playoffs in baseball consist of 3 rounds - the Division Series (best 3 of 5), the Championship Series (best 4 of 7), and the World Series (4 of 7), so yes, that is true; the team that goes all the way must play at least 11 games (and win them all), and at most 19.
Subject: Re: Fantastic word game
Written By: Indy Gent on 05/25/09 at 11:11 pm
19 just seems to be such an odd number, they should increase the first round to a best-of-7.
Subject: Re: Fantastic word game
Written By: nally on 05/25/09 at 11:18 pm
A best-of-7 requirement in the Division Series would increase the number of required wins to 12, and the maximum number of games (to be played by one team) to 21, which is also an odd number, but at least it isn't prime like 19 is.
