No quiz this week

Sorry - it's the doctor's 30th birthday today, so regular quizzing plans are somewhat out the window!

The answers

1) Rae Sremmurd
2) No More Railroads Party
3) Yogi Bear
4) Plague Dogs
5) Sausage Party
6) The Last Unicorn

The doctor's excuses

1) I'd not heard of this group but now I've listened to one of their tracks they seem to be "trap" (genre-wise)... which is not really a style I'm at all familiar with yet (via my very slow self-education in "rap music as a whole"). So that's useful for later, I guess? We had basically no idea and put (effectively) gibberish.
2) Oh good! A multiple choice question, my favourite! We were torn between No More Railroads (which to The Statistician's ears sounded "too modern") and Free Soil. Free Soil was something to do with slavery and... *yawn* *stretch* uhhhh, wow, I'm so tired... sorry I'm just going to have a little sleep until this excuse is over. A celebratory sleep. To celebrate how engaging and fun I find multiple choice questions.
3) We initially had the right answer, but it was overruled by parties who thought The Flintstones seemed like something that accorded better with "The Honeymooners" given that it's (presumably) about a married couple... whereas Yogi Bear is... idk, prolly secretly about gay culture?
4) Plague dogs (no spoilers, not seen it yet) is apparently based on another book by Richard Adams (of Watership Down fame), featuring a bunch of cute animals having just the *worst* possible time of it. Seems like the dude had "a thing" about sad cute animals, I guess.
5) Haha wat. I've not even heard of this movie, it sounds terrible. We went with the equally terrible sounding "Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs 3" since I'd seen some of number 2 over someone's shoulder on an aeroplane, with the sound off, and thought it seemed a reasonable shout.
6) I'VE HEARD OF THIS! A couple of my friends in primary school were basically a bit obsessed with it... there's a wizard called Kendrick and a princess called Eilowny and the bad guy is like... maybe an evil cloud? Something like that. I'm not going to look it up myself, for tax reasons. Feel free to investigate further on your own time, if that sounds like a scene you're into.

How did you do? Would you have beaten us (1 or more point)? Let the world know with the poll below, then read on for my alternative questions (loosely) inspired by this week's Ones That Got Away!


Our alternative questions

Question 6

1) As I'm sure we all know, Rae Sremmurd comes from the duo's home label - EarDrummers - spelled backwards (a process known as backslang). What 3-letter word, British slang for a loutish, uncultured person, was derived in a similar manner?
2) The last time the US Presidency changed from one President to another without changing party was when Republican George H W Bush took over from Republican Ronald Reagan. Who took over the last time this happened for the Democrats?
3) Baseball star Yogi Berra was renowned for his 'Yogi-isms': often (seemingly unintentional) witticisms. Examples include "When you come to a fork in the road, take it" and "I really didn't say everything I said", but what French phrase completes this other classic: "It's _____ all over again"?
4) The Motion Picture Association of America's highest film rating is 'NC-17' - what did the letters 'NC' originally stand for in this rating?
5) Talking food reminded me of the BBC children's show The Herbs which, I have now learned, was written by Michael Bond (of Paddington Bear fame). While Parsley the Lion is arguably the most famous character, the wise owl character was given what rather appropriate herb name?
6) The My Little Pony franchise features three main 'types' of pony. Unicorn Ponies (who wield magic) and Earth Ponies (who are just a bit boring) are two, but what mythical creature's name is used for the third (pictured)?

The answers

1) Yob
2) Lyndon B Johnson (following the assassination of JFK)
3) Déjà vu
4) No Children
5) Sage
6) Pegasus

Mickey Mouse was the first fictional character to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame

Your targets this week:

We won this week, but could you have done even better?

The attendees
1) The statistician
2) The doctor
3) The secret German
4) The metallurgist
5) The rich-person otherkin

The ones that got away
1) His final film attempt, Bruce Lee died during the making of what 1972 martial arts film? (To clarify: this question concerns a film directed, written, and produced by Lee, in contrast to Enter the Dragon in which he makes his last appearance.)
2) Which of these is not a real Donald Trump business venture? a) Donald Trump's Real Estate Tycoon (a video game); b) Trump Ice Cream Parlour; c) GoTrump search engine; d) Trump Up Gas Station; e) Trump Vodka
3) In the movie 8 Mile, Eminem's character has the nickname B-Rabbit. What is the nickname of his rapping chum played by Mekhi Phifer?
4) The movie Who Framed Roger Rabbit is based on a book from a series about the character. Which of the following is not a real book from that series? a) Who Censored Roger Rabbit?; b) Who P-P-P-Plugged Roger Rabbit?; c) Who Wacked Roger Rabbit?; d) Who Remembers Roger Rabbit?
5) 2 Point Question: Name the 2 Stanley Kubrick movies with one-word (or one-name) titles. You need both for the 2 points (no partial credit).

The answers

1) Game of Death
2) Trump Up Gas Station
3) Future
4) Who Remembers Roger Rabbit?
5) Lolita, Spartacus

The doctor's excuses

1) I was, like, 90% sure it was The Big Boss. This was completely wrong. I really can't easily account for why I was so wrong. Game of Death (the correct answer) is where the distinctive "yellow with a black stripe down either side" jumpsuit is from, though. So at least we all learned something today.
2) My dislike of multiple choice quiz questions is a matter of public record. However it turns out that my previous animosity was ignoring the fact that a dislikeable question format could be coupled to a dislikeable person. MAXIMUM DISLIKE! We basically thought Ice-Cream might seem a bit nice and gentle for a [poop emoji] like Trump. But we were wrong, anyway who cares. (Bernie 4 lyfe!).
3) Yeah, no, despite trying to "learn rap music" (for both personal and quizzical reasons) I had no idea. We just went with Wolf, because that seemed to fit with the animal theme going on (with Eminem's character) and thought it was better than a blank space (not the Taylor Swift song).
4) Remember how I said I didn't like multiple choice questions... well that's still true! Ok, can I think of literally anything else to say? Well our rationale for P-P-P-Plugged being wrong was because it was basically "the odd one out", which basically shows how multi choice Qs are proper gash. Like, it often just ends up coming down to "do you think the odd one out is the wrong one or do you think it's one of the others" idk. I just hate it, mang. (Although I appreciate other people maybe do? It's not like I'm the God of Quiz. Yet.)
5) We thought of Lolita pretty fast, but were pretty stuck on the rest of Kubrick's one-word oeuvre. I think we went with Patton because "the bit where he stands in front of the flag seems a bit Kubrick-y". Patton, is of course by Franklin J. Schaffner... so, I guess you know that now. I hope you're happy.

How did you do? Would you have beaten us (1 or more point)? Let the world know with the poll below, then read on for my alternative questions (loosely) inspired by this week's Ones That Got Away!


Our alternative questions

Question 1

1) Master Shifu (pictured), from the Kung Fu Panda franchise, is supposedly what type of animal?
2) A number of fictional characters have stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame (Donald Trump also has one but, alas, is ostensibly non-fictional). Of these, which 2 - one a fairy, the other a bear - were created by British authors? 1 point for each!
3) The name 'D12' - an American hip hop group of which Emimen is a member - is an abbreviation/initialism of what phrase?
4) A bit of a quizzing chestnut: what item of clothing does Bugs Bunny (almost) always wear?
5) Required trivia knowledge is that the characters in A Clockwork Orange use a fictional 'language' called nadsat. In this setting, to what does 'polyclef' refer? Hint: a burglar might find such an item very useful!

The answers

1) Red panda
2) Tinker Bell, Winnie the Pooh
3) The Dirty Dozen
4) Gloves
5) Skeleton key (via 'many keys')

The first retired Atlantic hurricane name was Carol

Your targets this week:

1+ out of 6: Well done, you beat us!
2+ out of 6: We'd have won with you on our team!

The attendees
1) The statistician
2) The doctor

The ones that got away

Question 6

1) What scale is used for rating tornado intensity?
2) At (approximately) what wind speed does a storm change from being classified as a storm to a hurricane? 43mph, 62mph, 74mph or 89mph?
3) Which country is home to the city which holds the record for most snowfall in a 24-hour period? Canada, USA, Italy or Japan?
4) If it's called a hurricane in the Atlantic Ocean, a typhoon in the Pacific Ocean, what is it called in the Indian Ocean?
5) Which was the first country to withdraw from the Kyoto protocol?
6) On the diagram, if the red is a warm front, and the blue is a cold front, what is the purple?

The answers

1) Fujita scale (or F-scale)
2) 74mph
3) Italy
4) A cyclone
5) Canada (in case you're wondering about the USA: they never ratified it in the first place)
6) An occluded front

The doctor's excuses

1) So, fun fact, in the Mortal Kombat series of Excessively Violent Fighting Games there is a character called "Fujin" who is a God of Wind. Fujin starts with the same first four letters as Fujita and is (as far as I can google) completely unrelated (the name Fujita means "wisteria rice-paddy", apparently). Needless to say, we didn't get this one (although our answer of Saffir-Simpson is a *hurricane* rating scale, so that's nice).
2) Here's a fun question. Are numerical multiple choice questions in a quiz a) boring, b) very boring, c) extremely boring, b) the worst. Answers on a postcard (perhaps send it to a neglected relative to cheer up their day!). We went with 62mph since the statistician said that would be about 100kph and might make this question a tiny bit not terrible.
3) Haha, because we live in Canada and it's snowy AF here, we put Canada. It's Italy. Probably... because of all the pizza they eat? IDK I'm not sure I can usefully claim an Italian stereotype is a cause of increased snowfall.
4) We discussed the correct answer of "cyclone" but then I insisted it "must be monsoon because they have a whole season about it" (thinking about how there's like a "hurricane season" in North America). But no, that was stupid and dumb. A monsoon (According to wikipedia) is a "seasonal reversing wind" which is often quite wet.
5) I started reading about the Kyoto Protocol and when I woke up I was in a hospital having just become conscious after a weeklong coma. As a doctor myself, I would recommend you do not drive or operate heavy machinery after having read about the Kyoto Protocol.
6) Our answer of Warm Wet Front, as well as being unpleasantly suggestive, was wrong. I think this question is sort of OK, I guess, in that weather reports are definitely a thing where one could/should have reasonably learned something about them just through being alive and near televisions.

How did you do? Would you have beaten us (1 or more point)? Would you have helped us win (2 or more points)? Let the world know with the poll below, then read on for my alternative questions (loosely) inspired by this week's Ones That Got Away!


Our alternative questions
1) The Fujita scale categorizes six types of 'damage'. Put these six damage classifications into increasing order of damage: Devastating, Incredible, Light, Moderate, Severe, Significant. [Note that sometimes 'considerable' is used instead of 'significant'.]
2) The USA's National Hurricane Center gives hurricances 'human' names based on an alphabetical list. 21 letters are used: Q, X, Y and Z are excluded, along with which other? (Hint: it scores 1 point in Scrabble.)
3) X is the new Y' is an example of a type of phrasal template where X and Y can be replaced by different words. This is described by what neologism? Hint: you can get the word by changing the 'g' and 'b' in 'snowglobe' to new letters.
4) Where can you find an anticyclonic storm that has lasted for (at least) 186 years?
5) Along with Canada, three other UN member states are not party to the Protocol: the USA, Andorra, and which African country? Hint: the Protocol entered infto force in 2005.
6) Occlusion therapy - where an eye patch is placed over a stronger eye to force use of the weaker one - is a common treatment for what eye condition? Hint: it is often caused by a strabismus (or squint), and has a more colloquial name which some consider inappropriate, but either that or the medical term will be accepted.

The answers

1) Light, Moderate, Significant, Severe, Devastating, Incredible
2) U (presumably because they'd run out of plausible 'U' names pretty fast)
3) Snowclone
4) Jupiter (it's the Great Red Spot)
5) South Sudan
6) Amblyopia ('lazy eye' also accepted)

The German 'Wiener' sausage (named after Vienna) is called a Frankfurter in Vienna

Your targets this week:

1+ out of 10: Well done, you beat us!
6+ out of 10: We'd have won with you on our team!

The attendees
1) The statistician
2) The doctor
3) The left-fielder
4) The mac-and-cheese-eater

The ones that got away
1) 5 point question: the word 'laconic' derives from the name of what ancient Greek city state?
2) 2 point question: in English what is the only number spelled alphabetically?
3) 'Devilfish' is an alternative (and rather obsolete) name for what mollusc?
4) How many are in a 'devil's dozen'?
5) In a standard deck of playing cards, the four of what suit is sometimes referred to as the 'devil's bedposts'?

The answers

1) Sparta/Lacedaemon
2) Forty
3) Octopus
4) 13
5) Clubs

My excuses

1) Oof. Quite a lot of points to lose on just one question, almost single-handedly (questionedly?) costing us any hope of winning. We'd not heard this fact before, so were scratching around for 'places in Ancient Greece that sound a bit like laconic'. We toyed with Alexandria for a while ("A-lax...A-lac...A-laconic?") before settling on Macedonia (partly encouraged by the doctor's recollection that "the Ancient Greeks thought that people from the East were a bit stupid, or something?").
2) Oh dear. The two of us who tried to work this out both mis-spelled forty as 'fourty' in our heads, which made things a little more difficult. Still, I thought my idea of "one, because it's still in alphabetical order, just in reverse" was worth a shot.
3) Yes, there was a round on the devil. I don't think any of us knew (or at least remembered) that octopuses were molluscs, and my notes tell me we put 'sea urchin', which Wikipedia tells me is an echinoderm, so...
4) Bah. We thought maybe a devil's dozen was like a rubbish dozen, so 11 instead of 12.
5) Quickly ruling out hearts and diamonds, we were left with a sort-of toss-up between clubs and spades, going for the latter because they look a bit like the devil's tail.

How did you do? Would you have beaten us (1 or more point)? Would you have helped us win (6 or more points)? Let the world know with the poll below, then read on for my alternative questions (loosely) inspired by this week's Ones That Got Away!


Our alternative questions
1) The Hungarian village of Kocs gives rise to what English word for a particular type of multi-person vehicle?
2) Along with forty being in alphabetical order, there are two other somewhat essential bits of trivia relating to numbers and alphabets. For 1 point each, what number comes first alphabetically, and what number comes last alphabetically? (In English, before you get smart.)
3) Octorok is a recurring enemy in what series of video games? The series has sold over 70 million copies worldwide, and even inspired the name of Robin Williams' daughter.
4) What is a baker's dozen baker's dozens minus a gross minus a score?
5) Tempted by a hotel's advertised 'four-poster' beds, you book a night. It turns out that the 'four-poster' refers to four posters above the bed depicting previous famous guests. For 1 point each, name the famous people being clued to. For a fifth point, whose poster was removed from the wall around a year ago? Don't forget: you can click for a bigger version!

Question 5!

The answers

1) Coach
2) Eight and Zero
3) Legend of Zelda ('Zelda' is good enough for the point)
4) 5 (a baker's dozen baker's dozen is 13 times 13, or 169, a gross is a dozen dozen or 144, and a score is 20, so 169 - 144 - 20 = 5)
5) From left to right, top to bottom: Harry Styles (Harry Potter + stiles); Liam Payne (Liam Gallagher + pain); Louis Tomlinson (King Louie + Ricky Tomlinson); Niall Horan (Nile + H + oar + Anne) - the fifth is Zayn Malik

'Pig in a poke' comes from a con involving selling a cat in a bag

We won this week! But you could have done even better?

The attendees
1) The statistician
2) The doctor
3) The rich-person otherkin
4) The metallurgist

The ones that got away
1) Which US state is known as the 'Mountain State'? Hint: it's not in the Rockies.
2) In the Rihanna song 'Work', how many times is the word 'work' said? If you're within 10% of the answer you get the point.
3) If you invested $1,000 in Apple stock when it first went public, how much would it be worth today? The answer starts with 25 followed by some number of zeros.
4) Identify the fake Friends episode title: a) The one with the chat room; b) The one with the East German laundry detergent; c) The one with the mix tape; d) The one with free porn; e) The one with the race car bed
5) The character Harry Mudd is a con artist in which TV series?
6) The character Templteon Peck is a con artist in which TV series?
7) 2 point question: the arena that plays host to the NHL'S Ottawa Senators formerly shared a name with what chemical element?

The answers

1) West Virginia
2) 79 (so 71.1 to 86.9 gets you the point)
3) $250,000
4) The one with the chat room
5) Star Trek
6) The A-Team
7) Palladium

My excuses

1) State nicknames should be bread and butter, but I've never found them interesting enough to study (and don't seem to pick them up passively all that well). Here we initially thought Vermont, but then (correctly) guessed that was the 'Green Mountain' state, so put West Virginia, then at the last minute I persuaded us to go back to Vermont. Good work, me.
2) One person knew how the song went, and from that we did some arithmetic and came up with 173. It only occurred to me shortly after handing in that this would mean 1 'work' almost every second, which perhaps should have seemed optimistic.
3) I really had no idea how to go about this one, and we ended up on $25,000,000. This, it turned out, was quite bad, but not as bad as my first instinct ($250,000,000) or the doctor's ($2.5 billion).
4) Having been Netflixing Friends of late, we knew we'd seen the detergent, race car, and free porn episodes, leaving us with two to choose from. Unfortunately, we mis-remembered an episode featuring a chat room (I think it just featured an instant messenger equivalent?).
5) It looks like this was mainly an The Original Series guy, so we don't feel too bad, but nevertheless must forfeit some geek points. (We thought maybe it was something to do with Mad Men, 'cos it sounded a bit 'old timey'.)
6) This rang a really strong bell but we couldn't work out why. We went with 'Firefly' hoping it rang a bell there.
7) Frustratingly, we assumed this would be some super hard sports question, in fact it was a very work-outable (and quite elegant) 'what are common names for places where sports happen?' question. Sad times.

My alternative questions

Question 3

1) If you take the two-word state nickname of Missouri and repeat it, you get the four-word name of what CBeebies show? On air since 2009, it's hosted by Chris Jarvis and Pui Fan Lee (the latter being best known for playing Po in Teletubbies).
2) The only thing I know about Rihanna is that she's from Barbados, so on that note: the flag of Barbados features the head of a trident, symbolically 'broken' from one held by whom on its previous colonial flag?
3) According to its designer, the Apple logo has a 'bite' taken out of it to show scale, so it would not be confused with what other fruit?
4) No-one really uses chat rooms any more, but what popular instant messaging service takes its name ultimately from the Greek for 'to write at a distance'?
5) Harry Mudd's middle name is, as I'm sure you know, Fenton - a name shared with what type of animal in a 2011 viral Internet video?
6) After explaining how to carry out the Three-card Monte scam on a BBC show, John Lenahan became the first person in 85 years to be expelled from what organization?
7) The only 3-letter element, tin, can be spelled using the symbols for titanium (Ti) and nitrogen (N). Only 2 four-letter chemical elements can be spelled using the symbols of chemical elements. For one point each: which two?

The answers

1) Show Me Show Me
2) Britannia
3) A cherry
4) Telegram
5) A dog (chasing deer)
6) The Magic Circle
7) Neon and Iron (Neon, Oxygen, Nitrogen, and Iridium, Oxygen, Nitrogen)

The earliest version of the Jabberwocky appeared in a periodical called Mischmasch written by Lewis Carroll for his family's amusement

We're back! :D

Your targets this week:

1+ out of 9: Well done, you beat us and we'd have won with you!

The attendees
1) The statistician
2) The doctor

The ones that got away
1) What Japanese car brand existed from 1932 to 1983?
2) What was the currency of Greece before the Euro?
3) What is the name of Don Quixote's imaginary love?
4) According to ancient Greek myth, what is the name of the giant with 100 eyes?
5) What Sylvia Plath poem begins "You do not do, you do not do, any more, black shoe"?
6) Part of a traditional English breakfast, kippers are made from what type of fish?
7) Within 10%, what is the distance between Montreal (Canada) and Boston (USA) in kilometres?
8) Who plays the main character in the movie The Talented Mr. Ripley?
9) Who plays the main character in the movie Alice Doesn't Live Here Any More?

The answers

1) Datsun
2) Drachma
3) Dulcinea
4) Argus
5) Daddy
6) Herring
7) 404km (so 363.6km to 444.4km gets you the point)
8) Matt Damon
9) Ellen Burstyn

The doctor's excuses

1) We've all heard of this brand but, like... no, sorry. There are things I am willing and able to be super boring about, but this is not one of them. What can you do, eh?
2) Yeah, this should have been an easy get, it's primary school history (at least where I grew up). We put dinar thinking of the denarius - the Roman coin that succeeded the drachma as the US dollar of its age (easier to launder though, I bet).
3) I read a comic of Don Quixote as a kid. It was terrible, like properly properly bad. I have no idea if the real book is anywhere near as abject. Presumably not? Given it's so famous? But then again, have you ever tried to read some Dickens, for example? A lot of great literature is fucking dreadful. Anyway. That's why we didn't know the answer. Because the past was boring and things from the past are boring too.
4) To be fair, our answer of "Geryon" was damn close. Geryon was a giant with unusual body parts (varying according to account: one body and three heads - three bodies - six hands, six feet and wings) who looked after cattle. *Argus* on the other hand, was a giant with unusual body parts (too many eyes) who looks after a cow (Io, actually one of Zeus' many human lovers, transformed). So if anything, our answer was actually *better* because it involved more cows.
5) Plath is an embarrassing hole in our knowledge, tbf. Although that said, we basically know bum all about poets in general. Irrespective, sorry Sylvia. :(
6) Fish are friends, not food.
7) I barely contributed to our answer of 800 (basically out by a factor of 2... which is arguably non-terrible) other than saying "I think it's a long way". Anyway, it is legit a long way, so there is that.
8) At the last minute, one of us remembered that Jude Law was a dude from this film. Unfortunately he's the wrong dude. Stephen Fry is in it too, if you like that kind of thing.
9) Haha, Ellen Burstyn. If she's "burstin" then she should go to the loo!!!! (I have not seen this movie).
