Ken Jennings Tuesday Trivia - December 27
THIS WEEK'S QUESTIONS
1. What's the American version of the 1997 Swedish TV hit Expedition Robinson called? sounds like Survivor
2. What type of dog, encompassing 28 different breeds, was so named because it was bred to burrow in the earth? Terrier (digging in the terroir)?
3. What length of time is the life of a current U.S. patent, as well as the span of a marriage celebrating the "china anniversary"? 17 years?
4. The Marco Polo Club is the appropriately named frequent-flyer program of what Hong Kong-based airline? Cathay Pacific
5. What 1969 musical title figure is told he's "really made the grade, and the papers want to know whose shirts you wear"? Tommy?
6. What modern-day nation was once ruled by Merovingians and Carolingians? Lots of guessing this week. France?
7. What unusual distinction is shared by all these entertaining people? Roy Acuff, Melvin Belli, Clark Gable, Benny Goodman, Michael Jackson, Steve McQueen, Roy Rogers, Mack Sennett? Q7 is easier than the other questions this week. They are all King of one thing or another. Country Music, Torts, Hollywood, Swing, Pop, Cool, the Cowboys, Comedy
LAST WEEK'S ANSWERS
1. What South African region takes its name from the fact that Vasco da Gama first sighted it on December 25, 1497? This is the province of Natal, whose name ("birth") is the Portuguese word for Christmas. correct
2. What traditional holiday item often includes a succade made of citron? "Succade" is candied fruit--citron peel is often used to make those suspiciously radioactive-looking yellow and red and green chunks in your fruitcake. I think that the next fruitcake I eat will be my first
3. In 1906, what American author wrote, "In a last word to the wise of these days let it be said that of all who give gifts these two were the wisest"? This is the penultimate line of "The Gift of the Magi," by O. Henry. correct
4. How many candles are there in a Kwanzaa kinara? Seven! Here's how to remember: "Kwanzaa" has one letter fewer than "Hanukkah." But then you half to remember how to spell Kwanzaa and Hanukkah without the extra 'C' and... can't really say much about this bit of arcana
5. Dr. Christmas Jones, a nuclear physicist who wears a D-cup, is a "Bond girl" from which 007 film? She was played by Denise Richards (a real life nuclear physicist!) in The World Is Not Enough. Yeah, I know, all those Brosnan ones run together for me too. a real life nuclear physicist? I don't think so. Not much of an actress either. This role won her the Razzie for Worst Supporting Actress.
6. In the Roman calendar, December 25 was Brumalia. What's the scientific name for the occasion marked by Brumalia? "Bruma" means "short," and Brumalia marked the shortest day of the year. We call it the winter solstice. (By "we" I mean owners of New Age bookstores.) correct
7. What unusual distinction is shared by these Christmas-y songs? "The Christmas Song," "I'll Be Home for Christmas," "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year," "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," "Silver Bells," "White Christmas" and, in part, "Sleigh Ride" and "Winter Wonderland"? These are all Christmas songs by Jewish composers! Gotta give the market what it wants, I guess. In the case of the last two, I was only able to confirm the Jewish-ness of one member of the two-man songwriting team. Christmas Time In Hell and Mr. Hankey The Christmas Poo were also written by a Jewish composer

THIS WEEK'S QUESTIONS

2. What traditional holiday item often includes a succade made of citron? tough questions this week. What is a succade? Citron is lemon. Not a hanukkah candle which are not scented.
3. In 1906, what American author wrote, "In a last word to the wise of these days let it be said that of all who give gifts these two were the wisest"? O Henry
4. How many candles are there in a Kwanzaa kinara? kinara like menorah? 8 candles unless you also count the shamus in which case 9.
5. Dr. Christmas Jones, a nuclear physicist who wears a D-cup, is a "Bond girl" from which 007 film? No idea, but I can guess. Probably one of the Bond movies with Dalton, Brosnon or Craig, none of which I have seen. Tomorrow Never Dies.
6. In the Roman calendar, December 25 was Brumalia. What's the scientific name for the occasion marked by Brumalia? Scientific name? solstice?
7. What unusual distinction is shared by these Christmas-y songs? "The Christmas Song," "I'll Be Home for Christmas," "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year," "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," "Silver Bells," "White Christmas" and, in part, "Sleigh Ride" and "Winter Wonderland"? "In part" is a good clue to start with. According to wikipedia, Sleigh Ride was started during a heat wave in 1946 then completed in February 1948. Written in summer?
LAST WEEK'S ANSWERS
1. British newspaper columnist Benjamin Mee wrote a 2008 book about his unusual experience in Dartmoor, England, where he bought what? He bought a zoo! The new Matt Damon movie is (loosely) based on his memoir. correct
2. Which U.S. state's quarter shows a map of a territory containing not just that state but also thirteen others? The Louisiana state quarter includes a map of the entire Louisiana Purchase. In hindsight, this question should have said "at least part of thirteen others," now that I think about it. We here at Tuesday Trivia regret the error. always so obvious after you know the answer
3. Which Olympic sport uses the smallest ball? Even when golf comes back to the Summer Olympics in 2016, table tennis will still have a smaller ball. correct
4. What band is releasing a new beer, an India pale ale called MMMhop? Hanson, of late-'90s "MMMBop" fame. Apparently the beer will have notes of caramel, light roast, and desperation. correct
5. It was proved in 1964 that 0, 1, and what other number are the only perfect squares in the Fibonacci sequence? You had to do quite a few additions before you got to the thirteenth Fibonacci number: 144. maybe as a memory exercise, I should memorize Fibonacci numbers. No sure I would get to #13 though.
6. Where do 4,000 tourists travel every year to see the 887 world-famous "moai"? The moai are the 20- to 30-ft. statues that allow Easter Island to sell lots more t-shirts and snow-globes than it would otherwise. correct
7. What unusual distinction is shared by all these works of art? Cassatt's Mother and Child, Degas's The Ballet Rehearsal, Manet's A Bar at the Folies-Bergere, Escher's Three Spheres, Fuseli's The Nightmare, Van Eyck's Arnolfini Wedding, Velazquez's Las Meninas, Vermeer's Woman with a Pearl Necklace. These classic works all feature a mirror--a topologically impossible one, in the case of the Manet painting. (We accepted "reflection" as well.) correct

2. Which U.S. state's quarter shows a map of a territory containing not just that state but also thirteen others? Delaware for 1st state?

LAST WEEK'S ANSWERS
1. HBO's In Treatment and Showtime's Homeland are both based on TV series from what foreign--but not European--country? Israel! Interestingly, Sha Na Na was also based on an Israeli TV hit, Rosh Sha Na Na. There, that is the worst joke in the history of Tuesday Trivia. KJ will have to atone for that joke

3. What war is referred to by its other participants as the "6/25 Upheaval," the "Fatherland Liberation War," and the "War to Resist U.S. Aggression"? That's what the Korean War is called in South Korea (it began on June 25, 1950), North Korea, and China, respectively. In the U.S., of course, it's called "That War from M*A*S*H." Korea was a police action, not a war
4. According to a once-popular myth, oysters could only be eaten in months containing what letter in their names? 'R', based on a mistaken belief that shellfish were poisonous during the summer. In fact, only spoiled-on-a-hot-day shellfish is poisonous, as you might have guessed. correct

To wit: the Mavericks, Thunder, Jets, Penguins, Eagles, Saints, Raiders, Orioles, Knickerbockers, and Angels. got it!

3. What war is referred to by its other participants as the "6/25 Upheaval," the "Fatherland Liberation War," and the "War to Resist U.S. Aggression"? "Participants" plural? The Iraq War started in March, not June. Resist US Aggression sounds Western Hemisphere-ish, like Cuba. Spanish-American War?

5. What river is dammed by the Hoover Dam? Colorado
6. What Broadway hit was named for a fanciful figure painted by Marc Chagall on a mural at the Moscow State Yiddish Theater in 1920? Fiddler on the Roof

All were recorded by bands whose names are sports nicknames - Eagles, Saints, Paul Revere and the Raiders, the Mavericks, etc.
LAST WEEK'S ANSWERS
1. What annual sports event is nicknamed "the Frozen Four"? The NCAA hockey championships. Get it? Like the Final Four? Only on ice? And no one ever watches or makes office brackets? correct
2. What is the national fruit of China, despite its close association in the West with a different nationality? The kiwifruit got its new name in the 1950s as a marketing gimmick. Before that, it was the "Chinese gooseberry." correct
3. Who was the first U.S. president voted for by women nationwide, leading critics of suffrage to claim that his good looks had won him the election? You know who's hot? Warren G. Harding. Coolidge, Harding - who can tell the difference?
4. What organization uses an E-meter in its auditing? Would you rather be audited by the IRS or the Church of Scientology? It's a tough call. correct
5. What Iberian dance, mentioned in a Queen song, also provided the original title for Maurice Ravel's Bolero? Scaramouche, Scaramouche, can you do the fandango? It's a dance about buying movie tickets on the Internet. correct
6. Besides white, what color is on every national flag of Central America? Most have red, but ALL have blue. I had a 50-50 shot at this and missed. MM22 knew it.
7. What unusual distinction is shared by all these actors? Roberto Benigni, Kate Capshaw, Johnny Depp, Hugh Grant, Anthony Hopkins, Christopher Lee, Rebecca Pidgeon, Meg Ryan. All have played booksellers in the movies! For completists, the films are Life Is Beautiful, The Love Letter, The Ninth Gate, Notting Hill, 84 Charing Cross Road, Hugo, State and Main, and You've Got Mail. Why are all these movies post-1985? Didn't movie bookstores exist before the mid-'80s? (Don't say Dorothy Malone in The Big Sleep. She didn't own the shop, she was just filling in. Ditto for Audrey Hepburn in Funny Face.) If Jennifer Aniston was on the list, I definitely would have guessed that they were waitresses. She has played a lot of them. But I don't know the booksellers very well.
