Ken Jennings Tuesday Trivia - April 22
THIS WEEK'S QUESTIONS
1. What's the more common name for the biblical practice of lapidation, experienced by Naboth in 1 Kings 21 and Stephen in Acts 6? lapidary - isn't that a term for a jeweller? But I do not know what that means in terms of a Biblical practice unless it means that they were be-jewelled or crowned.
2. Which historic county of England has a white rose on its flag? is white rose from the House of Lancaster --> Lancashire?
3. Because the Packers were playing the Steelers, Super Bowl XLV, in 2011, was the first Super Bowl in at least four decades not to feature what? a guess - a team from the original AFL. Super Bowl V featured the Cowboys and the Colts, neither of whom are original AFL teams.
4. There are two world heads of state who were also prime ministers of their respective countries before beginning their current term as president. Name either one. Vladimir Putin
5. A medical therapy called CPAP is used to help patients do what? CPAP is used by people with sleep apnea so it keeps them breathing while they sleep
6. The world's three largest luxury automakers are all headquartered in what country? I am going to say Germany. Thinking of Mercedes, BMW and Audi.
7. What unusual distinction is shared by these songs? "Long Black Veil" by The Band, "Golden Hours" by Brian Eno, "Grey Seal" by Elton John, "Little Green" by Joni Mitchell, "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain" by Willie Nelson, "White" by Frank Ocean, "Computer Blue" by Prince, "Orange Crush" by REM, "Pink Thing" by XTC, and (sort of) "Blackbird" by the Beatles. Although they all contain a color in the title, I think the unusual distinction is that they all appeared on albums with different colors in the titles. Music From Big Pink, Another Green World, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Blue, Red Headed Stranger, etc. Beatles is sort of because the official title of the album is The Beatles although everyone knows it as the White Album.
LAST WEEK'S ANSWERS
1. Behind-the-scenes drama on what TV hit has led to the exit of its first two showrunners, Frank Darabont and then Glen Mazzara? The Walking Dead has had more than its share of walking producers. correct
2. What does the 'I' stand for in IPA, a term used since 1829 to refer to a hoppy style of beer? IPA beers are "India Pale Ale." correct
3. What's the only continent without an active volcano? Australia hasn't had an eruption since Mt. Gambier, five hours southeast of Adelaide, blew its top about 4,500 years ago. correct
4. Between 330 and 323 BC, who was both king of Persia and Pharaoh of Egypt? He was also the ruler of Macedon and "King of Asia": Alexander the Great. Three continents, real triple threat. correct
5. What cause is represented by a popular bumper sticker symbol: two horizontal yellow rectangles placed one atop the other on a blue square background? That's the logo for the Human Rights Campaign, and symbolizes LGBT equality. I guess that yellow on red is for marriage equality and yellow on blue is for LGBT. Seems like there is some overlap between the two.
6. What tree's bark has been used as a pain reliever for thousands of years, because it contains salicin, a precursor to aspirin? Aspirin was derived from willow trees. I could not remember willow. This is a very good Jeopardy question. I need to know stuff like this.
7. What unusual distinction is shared by all these novels? Breakfast of Champions, Gossip Girl, Lolita, The Lovely Bones, Main Street, The Monkey's Raincoat, The Power and the Glory, Tintin in Tibet. Each has a character who shares his or her surname with a fish: Kilgore Trout, Chuck Bass, John Ray, Susie Salmon, Guy Pollock, Joe Pike, Mr. Tench, and Captain Haddock well at least I was correct on Q7

Ken Jennings Tuesday Trivia - April 8
THIS WEEK'S QUESTIONS
1. How many former or current First Ladies of the United States are still alive? Nancy Reagan, Barbara Bush, Hillary Clinton, Laura Bush, Michelle Obama. Is Rosalyn Carter with us? I'll say 6.
2. In physics, the first derivative of velocity is acceleration, while the second is called "jerk." The third, fourth, and fifth derivatives are sometimes nicknamed for what commercial mascots? Snap, Crackle and Pop. Why? Because this answer seems to be an appropriate fit after Jerk.
3. Jim Fixx died in 1984 while participating in what sport, which he helped popularize? running
4. Over 10 million people live in the the 27 percent of what country's land area that lies below sea level? My guess is Netherlands. Hence, the dikes.
5. Name any one of the three movies in which actress Julianne Moore co-starred with the late Philip Seymour Hoffman. The Big Lebowski. What are the other two? Magnolia and another Paul Thomas Anderson movie?
6. What office supply is referred to as a "trombone" in France? paper clip
7. What unusual distinction is shared by all these world leaders, past and present? Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Clement Attlee, Jacques Chirac, Georges Clemenceau, Grover Cleveland, Calvin Coolidge, Tayyip Erdogan, Ehud Olmert, Matteo Renzi, Nicolas Sarcozy. We discussed this after O'Briens pub quiz last week. Each was a mayor before becoming a country political leader.
LAST WEEK'S ANSWERS
1. From 1958 to 1962, and again from 1965 to 1967, the Nielsen ratings were led by what genre of TV series, which has never again topped the ratings in years since? This is the late, lamented Western. Gunsmoke, Wagon Train, and Bonanza were the ratings leaders those years. Though I was wrong, this is a really good question.
2. What distinctive-smelling chemical was named by the Romans because they first discovered it near a temple to an Egyptian sun-god? Ammonia, interestingly, was named for the Egyptian god Amon. This might be the iffiest use of the word "interestingly" in the history of the English language. Another good question. I picked up on the Roman part of the clue, not the Egyptian sun-god part of the clue.
3. What numeric name is sometimes used for the insult-trading game played in black communities since the early 20th century? These are "the dozens." If you didn't get this question, you so dumb that...uh, I can't think of anything. I'm really, really white you guys. never heard of this
4. What city currently has 14 Michelin three-star restaurants, even more than Paris? Michelin produced its first Tokyo guide in 2007, and food snobs were shocked when the Japanese capital was awarded three times as many stars as Paris. I was thinking London or Tokyo and went with the wrong answer
5. In 1953, who became the second and last woman ever executed by the U.S. federal government? RIP Ethel Rosenberg. Or not, if you prefer. I don't really want to get into that whole thing. correct
6. What L.A.-based rock band, together since 1992, is named for its frontman's childhood nickname, supposedly due to asthma? Weezer--though sources differ on whether Rivers Cuomo actually wheezed much as a kid or not. correct
7. What unusual distinction is shared by all these movies? Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever, Catwoman, Charlie's Angels, The Fall, Missing, Tim's Vermeer, Under the Cherry Moon, W.E. All these movies were credited to one-named directors: KAOS, Pitof, McG, Tarsem, Costa-Gavras, Teller, Prince, and Madonna. As you can tell, there's not a HUGE correlation between one-named director and movie quality. correct!

Ken Jennings Tuesday Trivia - April 1
KJ initially sent a set of questions that were all about My Little Pony. I did not think that he was a brony, but shortly thereafter he said "April Fools" and sent the questions below.
THIS WEEK'S QUESTIONS
1. From 1958 to 1962, and again from 1965 to 1967, the Nielsen ratings were led by what genre of TV series, which has never again topped the ratings in years since? soap opera? Peyton Place and then something else?
2. What distinctive-smelling chemical was named by the Romans because they first discovered it near a temple to an Egyptian sun-god? distinctive-smelling --> sulfur?
3. What numeric name is sometimes used for the insult-trading game played in black communities since the early 20th century? this question seems cryptic in the absence of any other information. Insult-trading game --> One Up?
4. What city currently has 14 Michelin three-star restaurants, even more than Paris? London?
5. In 1953, who became the second and last woman ever executed by the U.S. federal government? Ethel Rosenberg?
6. What L.A.-based rock band, together since 1992, is named for its frontman's childhood nickname, supposedly due to asthma? asthma is a key clue --> Weezer
7. What unusual distinction is shared by all these movies? Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever, Catwoman, Charlie's Angels, The Fall, Missing, Tim's Vermeer, Under the Cherry Moon, W.E. A review of the credits for these movies shows that each has a one-named director.
LAST WEEK'S ANSWERS
1. A bibliography lists books. An arachniography is a similar resource that lists what? Spiders are arachnids, so it's probably not too hard to see why a list of "web" resources would be called an arachniography. close though not exactly correct
2. What country observes National Sorry Day every May 26, to commemorate the mistreatment of its indigenous population that resulted in a "Stolen Generation" between 1909 and 1969? National Sorry Day is an Australian holiday. If you got this wrong, listen: I am so, so sorry. correct
3. The American sporting goods company that pioneered fiberglass skis in 1961 shares its name with what mountain? The ski company K2 Sports is named both for its founders, the Kirschner Brothers, and for the world's second tallest mountain. Which you should not try to ski down, by the way. correct
4. The firm of McKim, Mead & White, which counted the celebrated Stanford White as one of its partners, led the world at the turn of the 20th century in what field? They were architects. Stanford White designed the Washington Square Arch in New York City, and is mostly remembered today as the murder victim in the first great "Trial of the Century" in American history. correct
5. What, specifically, does an animal known as a "folivore" eat? Koalas, caterpillars, and giraffes are folivores. They eat leaves. not correct. Would kale-obsessed Angelenos be considered folivores too?

Al Arbour, Red Auerbach, Toe Blake, Scotty Bowman, Hap Day, Punch Imlach, Phil Jackson, John Kundla, Curly Lambeau, Vince Lombardi, John McCarthy, Casey Stengel, and Joe Torre. These are the only coaches/managers in the four major pro sports organizations who have led a team to a "three-peat"--that is, they won three or more championships in a row. Pat Riley worked so hard to make "three-peat" happen and he's not even on the list. :( correct. Pretty easy Q7 for me.
