Bricker Challenge 2005, Edition # 4

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

Following, please find the questions for the Bricker Challenge 2005, Edition # 4.

Please note that the prize for this contest is a $25 Amazon gift certificate.

The rules, as always, are simple: I have posted a list of … stuff. You, the contest participant, must identify each item and/or answer each question. For example, if one item were: “Is the quality of mercy strained?” you might answer, “No. It falleth as gentle rains from the heavens,” which would show you recognize the classic speech from Portia in Shakespeare’s Merchant of Venice. You should also add that the speech came from Portia in Shakespeare’s Merchant of Venice, just to be safe.

“What is NaCl?” Your answer might be, “The chemical symbols for sodium chloride, common table salt.”

An answer that shows you get the reference is fine, as long as it explains every element in the question. If it’s a joke, explain the joke. Leave no stone unturned. Be the party know-it-all that explains why the malaprop is funny, and what the speaker MEANT to say. Some questions may contain deliberate errors of spelling, or of meaning. Correct the misapprehension or the mistake. “What’s that movie where Shelley Duvall says ‘I love the smell of napalm in the morning?’” needs to be answered with “Apocalypse Now” but ALSO a note that the actor was Robert Duvall, not Shelley Duvall.

I’m phrasing some questions ambiguously in an effort to cut down on the help that search engines can provide, although there’s no getting around it … many will be answerable by search engine anyway. There is no rule against using search engines (or any other reference) although I would appreciate if, just for curiosity’s sake, you note that you got the answer by search engine as opposed to simply knowing it.

I am awarding a $25 gift certificate from Amazon.com as the prize to the winner.

The winner is the person that answers the most questions correctly by post here dated on or before Sunday, October 23rd, at 11:00 PM EST, or the first person to answer all questions correctly before that time. I reserve the right to substitute another prize of comparable value for any reason. My decisions are final as to the accuracy of all answers. I may, or may not, provide intermediate feedback as to the number of correct answers each entrant has, but if I make any errors in doing so, it’s your tough luck. I won’t score posts with less than ten correct answers. Only the single post with the most correct answers by the deadline qualifies you as a winner. In the unlikely event of a tie, which would occur if two or more posts have the same date/time stamp and both have the highest number of correct answers, the prize will be split amongst each tied contestant.

The next post has the questions. Good luck!

  25. Bellamira and Pilia-Borza just wanted the gold. Abigail lied about her conversion the first time, but not the second. And Barbaras lives happily ever after. Right?

  26. Diabetes is diabetes. Enough of this type one and type two business; it’s all the same thing.

  30. Natural ones have octahedral crystals, and synthetic ones have at least some cubic sectors visible during fluorescence.

  33. Classic love triangle: Esmeralda loves Phoebus, and Phoebus loves Frollo, and Frollo loves Esmeralda. No, that won’t end badly.

  39. I don’t know what it has to do with hairy limes, but this movie has a famous speech atop a Ferris wheel, in which the bad guy claims the greatness of the Renaissance was the result of Italy’s war experience and the Swiss, in contrast, have produced nothing greater than a cuckoo clock.

  40. Evaluate the product of (3+4i) and (2+i), where i is the imaginary number.

3

Wouldn’t this work better if the answers were e-mailed to you?

4

Good question.

But no. The interesting strategy element of this game is how soon to post your answers. Too soon, and you risk someone else stealing them and getting fifty first. Too late, and you risk no one getting all fifty and your forty-six correct being posted ahead of you. It also allows you to spoof a wrong answer in the hopes that others will follow your lead, lemming-like, and then swoop in at the last minute with the right answer, too late for others to correct.

And it allows interaction - of a sort - between the game participants, which makes it appropriate for a message board thread in the first place.

That’s all the theory, anyway. In point of fact, the cooperation between players is often more collegial than competitive. Last Challenge I upped the prize to $100 to see if that created any more cutthroat behavior, but it really didn’t. And Mrs. Bricker won’t let me do anything more dramatic than that.

5

Ah. I see.

In that case, the answer to #6 is Dumas, dumbass. :wink:

6

Well, looking at that list I certainly do suddenly feel like a dumbass.

Anyways, I can partly help with item 4. Sorghum definitely looks like the odd one out. The others are desserts. Sorghum, well, is sorghum. Ewwww…

No. 24: It’s a wordplay on the song that has the lines “You picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille. Four hungry children and a crop in the field.”

Don’t know the name of the song though. Could be ‘Lucille’.

9

Well, to get folks started:

  1. Bukkake is Japanese porn where the female gets ejaculated upon by a number of men

  2. Grey Goose is a vodka. The Spruce Goose was Howard Hughes’ airplane.

Sherbert: Also exactly like sorbert, but may contain cream or gelatin.
Ice cream: Frozen cream with flavorings, such as vanilla or chocolate. It must contain a dairy (cream or milk), as oppossed to sorbert and sherbert, which are primarily fruit juice based. It also has air whipepd into it.
Sorghum: A cultivated grass often made into a syrup, or the syrup made from the grass. It does not belong as it is not a frozen dessert.

“The Three Musketeers” is a novel writetn by Alexander Dumas.

Raid is both a trademark name for a brand of pesticide, as well as a way of managing hard drives in PCs (which is an acronym for Redundant Array if Inexpensive Discs.). There are several levels of RAID arrays, designed to make multiple discs act as one, mirrir one disc onto another as backup, or a combonation of the two.

Bukkake is a type of porn where many men ejaculate onto a woman’s face. It also the name fo the action of doing so. The word is Japanese in origin and refers to a method of preparing noodles.

Mike Tyson is a boxer, and punching down refers to hitting the other boxer. To a baked, however, it refers to pushinmg down on bread dough after it has had it’s first rise from the yeast producing CO2.

You’re “pinging”

A long island iced tea is al alcoholiv beverage made with several liquors, and as such will get you drunk fast if many are comsumed. A lolota refers to a female under the age of consent that stimulates sexual feelnigs in an older male, were he to act on those feelings, he might get asrrested. The term comes from a novel by Vladimir Nabokov.

Grey Goose is an expensive brand of vodka, the Spruce Goose was a wooden plane designed by Hopward Hughes.

Au contraire. In type I, the body cannot produce insulin, which is needed to process glucose. In type II, the body is resistant to the effects of insulin. If you trated type Ii diabetes as if it were type I, you’d be in a whole heap o’ trouble.

  1. http://www.comix-index.de/Bilder/beware1.JPG

  2. Should be West, although a cartographical error in one of the books has caused some confusion. Em City is also surrounded by Wilkie Country, Gillikin Country, and Quadling Country

  3. In Scott Corbett’s Trick books for kids, Kerby uses Mrs. Graymalkin’s old magic chemistry set for wonderful results, such as a hockey stick that always scores and lemonade that makes a bully nice, but because the set is so old, sometimes results are unpredictable.

  4. Because it’s French, Alexandre Dumas’ name isn’t pronounced phonetically in English, but rather “Doo-mah.”

  5. silenus tells me that Bukkake is Japanese porn where the female gets ejaculated upon by a number of men. Uh, wouldn’t know.

  6. To a baker, punching down is what you do to dough after it rises the first time to get rid of some of the trapped air. For boxer Tyson, it’s what he wants to do to his opponents in the ring. At least the ones that don’t taste good.

  7. Handshaking

  8. The Long Island Ice Tea is a very alcoholic drink that doesn’t taste of alcohol, so it’s easy to get drunker than you think. The Long Island Lolita was teenager Amy Fisher, who shot her married boyfriend’s wife, Mary Jo Buttafuco.

  9. Grey Goose is a vodka; the Spruce Goose was Howard Hughes’ famous “flying boat.” But you shouldn’t order a martini made with either, because vodka martinis taste like Liquid Plumber.

  10. A pun on the Kenny Rodgers song “Lucille”: “You Picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille.” The joke was used last season on Arrested Development.

  11. Saffron (Christina Hendricks) pretended to be the wife of a surprised Captain Malcolm Reynolds in an episode of Firefly. Mal tried not to take advantage of her, and he managed to hold out for much longer than anyone should have expected. But ultimately he failed, because she was all naked, and articulate.

  12. It’s an antibiotic they gave to folks who were exposed to anthrax.

  13. There were probably other Europeans to see Niagara Falls before Fr. louis Hennepin, but he’s the first confirmed because he wrote about it.

  14. It’s fictional. Ferris is a character in Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged.

  15. Her bangle bracelets.

  16. Harry Lime (Orson Welles) makes this observation in the film “The Third Man.”

  17. 2 + 11i

  18. To “anger” chocolate is to melt it over low heat in order to return it to suspension. The word is French, though, and isn’t pronouced like the English word “anger.”

  19. Herbert Hoover left behind a grateful nation.

  20. Fred Thompson (R-TN), who started appearing on Law & Order.

19

Punch and Judy shows?

North. The land of the winkie-dinkies, or something.

No clue in the world.

Ice cream has dairy. Sorghum is a grain.

64 pi - 25.132 = 175.929

Dumas, not dumb ass.

Redundant Array of Independent Disks. Used in fault tolerance on servers.

You don’t know that? You must be shitting (on) me.

Completely stumped.

One makes dough by punching down, the other punches dough down.

What Plantagenet are you from?

Do you remember why?

It’s a Simpsons quote, but I don’t know it.

Immaculate Conception, Christmas, January 1, Ascension Thursday, Feast of the Assumption (my wife’s birthday - she narrowly escaped being named Assumpta), All Saints Day.

Long Island Tea is a strong drink. Amy Fischer is even worse.

248 positive, 365 negative.

Try the Spruce Goose, and you will really be flying. Wood you not agree, Mr. Hughes? :smiley:

Because I’ve got four hungry children, and a crop in the field.

Anthrax.

Zero?

In a bad Disney animated film, for example. Although you might make some money from the merchandising rights for one of the spin-offs - The Lunch Box of Notre Dame.

Cecil is twenty.

The Third Man.

Phosphorescence.

Fred Thompson.

  2. Should be West, although a cartographical error in one of the books has caused some confusion. Em City is also surrounded by Wilkie Country, Gillikin Country, and Quadling Country

  3. In Scott Corbett’s Trick books for kids, Kerby uses Mrs. Graymalkin’s old magic chemistry set for wonderful results, such as a hockey stick that always scores and lemonade that makes a bully nice, but because the set is so old, sometimes results are unpredictable.

  4. Because it’s French, Alexandre Dumas’ name isn’t pronounced phonetically in English, but rather “Doo-mah.”

  5. silenus tells me that Bukkake is Japanese porn where the female gets ejaculated upon by a number of men. Uh, wouldn’t know.

  6. To a baker, punching down is what you do to dough after it rises the first time to get rid of some of the trapped air. For boxer Tyson, it’s what he wants to do to his opponents in the ring. At least the ones that don’t taste good.

  7. Handshaking

  8. The Long Island Ice Tea is a very alcoholic drink that doesn’t taste of alcohol, so it’s easy to get drunker than you think. The Long Island Lolita was teenager Amy Fisher, who shot her married boyfriend’s wife, Mary Jo Buttafuco.

  9. Grey Goose is a vodka; the Spruce Goose was Howard Hughes’ famous “flying boat.” But you shouldn’t order a martini made with either, because vodka martinis taste like Liquid Plumber.

  10. A pun on the Kenny Rodgers song “Lucille”: “You Picked a fine time to leave me, Lucille.” The joke was used last season on Arrested Development.

  11. Saffron (Christina Hendricks) pretended to be the wife of a surprised Captain Malcolm Reynolds in an episode of Firefly. Mal tried not to take advantage of her, and he managed to hold out for much longer than anyone should have expected. But ultimately he failed, because she was all naked, and articulate.

  12. It’s an antibiotic they gave to folks who were exposed to anthrax.

31. Zero.

  1. There were probably other Europeans to see Niagara Falls before Fr. louis Hennepin, but he’s the first confirmed because he wrote about it.

34. Cecil is 20.

  1. It’s fictional. Ferris is a character in Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged.

  2. Her bangle bracelets.

  3. Harry Lime (Orson Welles) makes this observation in the film “The Third Man.”

  4. 2 + 11i

  5. To “anger” chocolate is to melt it over low heat in order to return it to suspension. The word is French, though, and isn’t pronouced like the English word “anger.”

  6. Herbert Hoover left behind a grateful nation.

  7. Fred Thompson (R-TN), who started appearing on Law & Order.
