DON'T Stump the Guy with Average Knowledge, Part II

HA! Yeh, you guys are on your own on this one :smiley:

Yuppers!

So I’m back in the green with 2 points.
I’m afraid I’ve got to get going - so I’m going to sit on my laurels for now. Maybe we will play later, when my insomnia wakes me up again. (If you’re still here)
ETA: Gorilla Man, you’ve got me stumped. Badly.

So I am back to 0. I will try to raise my score with these:

Name two Spielberg movies that focused on extra-terrestrials.
(one point each)
Name two Spielberg movies that were set in WWII.
(Also one point each)

I am going for an easy printing question for my first, but I will twist it up with some math to make it interesting for you.

How many picas are in a mile?
Difficulty: 1

I can say with confidence that they all died in 19xx.

I know a lot of composers’ death years, but you managed to find five I don’t remember (I’m pretty sure Gershwin died in the '30s).

E.T.
Close Encounters of the Third Kind
(and just for fun: War of the Worlds)

Schindler’s List
Saving Private Ryan
(and just for fun: Raider’s of the Lost Ark, The Last Crusade, and 1941)

No questions right now (I’m distracted by baseball), but I am curious as to what this meant. I’m just a bit confused.

I think he mixed up the SCJ and the opera questions. “I don’t like (opera) as much as you do. Sorry.”

let’s see…

6 picas in an inch

x

12 inches in a foot

x

5280 feet

=

380,160 picas.

Cute, real cute. :wink: (you’re lucky i knew how many feet in a mile!)

Ahhh, I was too choosy, maybe, lets eliminate Gershwin and Holst. Hint: it’s now a decade apiece!

Ha, I’m sorry… I was merely saying I don’t like not knowing the answers as much as you don’t like me not knowing the answers, because we both lose. Obtuse, I know. :smack:

Clearly you do not live in Denver…
That puts me at One!

Geography, for 2 points…
Name the five oceans of the world

I was parsing that completely differently. I thought you thought that I liked the Supreme Court or something. Thanks for clearing that up.

Ahhh… We have the Atlantic; Pacific; Arctic; Indian; and the Antarctic or Southern?

Woo! Hoo! That is 4 points for me. I have found my category.
Next questions:
Two movies featured a truck driver, a black Trans-Am, and a Texas Sheriff. Name them. (One point each)
What was the license plate on the Trans-Am?
(Two Points)

SSG Schwartz

Ah hah! Not so fast!

No idea, but it sounds Burt Reynolds-y. I’ll guess Smokey and the Bandit. However I’ve never seen it. So, if it’s correct, I can’t answer the license plate question.

Ah, Yes! You are correct. Three points
I was floored when I found out there was a fifth ocean. Rocked my world.
What movie brought us the quote “What we have here is a failure to communicate?”
Probably should be a 1 pointer.

What four capitals start with the same letter as their states? (2)

Well hey, isn’t it really just one big ocean?

Whew! I almost didn’t get this. For some reason Butch Cassidy kept coming to mind, but i KNEW that wasn’t right… so I let it stew, then Cool Hand Luke finally popped out.

Damn, that was close. Now I got that Guns 'n Roses song in my head.

Well, that puts me at 5 points… I will stay with the win streak.

Movies:
According to a hotel caretaker in film, “All work and no…” finish the quote.
(One point)
What was the name of the hotel in this film?
(Two points)
