Honolulu, Indianapolis, Oklahoma City; DOH! So close (i think).
This one bums me out! I’ve been scouring my brain for that elusive forth, but alas, It seems I’ve only retained about 70% of the state capitols.
“… play makes Jack a dull boy.” From The Shining.
Damn, I just can’t remember the name of the Hotel. And I just re-watched the film about 3 months ago!
Correct. Four points for me.
Name seven varieties (or cultivars) of apples.
Two points for all seven, One point for six, -2 for five or less. (sounds fair?)
Wait, are you sure you’re tallying that right? It seems you asked 3 questions… what are the names of the 2 moves and what did the license plate read. If I was right about one of the movies, that counts, but I couldn’t guess the other movie (unless it was simply Part II), nor the plate. So that subtracts.
Dang, ok…
Grannysmith
Golden Delicious
Macintosh
Crab, Caramel, and iMac 
Damn, I need to eat more fruit.
Let’s try some Natural Science
Diff:3 - What is species of marine mammal that recently was declared functionally extinct?
Diff:2 - What is the largest land-based carnivore in the world?
Diff:1 - What is the current geological era called?
Diff:1 - When (as in millions of years ago) did this geological era start?
The judges have ruled, the score has been adjusted, SSG Schwartz has 1 point.
I will therefore change topics:
American TV series:
What radio station employed Dr Johnny Fever?
(one point)
What did the M stand for in MAS*H?
(one point)
What was the name of the title character who came from outer space to live in Boulder Colorado?
(one point)
SSG Schwartz
Dover (Delaware). Took me a while.
-
wow. I hope it wasn’t one of the big ones, but either way it sucks. I’ll guess the Humpback Whale.
-
lion?
-
oof! Something that starts with a C? I tried to memorize this a while ago, but it completly escapes me. Yeh, it’s gone fer good.
-
1.5? (WAG)
Hmmm… looks like you’re going television… maybe slightly before my time 
-
WKRP?
-
It could be Military or Medical (or neither for all I know). But I’ll go with Medical?
-
Alf?
GAH! See, I couldn’t remember Deleware’s. (Sorry, Delewarians!)
Well, you got 3. Some others are:
[ul]
[li]Red Delicious[/li][li]Fuji[/li][li]Cameo[/li][li]Gala[/li][li]Honeycrisp[/li][li]Cortland[/li][li]and many others [/li][/ul]
So that puts me at Two
Name the two moons of Mars.
Two points
Aww, geez, I thought the last 3 would be fairly easy. I’m going nowhere fast.
-
The Baiji or Yangtze River Dolphin, it was in all the news and spurred several threads here since December when it was first announced.
-
Polar or Kodiak Bear
-
Cenozoic. I don’t suppose I could get a 0.05 points for you knowing it started with a “C”?
-
about 65 million years ago, about when the dinosaurs died because of that big extinction level event that occurred.
So I’m at -7, well, I think I am the worst so far and in one post, too. Yay me!
Ahh, Phobos & Deimos.
Damn!! I just couldn’t get my mind off the big cats. And, I didn’t realize that an era revolved around a major extinction event… or is there more to it than that? If I’d known that, I could’ve made a better guess (and probably got it, too!)
Keep going, you can come back!
Okay, how about we combine the Natural Science with Movies?
Diff: 1 - Name the trilogy of movies named after a period of the Mesozoic era.
Diff: 2 - Name two actors that appeared in at least two of those movies.
Four!
This brings up a golf question… 3 points, since you say you are not knowledgable with sports.
What US state is home to the famous Floating Green?
HA! Funny.
-
Jurassic Park, Lost World, Jurassic Park III.
-
Jeff Goldblum & Sam Neil.
Lightly, I said… tread LIGHTLY!
Umm… does this bring up golf because your last answer had to do with space, or because you just shouted “Four!”?
Cape Canaveral is in Florida, so I’ll go with FL.
I know I already struck out (heh) on baseball, but I’ll give it another shot:
Which three players (in order from 1 to 3) own the three highest career home run totals? (2)
And, not baseball:
What is Hawking radiation? (3)
