Whoo, I think I got 40 (assuming they accept “cobras” for snakes, and don’t count the fact that I misspelled “Santa Anna” against me). I feel better now
Mumbai (Bombay) Got it, mostly a guess though, knew it was either Mumbai or Dehli
Queen Victoria Got it
Letters (possibly documents, too) Said episodes, stupid…knew the general concept and couldn’t find the words
The chorus Knew this but didn’t get it typed in time
Shell Said Exxon, no idea why the Shell hints didn’t register.
swan Missed this, I’m dumb, this was an easy one
snakes Got it
direct current Got it
eagle (maybe ‘two-under-par’, but I doubt it) Got it
California Got it
U.S.S. Arizona Got it, almost said Utah since the 1989 date seemed too late
The Brandeburg Concertos No clue
“America the Beautiful” Said Star-Spangled Banner, though maybe it was in one of the never-heard verses. Though American the Beautiful was more modern than that.
Lindsay Lohan Got it
vanity Knew I’d slap myself when I heard this, shit.
Copernicus Said Galileo, knew it was wrong, but couldn’t think of Copernicus fast enough.
Pope John Paul II (Karol Józef Wojtyła) Said Pope John Paul, not sure if they’ll give it to me without the "2"
“The Jungle” I knew it and couldn’t spit it out, said Slaughterhouse in desperation
van Gogh Guessed Picasso, just a stab in the dark
Lake Baikal No clue
Firefox Got it, was using it to play!
“Love” Guessed “Sleep”, Love would have been my other guess. Damn
Spain Guessed Russia, wrong
basalt Put in Bituminous, not sure why I was able to come up with that and not the right one.
buttress Got it
summa c-u-m laude (darn censorbot) Got it, but I think I hit the submit too late
“Trees” Guessed “Loves”, had no idea, should have used it earlier!
“Cheers” Got it
centimeters Got it
John Coltrane No clue
Henry Fielding No clue, fucking literature!
James Monroe Got it
Bill Richardson Said McCain. :smack:
Boston Got it
Ernest Hemmingway No clue

horsepower Got it
Alabama WAGed Utah

purl
**Guessed “Stitch”, even Googling didn’t turn up and answer on this one. **
Radiohead Misread the question, thought they were asking for the name of the name-your-own-price system.
SOOOOO Frustrating!
It’s a cobra. I remember that clearly - in the cartoon they had hoods.
I went for baby bump instead of fist bump and I totally misread the Astronomer clue (I thought they were looking for “model of what” rather than “which scientist”) And I partially misread the browser clue (year matters).
I took the online test on January 30 last year, got an email on April 25 inviting me to Chicago to audition on June 4, attended that audtion and got a phone call on Dec 12 asking if I wanted to come out to LA and film the show on Jan 27 - 28 '09 … silly question, is there any other answer than YES, PLEASE?
After the past year, what idiot doesn’t know Lindsay Lohan? This one, that’s who. I sat here, going “L…L…L…darn!”
I think I missed 13. Pretty much, the ones I knew, I knew, and the ones I didn’t I really didn’t. Completely missed the ‘B’ in the Geology one, but I wouldn’t have known it anyway, so I don’t feel too bad.
Although, I could see Bill Richardson standing on the platform with Barack Obama, while they talked about his beard. Just couldn’t get the name.
And I missed the clues in the two where they were pretty blatant. I knew they should mean something in the Shell one, but it just didn’t come to me. The “Some Like It Hot” fans in my family are going to be so upset with me.
ARGHHH brain cramp big time. I should have known at least 48. but just had a mind blank on some of the easiest.
Laertes father? total blank out.
AG? nope nothing.
I must have throw any at least 8 easy ones including the times I was still trying to spell and never submitted as time ran out.
Wow, and just saw that my last-second wild-ass-guess O’Keefe was right… hm, maybe this wasn’t so bad. Hopefully someone will post them soon on the Jeopardy! board.
Eh, but I guess Macon is the “Heart of Georgia” not Athens…
