Name Seven: The Game

The Game Room

It’s simple. You have to name seven, without using Google or any other reference work of any kind. And it’s best if you do it in 60 seconds. Go ahead and cheat if you want but you’ll know in your heart you’re a cheating bastard.

Add more questions as you see fit.

  1. Name seven novels you have read that would be likely to be used as subject matter in a high school English course.

  2. Name seven Vice Presidents of the United States, not counting the last three.

  3. Name seven players who have played for the Dallas Cowboys.

  4. Not counting the title theme, name seven songs that have been performed on “Family Guy.”

  5. Name seven films prior to 1990 that won the Academy Award for Best Picture.

  6. Name seven completely different kinds of home computer that have existed (all PCs are one kind; you gotta think of six others!)

  7. Name seven brands of shampoo.
