Am I really the only person who named Don Giovanni as an opera? I always do that, 7-8 good answers and then one clunker that drives my whole score down. I figured a lot of people would name Amadeus as their movie and that would then trigger them to remember Don Giovanni as the opera. At least I didn’t answer with Kill the Wabbit. ---

He’s not, actually. IIRC, **Delores Reborn** only qualifies the first fifty. I’m #50, and Mr. **Dice** is #53. Pretty sure my placement is going to reflect my order of posting. ---

And we have a tie! The winners are **labtrash** and **swampbear**! Good job! They both got all top ten answers. Magnifique! Frankly I’m surprised there weren’t more ties for first. And I can’t believe we had no true conchs! Thanks for playing everyone! Thank you, **Ellen**! I’m gonna have to come up with a stumper for **Swampy**. Hmmm… perhaps indigenous frogs of South America or something obscure like that? He probably minored in that in college. 😃 \*\*1. labtrash 702.00 1. swampbear 702.00 \*\* 2. Sternvogel 698.00 3.

Dang, how can Beethoven’s 5th be the number one answer, And Beethoven’s 9th, be the #2 answer, and Mozart be the #1 Composer. He did not even get an honorable mention in the symphony question. I guess I do well in themes in which I have limited knowledge. I was number one in the soccer feud. pssst… Rebo, Swampy knows all about frog, Frogs live in SWAMPS. Try to make a feud about camels. ---

He did not even get an honorable mention in the symphony question. I was torn between the 5th and the 9th (both of which are far more famous than any particular symphony that Mozart—or probably anyone else—wrote), but I went with #9 because I seemed to remember it being the most common answer in the recent “what’s your favorite Beethoven symphony?” thread. I think the popularity of _Amadeus_ (see question #6) had something to do with why Mozart is the first classical composer many people think of. ---

I’m surprised Tosca didn’t get any votes but mine. It’s been featured in two recent movies: _Quantum of Solace_ and _Milk_.
