I know, I know, you know nothing about this and how is anyone supposed to know every major goddess over 29K feet in every pantheon ...

The best thing that Neil Armstrong ever did, was to let us all imagine we were him.

Girl drawn into a cult + 1969 California = Charles Manson.TenPoundHammer wrote:WLT Manson, Gloria Estefan, or war in the top box?
Conga line suggests Latin music. That, plus the musician being named "Gloria", strongly points to Gloria Estefan.
The clue mentioned the Japanese constitution is from 1947. That's two years after Japan lost WWII, a war in which Japan was an aggressor. As a result of the post-war constitution, Japan is prohibited from having anything other than a defensive military force, a fact I've seen mentioned in the news media from time to time.

Exactly my thinking when I got it wrong. Well, then I looked up the height of K2.This Is Kirk! wrote:Imagine someone also thought K2 was above 29,000 feet and thus got it wrong. Big whoop. The players aren't really expected to get every single answer correct. Sometime you take an educated guess knowing it could be wrong. That's kinda how the game works.

Challenger Deep is part of the Mariana Trench and the deepest point in any of the Earth's oceans. So, while it is YEKIOYD, they're essentially asking for something akin to what continent is Mount Everest on.TenPoundHammer wrote:WLT Pacific at $200? Challenger Deep could be in any ocean. That whole category was YEKIOYD.
Chiang Kai-Shek was the leader of the Republic of China when it was expelled from mainland China by the Communists. The Republic of China still controls Taiwan. The capital of Taiwan/the Republic of China is Taipei.Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall: this capital
Goya was a Spanish painter. The Prado is Spain's national art museum, essentially their equivalent of the Louvre in France or the National Gallery of Art in the US.Goya's "The Third of May 1808": this museum
With the occasional exception, "casino" will point toward Las Vegas, and the MGM Grand is a pretty prominent one there. Las Vegas is in Clark County, Nevada. So, yeah, YEKIOYD, but hopefully now you will know it.The MGM Grand Hotel & Casino: this county

The "Hawley-Smoot Rule" is a bit of a forum running gag. I've mentioned that the more fun a name is to say, the more likely I am to remember it. I use THE HAWLEY-SMOOT TARIFF as an example, due to it being so prominent in Dave Barry Slept Here. So funny words like "gerrymander" or "Leon Czolgosz" or "Mark Zuckerberg" or "Hoda Kotb" or "Ratatouille" tend to stick in my head far more commonly than "Adam Smith" or "Howard Carter" or "Henry Hudson".JemRiffster wrote:What?
