TD 341 - The dirty dozen

[BobF]

The rules:

Usual rules. Except unilmited drops. First drop you get 0 points for. Any additional drop you get 12 points for.
Wrong answers are the higher of Sheep + 5 or 12 points. No penalty for incorrect guesses on bonus questions.
No sheep due to the unlimited drops. Entries technincally due Monday May 1, but I will accept until I begin the reveal the next day. Enter by way of PM.

The questions:

1. (Credit to Magna)
In the Hunger Games, Panem is divided into 12 districts with each district being numbered 1 through 12. Name one of the numbers.
No, just kidding, they each have a primary industry. Name the industry given the partial text below.

District 1: L****y
District 2: M*****y
District 3: T********y
District 4: F*****g (and yes, it is allowed to be used on a family friendly site like this)
District 5: P***r
District 6: T************n
District 7: L****r
District 8: T*****es
District 9: G***n
District 10: L*******k
District 11: A*********e
District 12: M****g

2. My favorite hockey team, the New Jersey Devils, moved from Colorado in the summer of 1982 where they had been known as the Rockies. Name any hockey team that relocated across state or provincial lines since January 1, 1982, either the old name or the new name. (13 possible answers)
Bonus for -1: What was the full name of the team that moved to Colorado to become the Rockies? (City and team name)

3. My favorite baseball team, the New York Mets, were the first champions of the National League East in 1969 and won the world series over the first ever American League East champion Baltimore Orioles.
Each division had 6 teams. Name a team from either the National League East or American League East AS THEY EXISTED IN 1969.
Bonus questions for -1 point each. Name the Western Division teams that lost the first ever League championship series.
Bonus for another -1. The last out of the 1969 World Series was made by an Oriole who would later become a prominent Met. Name him.
Bonus for another -1. One of these old AL East teams would later become the team owned by our 43rd president. Name that team as it was known in 1969.

4. The National Football League has swallowed up two rival leagues, one in 1970 when they added 10 American Football League teams and one in 1950 when they added two AAFC teams.
Name any of the 12 teams that became part of the NFL upon these mergers, using their names at the time of the merger (most have not changed).
(Basically nearly any non-expansion AFC team other than the first bonus question answer and the team I made an example of in the second bonus question)
Negbait warning/bonus question: One of the teams of the AAFC has the same name as an NFL expansion team from 1953, for a -1 bonus, name that team.
Additional bonus questions:
Our current president once owned a team in the United States Football League. For -1 point each:
Full name of that team (i.e. if it were the Pittsburgh Steelers, only Pittsburgh Steelers would be correct, not Steelers or Pittsburgh)
Name the Heisman Trophy winning running back he signed after that player's junior year in college.
How much money did The Donald win in his antitrust lawsuit against the NFL.

5. Name a month of the year using our traditional calendar

6. Name a digit in the base 12 numbering system
Clarification on this one since I just did some googling, I'm referring to the digits that you would use that would also represent the numbers 0 through 11 in the hexadecimal numbering system.

7. (Credit to immaf)
Give me the primary title of any of these 12 Gilbert and Sullivan operas given the initials of their primary title plus their subtitle.
HMS P, or, The Lass Who Loved a Sailor

8. Name one of the 13 tracks from the original release of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
Bonus for -1: Which of those songs was written by George Harrison?
Another bonus for -1: Which song was sung by Ringo?

9 through 11 are courtest of AFRET CMS who I thank for the questions and his service.

9. Name an apostle of Jesus Christ at the time that Judas Iscariot betrayed him (i.e. the replacement Apostle does not count)

10. Name one of the gifts given during the 12 days of Christmas (the number is not required).

11. Name one of the animals from the Chinese Zodiac.

12. Name one of the 12 independent countries located on the continent of South America. Panama is not included and island nations do not count. The nation's capital must also be in South America.

[BobF]

Bump and clarification. It was brought to my attention that one NHL team did cross state lines but stayed in the same metropolitan area and retained both its location and name (similar to the New York Giants moving from NYC to the Meadowlands). This is NOT an acceptable answer for this question, but luckily nobody has guessed it yet. If anybody does, I will give them a PM and an opportunity to change the answer. Well, if I'm going to do that, I'll just come out and say Washington Capitals do not count.

I don't see my name, yet my PMs say this was sent - did you get my entry?

[BobF]

Sorry, gamawire, fixed. And to clarify the South America question, let's add the stipulation that the nation's capital must also be in South America.

[BobF]

Bump. End of day today is *nominally* the last day to get it, but I'll keep accepting entries until I start the reveal. Heck with the drop rule, I can keep accepting entries until I finish the reveal. Will update entrant list later.

[Woof]

Bob, I sent my entry in on Wednesday, but I don't see my name on the list of entrants. I hope that this was just a simple oversight.

Me too. (I mean, I also sent my entry on Wednesday, but am not on the list of entrants. Although it *would* be fair to say that I hope you haven't overlooked Woof's entry.)

[mennoknight]

ditto on the no-entry list.

You seem to have forgotten The Grand Duke, or, The Statutory Duel. I'm guessing it went unused?

You seem to have forgotten The Grand Duke, or, The Statutory Duel. I'm guessing it went unused?

Yes, unused. Guess I started or ended my cut and paste in the wrong location.

[MattKnowles]

I wasn't listed on Question 7 - Gilbert & Sullivan.

I can't remember if I dropped it or if I guessed Pirates of Penzance.

[BobF]

I wasn't listed on Question 7 - Gilbert & Sullivan.

I had you as a drop.

You had me at hello.
