7.) Pyramid/Lucky Sevens
My state is one of the last to reopen, which has left me lots of time to watch game shows such as Match Game, The Chase and The Pyramid (among others). You need seven correct answers in a round of Pyramid to achieve a perfect score. Given some hints a Pyramid contestant might give,
identify one of these seven famous groups of sevens.
- Aventine Hill, Viminal Hill Seven Hills of Rome
- Colossus of Rhodes, Hanging Gardens of Babylon Seven Wonders of the World
- Asia, Africa, Antarctica Earth's Continents
- Lundi, Mardi, Mercredi Days of the Week (in French)
- Dopey, Doc, Bashful The Seven Dwarfs
- Pride, envy, sloth Seven Deadly Sins
- Skipper, Ginger, Mary Ann Seven Castaways of Gilligan's Island
Je ne parle pas Français… or Latin, apparently.

Here are questions about random things, or things that are sort of random.

- “Random Dancing” was a popular segment on this Nickelodeon sitcom starring Miranda Cosgrove and Jennette McCurdy iCarly
