Name Ten Trivia Contest: Round One

Post by harrumph »

One point for each correct answer. You are limited to ten responses per question, unless the question stipulates a different number (a few of the categories vary from the "name ten" format). For questions with bonus points, you will receive ten points for your first ten correct responses but no bonus points if any of your subsequent responses is incorrect.

We will follow the code of the honor system with your answers coming from your own deliberation and not from research. Take as long as you need to submit. You can enter at any time during the contest and catch up. Your answers must be hidden within spoiler tags. Answers will be posted in a separate discussion thread.

Round 1

Name ten US vice presidents who served in the 19th century (excluding those who became president upon the death of the sitting president).

Name the ten longest rivers in the world.

Name ten lineages of bipedal hominids.

Name ten Olympic gold medal winners in the field of gymnastics (female or male, including team medals).

Name the ten Academy Award winners for best picture from the 1970s.

You've started with a couple of my areas of specialty -- and a few where I’m not so special. For example, I’m not up on my binomial nomenclature or evolutionary theory, and I tend to confuse my vice presidents with the lesser apes. But since you didn’t say we’ll be penalized for guessing, I’m going to throw ten items out there where I can and hope to pick up a few points.

Name ten US vice presidents who served in the 19th century (excluding those who became president upon the death of the sitting president).
Jefferson, Burr, Clinton, Calhoun, Hamlin, Tompkins, Gerry, Van Buren, Fillmore, Stevenson

Name the ten longest rivers in the world.
Nile, Amazon, Mississippi-Missouri, Yangtze, Congo, Yellow, Mackenzie, Mekong, Volga, Niger

Name ten lineages of bipedal hominids.
Homo sapiens, Homo erectus, Homo habilis, Neanderthal, Australopithecus, Cro magnon, gorillas, orangutans, chimpanzees, gibbons

Name ten Olympic gold medal winners in the field of gymnastics (female or male, including team medals).
Nadia Comaneci, Mary Lou Retton, Olga Korbut, Aly Raisman, Dominique Dawes, Simone Biles, Nastia Liukin, Kerri Strug, Domonique Moceanu, Shannon Miller, Laurie Hernandez

Name the ten Academy Award winners for best picture from the 1970s.
Patton, The French Connection, The Godfather, The Sting, The Godfather Part II, One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Rocky, Annie Hall, The Deer Hunter, Kramer vs. Kramer
