1. What kind of sporting event is divided into chukkas?
One with which I’m not familiar, it seems. Not that that narrows it down much.
2. What president was married to a First Lady whose first name was Eleanor?
Guess: it’s not Franklin Roosevelt! Second guess: Woodrow Wilson.
3. Who wrote sonnets called “La primavera,” “L’estate,” “L’autunno,” and “L’inverno” to be read with the movements of his most famous work?
Dante … ?
4. What’s the name of Audrey Hepburn’s cat in Breakfast at Tiffany’s?
Can’t remember offhand. If I think of it, I’ll edit it in.
5. The U.S.’s center of population was in eastern Maryland at the time of the first census, but it’s since moved six states westward. What state is it in today?
I’m pretty sure it’s Missouri.
6. What two cast members of TV’s The West Wing were real-life brothers-in-law?
Ann, my West Wing-loving friend, might know this one. I don’t.
7. What unusual distinction is shared by these musical acts? The Clash, the Early November, George Harrison, the Magnetic Fields, Prince, Frank Sinatra, Smashing Pumpkins, and Frank Zappa.
Oooh ! Oooh! A question 7 I probably know without Googling. They all released triple albums — at least, I know it’s true of the Clash (Sandinista!), George Harrison (All Things Must Pass), the Magnetic Fields (69 Love Songs), and Prince (Emancipation, I think).
The idea is to guess without Googling? I bet #3 is Vivaldi.
It’s definitely supposed to be brain power only, though if my site stats are any indication, people use the Google. I figured out the Eleanor question (my guess was wrong, though I was right about it not being FDR) with Wiki, for example.
Vivaldi makes a lot more sense than my guess.
