Give this a shot, eh. "Movies with one-word titles". 30. 7 minutes. You get the last names of the director and a principal actor and the release year. I think that I spelled everything right. But a second pair of eyes will usually catch errors I missed. Might be a couple of tricky ones. Nothing obscure. I'd be surprised if there was anything there you didn't know.

No Googlipedia! Good luck: http://www.sporcle.com/games/Various_Pe ... ilm-titles" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

28/30

BTW, probably a typo, but the first clue has the year off by a decade.

It was a typo, yep. Thank you for catching that! All fixed up now.

That was a fun one. I got 21. Should have gotten a few more. Hell, I own one of the movies I missed (and I don't own that many movies).

I got 7 and a bonus. Better than I thought. That #3 answer is crazy.

Post by **brian** » Tue Dec 30, 2014 1:10 pm

I got 9 and the bonus. #3 was a lucky guess based on personal experience.

Most popular quiz right now. 20/20.

19/20. Didn't know what those things from Despicable Me (?) were called.

This is some bullshit. Also Tazmania and Tanzinia are not the same country and reading helps.

This is great. I've got 21 already, and 7 minutes left to ponder the other 19.

I got like 5 and got frustrated. I wish I had been warned.

That was actually really cool, and I haven't followed baseball for 20 years. I got 11, and around 7 or 8 correct answers I guessed in the wrong place and wasn't smart enough to think of again. A majority of the players were active at some point during my fandom.

govmentchedda · Post by **govmentchedda** » Tue Mar 10, 2015 10:13 am

Went back and got two more, then got frustrated and gave up. Looking at the ones I missed, I should've gotten at least 3-4 more.

Rex · Post by **Rex** » Tue Mar 10, 2015 10:52 am

That's a great puzzle, but you need a lot more than 18 minutes. I quit before they showed the answers so I could do it again.

Post by **Shirley** » Tue Mar 10, 2015 1:42 pm

I'm terrible at uniform numbers for any sport. I just so rarely pay attention. For some reason, I've just always gone by size/shape/position/etc of the player instead.

howard · Post by **howard** » Tue Mar 10, 2015 4:29 pm

Throughout childhood and teen years, knowing uniform numbers was part of being a fan and a point of pride. Now, I'm hard pressed to fill out the Giants scorecard at the end of a season of daily viewing. I'd need three guesses to tell you Panda's number.

I've watched pretty much every UVA basketball game for the past two years, but I don't think I could tell you any player's number. I might remember London Perrantes's, but only because I read about how he changed to 32 this year to honor Magic Johnson.

I made a quiz. Chedda messed it up because I guess he subscribes to me? I dunno. Anyway, just was rolling around in bed last night and this just wouldn't get out of my head.

Note: The number listed in the clue is the current record, not what the record was when the record was broken. There are decoy answers in there as well and you can only miss three times before YOU LOSE.

Ryan · Post by **Ryan** » Fri Aug 28, 2015 9:11 am

Didn't turn out like I hoped - with lots of road names that subtly hinted at where you were. There were a few of those, but it mostly either "Bill Walsh Way" or "2nd St".

Rex · Post by **Rex** » Fri Aug 28, 2015 9:16 am

That was pretty cool. I got to 21 with 2 misses. A couple more minutes would have helped.

If you're talking about MetLife, that one was perfect.
