Thought Notorious was going to be the most popular.

I'm honestly surprised at 1) The Brids didn't make the list --- 2)I cycled through all but one of the correctly guessed ones before settling on the incorrect one.

Wrong Black Canyon, SCK. They weren't referring to: [DO NOT OPEN AT WORK!!!]

The correct Hitchcock answers seem almost random. To my eyes, there's no apparent correlation between the most famous and the highest earning of his movies.

Never heard of him either. ROALD Dahl, on the other hand. I knew 2 books, picked the less obvious, and so did most of you.

Really surprised JPMorgan Chase didn't make the list. Thought that was the most obvious answer.

I can go back and see if it's somewhere down the list, but my guess would be that most or all of the correct answers have just been more recent so the values are that much higher. Like how much sports teams are worth compared to 15 years ago.

I thought you did. Really thought I was done, finishing with college basketball, and I thought Shula was going to be a huge score, but I couldn't think of anyone else I was sure of. Probably my best game of the season, and I had very little confidence going in.
