The only inaccuracy in the first post is who's in control. I haven't been bothered to update that since the questions have been going so fast the past few hours.

imaginality: In the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series, what is the answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything?

Good thing you only asked for two!

Pennsylvania and I'm offended.

I am truly sorry.

The easiest one I've had so far - 42!

(By which I mean, 42, not 42 factorial

)

Over to Xalxe next.

You're either looking for the head or the eyeball.

NS is up.

Nobody Special: What satirist and songwriter sang of "New Math," "The Elements," and "Poisoning Pigeons in the Park?"

Tom Lehrer

....and by the way, I learned much of the periodic table from his song, "The Elements."

And that's thirteen correct answers in a row now.

Who are you setting your sights on now?

13 in a row? Wow. If only we were playing The Weakest Link.

As a sidenote, Fifteen to One is the epitome of what quiz shows should be. Some interaction, but the focus kept firmly on the questions, which were fairly challenging without being Mastermind-level impossible. And no prizes worth mentioning - people playing just for the glory. (I think at most the winner of each series got a crystal bowl, perhaps.) Good show, it was (is? is it still on?).

Per YouTube, they brought it back last year, but it's slow as hell now (it's on for an hour now, meaning you have boring cliffhangers like "who will Joanna nominate? Find out... after this!"). The original wins by a long shot. [/rant]

imaginality: Other than romaji, there are three main forms of writing in the Japanese language. Name any two of them.

kanji. and... ugh... no idea... hanji?

doctorwho · Post Post #263 (ISO) » Mon Jan 26, 2015 6:48 am

Kanji is one of them, but I'm afraid hanji isn't. The other two are hiragana and katakana.

Nobody Special, you're still in control.

Save The Dragons: Finish the quote: "A boy's best friend is..."

Xalxe · Post Post #268 (ISO) » Mon Jan 26, 2015 1:38 pm

inb4 "his boyfriend" or "Cephrir"

ISO · Post Post #269 (ISO) » Tue Jan 27, 2015 7:48 am

"his dog?"

I don't know this quote

I was tempted to put "his hand"

Also not Cephrir. It says "a boy's," not "my". I ain't sharing you all better step off...

I feel as though I'm missing something....

doctorwho · Post Post #271 (ISO) » Tue Jan 27, 2015 8:44 am

It's "his mother." That comes from Psycho, for the record.

JasonWazza, still your pick.

ISO · Post Post #272 (ISO) » Tue Jan 27, 2015 9:38 am

Well if I had that info I probably could have gotten that

Lets give control back to Nobody Special then.
