Your category for the first head-to-head round is...
Events of 1974.
We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name the following details about events in 1974. Give the answer you think will be the most obscure.

DateHintAnswer
January 16This novel by Peter Benchley is published
March 8Airport named for this French leader opens in Paris
April 25The Carnation Revolution overthrows the authoritarian regime in this European country
October 30Muhammad Ali defeats this boxer in the “Rumble in the Jungle”
November 24This 3.2 million year-old skeleton is found in Ethiopia



Pablito and McMenno, you had the lowest score through the first two rounds, so you answer first. You may now confer privately on your answer.

I never announce the scores in the head-to-head until both teams submit :roll:

How many people said Joe Frazier?

Spoiler:
Incorrect
:(


How many people said Charles de Gaulle?

Spoiler:
54!
That gives Haschel and Malkon the first point. Pablito and McMenno need this next one to stay in the game.

I was thinking of the Thrilla in Manila :( Realized it after submitted. The other I knew was CDG, and I was able to come up with Lucy after we submitted.
Sup, later.

I was pretty sure about Portugal but wasn't 100%. I knew George Foreman was the Rumble in the Jungle, though, so we went with the safest answer.

CATEGORY: The Internet


We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name as many countries as they could that placed in the top 20 in terms of the number of people in that country who use the internet, as of 2012. Name a country you think both made that top 20 and was given by the lowest number of respondents.

Haschel and Malkon, you're up first this round.

How many people said Philippines?

Spoiler:
2!
The Philippines had 29.7 million users, which was #17 in the world.


How many said India?

Spoiler:
43
. The only answer you could have beaten the Philippines with was Nigeria, which despite being #10 in the world would have been a pointless answer! Haschel and Malkon, you move onto the pointless final. Pablito and McMenno, we'll see you again next episode :)
