19 points for Radja and Cephrir! Praxidike was named in August 2003 after the Greek goddess of punishment. But thankfully, you are not being punished today.


Klick, your move.

Himalia is the largest irregular satellite of Jupiter, and the sixth largest moon of Jupiter overall. Ceph needs to pull a score under 24 in order to win the round.

Well, dang. I'm pretty sure Europa is correct, but it's going to be too popular an answer. Of the others, I'm just going to go with
Eukelade
on the grounds that it sounds the most compellingly like a real thing.

Because they have the least cumulative points, Klick and racefan go first!
The more specific category is:

U. S. Presidents


Give me the name of a U. S. President. You only get one submission. Either of you may post, and you may talk among yourselves to figure out who you want to name here. The score is tied at 1 to 1. Remember, first team to 3 points total wins the Brawl. Good luck!

Oh hey, I like that guy. He's got a super cool name. He was also President from July 9, 1850 – March 4, 1853, and at one point was part of my favourite named party of all time, the Know Nothing party. But who else knew who the heck this president was?

Spoiler:

Is that good, or is that bad? We'll just have to see~

He was also president from March 4, 1877 – March 4, 1881. Now did you do better than racefan and Klick?

More specifically, your category is:
Songs and Movies With the Same Name


Stars and YearSong/Movie TitleArtist and Album
Antonio Banderas, Salma Hayek (1995)Eagles - [Eponymous]
Jason Biggs, Chris Klein (1999)Don McLean - [Eponymous]
Robert Downey, Jr., Jeff Bridges (2008)Black Sabbath - Paranoid
Sarah Jessica Parker, Helen Hunt (1985)Cyndi Lauper - She's So Unusual
Vincent Price, David Hedison (1958)U2 - Achtung Baby


These songs and films have the exact same name. You have the actors who were in them and which year the movies were released. And which band or singers sang the songs and which album they were on. All you have to do is give me a correct answer that is on this table and hope it has the lowest number of correct responses. Good luck!
