[quote name=\'whoserman\' date=\'Nov 21 2004, 03:02 PM\']So I didn't know that Matt was on $otC. I know now. A lesser person would've changed their answer. I chose not to.

My comment had nothing to do with the fact that you admitted to getting the answer wrong. It had everything to do with the fact that you thought it was a serious question to begin with. :-) I'm reminded of the time when I posted my "Net Zooventure/Everything Goes Hour" proposal to ATGS -- and one of the ATGS regulars (who is now a member of this group, and who shall remain nameless) emailed me with a serious request to become a contestant.

Really.
Thanks for sharing with the group.

It has more to do with being honest.

[quote name=\'Little Big Brother\' date=\'Nov 22 2004, 01:20 AM\']Actually, I believe the first time I heard about her name was reading the players guide "Mario Mania" (piblished by Nintendo), which was for Super Mario World on the SNES. They had a timeline of the Mario character, and if my memory serves, she was mentioned by name

I take it you didn't watch Saturday Supercade. The dimsel in distress Mario was always saving did go by the name Pauline.

(Does Pauline know about Mario's relationship with Princess Toadstool? There's a lost episode of All New 3's a Crowd in there somewhere, but I digress...)

Not bad! (All Weasley's are Griffindors, are they not? In fact, in five books have we come across a situation where siblings are in different houses? I don't think so.) However, I would throw 'em a bone and make one of the wrong answers plausible-sounding, but not an actual Hogwarts house. Just one.

Better double-check this. I was at Best Buy yesterday (picking up Harry Potter on DVD, in point of fact), and I noticed they had a new series of Bertie Botts' in new flavors. I dunno if they discontinued any of the old ones, tho.

I think Ginny Weasley is a Hufflepuff, actually.

*doublechecks*

Ah, silly me. Ginny IS a Gryffindor. In the first Harry Potter movie, the "young red-haired girl" gets placed in Hufflepuff. That must've been someone else though.

Did they add tripe? I know the last three were there last I bought them, but the first and last time I bought them was over the summer. They might've added new ones. I can't really see them taking away old ones though. I'll look into it.

Damn skippy. Go to google and type this...

"C"+"410hz"+"480hz"

...and see what comes up. 90% of the sites aren't even damn English.

Most definitely. If I remember my Potter history, Ginny, being a year behind Ron and Harry, was not of age to attend the School until the second book.

I can definitely see them rotating out the more...questionable flavors. I was just throwing it out there because I thought it was an interesting coincidence that you bring that up and I was looking at the very thing in Best Buy yesterday.

My point was more that it's kinda a lame question...there's no incentive to sit there and think it out, no real interest in the answer, and only a small majority of the folks at home will really be interested in it.

Kevin Prather · « **Reply #369 on:** November 24, 2004, 10:59:10 PM »

Very true. I think this proves that finding a MDQ that googles poorly isn't easy.

Kevin Smith's MDQ: 5 of the first 6 results for ""uncle sam"+"samuel wilson"+"war of 1812"" turned up the right answer.

Nancy Christy's MDQ: 2 of the top 4 results for ""Grant wood"+"american gothic"+"the farmer was"" turned up the right answer legitimately. (The last two sites directly involved WWTBAM.)

Armand Kachigian's MDQ: 6 of the 9 results for ""God Bless America"+"1918 musical"" turned up the right answer.

Jeff Gross's MDQ: lol. 9 of the top 10 results for ""tabby"+"district"+"world capital"" pertain to WWTBAM. Once that dies down, more of the top results will give the answer though. I know because they did when I checked last week.

Anyway, enough about that. Chris, do you have a question?

D: G

410 Hz is a lower frequency than 480 Hz. Also, since there are twelve notes in an octave, you multiply the lowest frequency continually by 2^(1/12) to get the frequencies of the remaining notes. If either frequency is in your scale, the other isn't.

Here's something I stumbled over looking for something else. It might be one for the nighttime show...

In relation to body size, Chris. You saying you're two inches tall?
