Super Millionaire Phone Game Starts Tonight

[MarkSDavies]

Out on the first -

make a park name

1 - National
2 - Monument
3 - Devil's
4 - Tower

and I looked down to see my finger pushing number 4 first ....  Damn, I wish they had a "clear entry" key....


Aaaaargh

I missed on my 2nd one again tonight.  The first was easy.

Arrange these words to form a song title
1 tonight
2 you
3 are             3-2-4-1
4 lonesome


My 2nd was:

Arrange these toys starting with the earliest (dates mine)
1 Beanie Babies  ('93)
2.Barbie Doll       ('59)
3.Koosh Ball        ('87)         2-4-3-1
4.Lionel Train       ('68)

I thought the Lionel train had been around longer than Barbie and I thought koosh balls were the most recent.  I really screwed that one up!

As a former hotseater I'm not eligible, but it's fun-- so I'm playing the phone game anyway.

Made it to question 5 and then crashed, bungling an easy one:

Put these parts of the eye in order, starting with the innermost:

Iris
Eyelid
Retina
Lens

I said 3-1-4-2, reversing the order of the iris and the lens.  D'oh!

[uncrph90]

Now 0 for 3 (and my wife was 1 for 1--darn it!)

2nd question--Central American History--In order from the earliest:

Mayan Civilization
Panama Canal
Zapatisa? Revolution
Columbian Independence

Try, Try, Again

Huh?  Lionel trains have been around longer than the Barbie doll...since around 1900 or so.

 Bombed on a pop music question again!
Here they are:

Place these songs in chrono. order, starting with the earliest:
1. Waterfall
2. Neutron Dance
3. Complicated
4. Stop in the Name of Love.
Having never heard of the top 3; I tried "4, 2, 3, 1" and was buzzed.

If I get a call, should I accept? My partner helped me get all 5 questions right. If it weren't for him, I would have missed on the 3rd question. I'm concerned that I'll get a call, go on the show, somehow end up in the "hot seat" and make a fool of myself... or I'll be the only one out of the ten to miss the fastest finger question. I have good general knowledge, but I'm definitely not "Jeopardy" material.

Here are the last 3 questions:

Put these books in order of their first release, starting with the most recent:
1. War & Peace
2. World According to Garp
3. Catcher in the Rye
4. White Fang

Put these planets in order of their diameter, starting with the smallest:
1. Uranus
2. Jupiter
3. Mars
4. Mercury

Put these New Jersey cities in geographic order, starting in the south:
1. Trenton
2. Atlantic City
3. Camden
4. Newark

Answers:
2,3,4,1
4,3,1,2
2,3,1,4

Nice to see 3 Invisioners qualify for Super Millionaire.  Makes me feel a little better about posting this topic.  As for everyone else, tonight's Round 4.  Good luck.

 HELLS YES.

My houseguest bailed me out on a question yesterday and today. Yesterday she knew what months birthstones stood for, and today she knew where Leavenworth Federal Prison was.

For that matter you should have Google locked and loaded, too. You never know when that little bit of info might be enough to help!

 Stop in the Name of Love was a comeback hit for the reunited Hollies in 1983

 Correct. Joshua Lionel Cowan began marketing his model train stuff in 1900. And it's still around and it still has its collectors and devotees.

I did imply IIRC on the Faulkner question -- I did get it wrong but muddled from about three possible runs as to the correct order when I posted.

----------

As far as the attempt last night went, got three...

And then _ANOTHER_ Arts and Lit question!!!

(This one on Pulitzer Prize winning drama plays... -- forgot the four listed -- two were "The Heidi Chronicles" and "Our Town")

First one was words in order to form a law of chemistry -- of -- Mass -- Motion -- Law

Second was musical styles in order of era, earliest first -- Disco -- R&R -- Grunge -- Psychadelic

Third was historical events in order (latest first) of happening:  Kent State Incident -- Reagan wins second term -- Castro takes power -- Beatles begin British Invasion in US

[starcade]

Is it just me, or does it seem like every fourth question or so is an Arts question?

Has anyone gotten a sports one, or anything else that the general public has a shot at??

It'd seem like (and this was true in the first run too!) that every 15 question stack should have three Arts questions, if these are any indication...

[quote name=\'ShoeHorn\' date=\'Feb 18 2004, 08:56 PM\']0 for 3.

Question 2#

Put these artists in order of their first Top 10 hits, starting with the earliest

1) Whitney Houston
2) Celine Dion
3) Barbara Striesand
4) Carole King

I take it Barbara had the hit first, not Carole. Eh.[/quote]
"People" in 1964--peaked at number 5 in the midst of Beatlemania.  Only Babs didn't sing her song first on "WML?" when she was supposed to sing it on Perry Como, like Louis Armstrong.

The other 3 are rather obvious--but considering that Streisand's biggest hit singles were in the 70s, your answer's more than understandable.
