Brandon, I'm going to say "C". I'm 95% sure it's C. I remember this; it was the summer of 1984 and it was such a big deal that they were throwing an extra movie rating between PG and R.

Speaking of which........

Which rating was not around when the MPAA introduced ratings to movies?

A. G
B. PG
C. R
D X

And you'd be correct.

Tidbit: Flamingo Kid was the first to be granted a PG-13, but the movie sat on the shelf for several months, and wasn't released until December 1984.

Ahhh..No wonder that movie comes up so much with "first PG-13 movie" related questions..

That'd be B...the PG rating was originally M (mature), but when many percieved it as being "higher" than an R, it was first changed to GP (General audiences, Parental guidance suggested), and then to PG.

It was a Ford (well, Lincoln) Futura. But I seem to recall a question similar to this as an upper tier question (I want to say $250k or $500k) on the show.

Perhaps question level 13 or 14?

Which of the following words contains an example of a triphthong?

A. Beauty
B. Banana
C. Rhythm
D. Period

TLEberle · « **Reply #400 on:** January 12, 2005, 02:00:43 AM »

That is an outstanding question, because you not only have an obscure reference (I had to look up triphthong myself) but you have wrong choices that could be right, which I won't share until someone guesses it right, but this is a good $100k+ question.

I think the answer is B. Banana. "Tri" usually means 3 of something. The way I see it, the letter a is used 3 times except they're seperated by various other letters(in this case, a B & 2 ns). So, it's B. Another word that might work this way is celeberty. C is close but the letters are such that they're 2 groups of 3 constanants. A is another cloae call but there are 3 vowels in a row here. Therefore I think seperation of one letter 3 times = B.

Eww, it's "Beauty."

No, it wouldn't, because it's not a word. Helpful, although incredibly obvious, hint: check a dictionary first.
