Standard Trials Pub Quiz
Lab Coat Guy, Music Guy, Book Guy
We scored 19 out of 20, our highest score ever. This was enough for a win. So, this blog will be very short.
The Missed Question
- What's the current name of the oldest U.S. military decoration?
Our Wrong Answer (and some Excuse)
- Medal of Honor. This was a mean question, but completely fair. The phrase "current name" should've been a clue, but we were thinking between "Medal of Honor" and "Congressional Medal of Honor", with one as a successor name of the other. (In fact, they refer to the same thing, the former is the proper name). The Purple Heart is the successor medal to the Badge of Military Merit, which was given out to only three people during the American Revolution. You can see that it is indeed a purple heart.
- What whale is the largest toothed predator in the world?
- What microwavable snack did some idiot "make love to" and then post video of on Vine?
- Sperm Whale. Since this was looking for a whale with teeth, our Book Guy reasoned that we needed a whale that can completely close its mouth. Something that chomps. He nominates Moby Dick, as it chomped off Ahab's leg, and Moby Dick is a sperm whale. We couldn't argue against that line of reasoning, so it was the answer we wrote.
- Hot Pockets. I had not heard of this, and I'm sort of glad I haven't. But this gives me the excuse to link to Jim Gaffigan's routine about Hot Pockets. If you want the Vine, you should search for it yourself.
