*Introductory theme tune*

To me and Jeff and our recent/upcoming birthdays. BYOC (...cake). Also, it's World Naked Gardening Day. Go and plant a tree in the nuddy. I'm not watching.

Rules of the quiz:
- One answer per person (per round)
- Always give the answer you think the fewest amount of people would know
- If two people give the same answer in a short space of time, the first person's answer will be accepted (but the second can answer again)
- When applicable, a player may pick the same subject as another contestant and provide a different answer if they believe the other to be incorrect
- If you play the first round, please check back in case you make it through to Round #2
- Resist cheating (i.e. looking up answers; asking others)

And of course, respect your fellow contestants and have fun!

Round #1 will be posted shortly and will remain open until Monday (or, when applicable, until each answer is taken) to give everyone a chance of replying.

The records of previous winners and pointless answers can be found here.

Aw, haha, I'm sorry. The word rounds can be difficult. Flack, clack... I wouldn't have thought those would be so high.

ROUND #2

Your category for Round #2 is...

FILM

And the question concerns...

THE 2014 OSCARS SELFIE

I've linked you to the most re-tweeted photograph in history (at the time of recording) – taken at the Oscars in 2014, the selfie. There are twelve people in that photograph; I need you to name any of the twelve people you're about to see. Aim for the obscure, as always.

ROUND #2 RESULTS

Perhaps a few surprising scores this round...

Jeff: 31 (MERYL STREEP)
Sierra: 29 (KEVIN SPACEY)
Bruna: 19 (ANGELINA JOLIE)
Kaleb: 7 (JARED LETO)


Sarah: 2 (LUPITA NYONG'O)
Joe: 1 (CHANNING TATUM)

Congrats, Sarah and Joe! Foreign-sounding names and stereotypically sexy muscle guys...we like our men a bit more weasel-like.

ANGELINA JOLIE scoring 19 is insane. I can offer no explanation for that.

BRAD PITT scored bloody 70!

Just curious, was Lupita's brother (the guy next to Bradley Cooper) a pointless answer? I knew it was him, couldn't remember his name.

Hooray for Round 3 though! It's been a while.

I expect nothing less from you in film rounds. Though I know several of you are good on films.

He actually wasn't pointless; he scored the same as Channing. Somehow, one person remembered that PETER NYONG'O was (there and) Lupita's brother's name.

So one person is more of a random film-related information nerd than me.

Surprised that Channing Tatum scored so low honestly. I assume the remaining 4 scored high? (Ellen, Bradley Cooper, Julia Roberts & Jennifer Lawrence)

JARED LETO, Kaleb's answer, was the next best score, followed by JENNIFER LAWRENCE on 12. I think a few more people would know her now, but eh, still not that many.

BRADLEY COOPER scored 25; JULIA ROBERTS, 27 (what is up with people?)

ELLEN DEGENERES did quite well, scoring 42 (which is weird considering she's not that big here).

Sorry, I was slow to post that.

They just cannot seem to remember Jennifer Lawrence's name.

Argh, I was deciding between Jared Leto and Channing Tatum. I went with Leto because he was only in part of the picture...good luck Sarah and Joe!

Ah, hard luck, Kaleb! I would've thought the same as you (in fact, I remember when the episode was on - I didn't get Jared Leto; I couldn't make out who it was).

Haha. What can I say? We have odd taste. :p

HEAD-TO-HEAD, PART 1

Welcome to the head-to-head. Your first question concerns...

QUEEN SONGS

I'm going to show you five images now, all of which are visual clues to the titles of famous Queen songs. Can you give me the most obscure? Good luck!

I only know a handful of songs. I don't believe Hammer to Fall is one of them, but let's see how many of the one hundred are more knowledgeable than me about Queen music.
