*Introductory theme tune*

My brain hurts.

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.

ROUND #1

Your first category this quiz is...

QUARTETS

And the question concerns...

GROUPS OF FOUR

(Yeah, same thing.) A bit of a different format today. I'm going to show you a list of six things that are all groups of four. I'm looking for anything that fits into any of the groups. As always: the more obscure, the better. Here we go.

MEMBERS OF THE MONKEES

PRESIDENTS OF THE USA KNOWN BY THE FIRST NAME JOHN

COUNTRIES OF THE EU THAT BEGIN WITH 'S' IN ENGLISH

FEATURE FILMS STARRING HARRISON FORD AS INDIANA JONES

THE US STATES THAT MEET AT THE POINT CALLED 'FOUR CORNERS'

THE KARDASHIAN SIBLINGS (Not step)

Joeyy | 16-05-2015 18:33

There are plenty of low scorers, but there's only one pointless answer.

Good luck!

PinkFloyd | 16-05-2015 18:37

PRESIDENTS OF THE USA KNOWN BY THE FIRST NAME JOHN - John Tyler

By the way, we've had the presidents question before. Because I remember giving an answer and being irritated because it ended up not counting in the end.

You can delete or edit this, Joey, if it gives anything away.

Joeyy | 16-05-2015 18:49

* offtopic :
Yeah, we've had general US presidents before (possibly even more specific than that), but not in a round like this, I don't think.

Also, haha, sorry, I have to go by their rules.

MEMBERS OF THE MONKEES - Mike Nesmith

Joeyy | 16-05-2015 19:21

Sometimes an answer will score significantly differently in one round than it does in another.

I checked back and a previous round that we've had JOHN TYLER as a correct answer in asked for 'US PRESIDENTS NAMED ANDREW, FRANKLIN, GEORGE, JAMES, JOHN, OR WILLIAM (or a variation of)'. I guess it's about the way people think. In that round, a British person might start going through all of the presidents until they reach any with one of those names, whereas in today's round, they might not bother going through the rest and just put down any of the Johns that come to mind in the time limit.

That's what I often do anyway.

This isn't to say the answer will definitely be different this time, but it happens.

THE US STATES THAT MEET AT THE POINT CALLED 'FOUR CORNERS - Utah

Juliet86 | 16-05-2015 20:06

Playing it (hopefully) safe.
COUNTRIES OF THE EU THAT BEGIN WITH 'S' IN ENGLISH - Slovakia.

Cheater138 | 16-05-2015 21:28

MEMBERS OF THE MONKEES - Peter Tork

Cheater138 | 16-05-2015 21:31

I entered that before I actually read what the other categories are. Hopefully that doesn't come back to bite me.

Joeyy | 16-05-2015 21:40

Hahaha. Did you think it was the only category?

Cheater138 | 16-05-2015 21:45

No, I figured if Brits were going to forget anyone it would be the least favorite member of an American Beatles copy "band".

Totally happy with my answer though. I don't know any non-obvious sounding ones in the rest of the categories.

Joeyy | 16-05-2015 22:06

Poor Peter Tork.

Cheater138 | 16-05-2015 22:12

There's always that one guy who's just there... Kevin from Backstreet Boys, Lance in N'sync. Peter is that guy.

indiechick_ | 16-05-2015 22:14

Four corners - New Mexico

Joeyy | 16-05-2015 22:18

Other than Justin, Lance is the only one I ever remember.

CaptainStabbin | 16-05-2015 22:24

PRESIDENTS OF THE USA KNOWN BY THE FIRST NAME JOHN - John Quincy Adams

Cheater138 | 16-05-2015 22:24

shhhh. I remember all of them.

Joeyy | 16-05-2015 22:26

No one's going for the Kardashians?

Joeyy | 16-05-2015 22:27

Is Lance gay? I feel like I remember him because I read that (compared to no news about the others :p)

CaptainStabbin | 16-05-2015 22:27

No one's going for the Kardashians?

If only that were reality

Cheater138 | 16-05-2015 22:29

Yes he is, Joey. And married his partner around Christmastime last year.

kalsonberry | 17-05-2015 04:45

THE US STATES THAT MEET AT THE POINT CALLED 'FOUR CORNERS' - Colorado

CarlJ | 17-05-2015 13:41

Point of clarification.....On the names of Presidents.....is it known or unknown?

If it's worded weird, my answer is John Calvin Coolidge. He used his middle name, but his given name was John.
