Morbo cannot read his teleprompter. He forgot how you say that letter that looks like a man wearing a hat.

*Introductory theme tune*

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.

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

WINNER: roxcyn, aka Scott

DON QUIXOTE
THE EMPEROR'S NEW CLOTHES

Aw, bummer. I would've enjoyed these two rounds (well, if I had made it through the first to also enjoy the second, that is).

Joeyy | 10-11-2015 06:02

At least you paid us a little visit; it's been a while.

Joeyy | 10-11-2015 06:04

Remember, it's The Emperor's New Clothes, not Groove. :p

Joeyy | 12-11-2015 05:34

That was actually the best answer on the board, so well done again, Scott.

THE EDGE (E) was the next best answer, scoring nineteen. Plays in the band U2.

JIMI HENDRIX actually beat Al Capone by a point, scoring thirty-seven.

And, of course, CHARLIE CHAPLIN is the man in B and he scored the highest, on fifty-nine.
