And the Grand Prize Winner! ...The Hypnotoad

*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.

I can't believe Cher only scored nine.

The contestants who said Lenny Kravitz and Zac Efron both expressed shock at their low scores...yet the previous day (because contestants are on again if they don't make it through to the final) they'd had trouble identifying the Queen.

Haha, well, he's very well-known here. Did Pop Idol and The X Factor here first.

Random fact(s) about Jean Reno: He was born in Morocco with the much longer name Juan Moreno y Herrera-Jiménez.

And Whoopi Goldberg used to be a brick-layer!

Interesting facts. I knew I should have said Cher. Oh well. Congrats to the people going forward!

Really? I would never have expected Cher to score that low.

Who was the person in the center? Only one I don't know.

I thought Jen or Kaleb might know that one - that's AMELIE MAURESMO, former French tennis player and now Andy Murray's coach. Five points for her.

ELTON JOHN scored the highest, with 77 people saying him.

BONO scored 59, fairly high but not as high as I'd expected.

Thirty for Jane Fonda.

There's only one answer that could've beaten them - if anyone knows the 2006 film about the cyclist...?

Not, I. I know very little about cycling.
Yay for old baseball movies, though! This is one of the parts of the movie I like (watch it all or skip ahead to about 2:18 where she shows her knowledge of baseball jargon.)
