Re: Ars' Brain Challenges #4

Ok, I'll give this a shot. Answered or not, I'm just going to answer these anway.

1. What was the release date for the rerelease of Leitmotif?

September 11th, 2001. Probably why it didn't get more attention.

2. How long is the final track on Leitmotif?

20 minutes and 20 seconds.

3. What is incorrect about the title of this post, and why is it incorrect?

I should know this... but I'm not sure. But I'll go with it needing to be "Ars's Brain Challenges #4" because that would be the possessive use.

4. In Star Wars Episode 1, Natalie Portman played Queen Amidala. What actress played the Queen's decoy, pretending to be her while she ventured off?

Keira Knightley. In fact, I'm such a geek, her characters name is Sabe, and it is commonly believed that, because they look so much alike, Natalie Portman also played Sabe. Not true. It was Knightley.

5. What is the last 2-digit prime number?

97

6. When would the next official binary day be?

I think SomeHomlessGuy had that right, 01/01/10.

7. What is a dredge used for?

Scraping the sea floor. I don't know what the purposes of that is, but that's what it's used for.

8. What is the first perfect cube?

I'll take a stab. 1 to the third power.

9. Who recently denied being homosexual by saying that there was no word to define her relationship?

Fuck, I don't know. Helen Hunt. I've always thought she was gay.

10. In what year was control of the Panama Canal turned over to Panama?

I'm gonna go with SHG's answer and say 1999.

[redmosqui]

oprah is the one who said she is not gay but there isn't a way to define her relationship with some chick....

and don't worry about knowing all that shit about the star wars question...i know it too...so you're not alone in your geekness

[Ars Sycro]

Gnomad has definitely done the best. Good job with the Sabe one... that was my "I'm madly in love with Natalie Portman and Kiera Knightley" question

#3 is pretty much correct, but WHY is Ars's the possessive and Ars' not?

#6 is the next almost true binary day.

#8 is incorrect, but close.

Re: Ars' Brain Challenges #4

These were fun...

...More?

[Ars Sycro]

Re: Ars' Brain Challenges #4

Maybe. They take time to think of questions that the first poster won't get all of.

[One Second Clubber]

Re: Ars' Brain Challenges #4

Maybe I'll be able to think of some...

...did you know that 1 in 5 people have herpes?

I guess that question really doesn't work...

[Ars Sycro]

Re: Ars' Brain Challenges #4

It does if you ask 5 people if they have herpes. When they all say no, you get to figure out which one does.

Re: Ars' Brain Challenges #4

and you would figure that out how exactly......?
