Answers to YellowBelly A to Z week 4. See y'all next week. 
1.     Xanthan Gum. And now we are all out of Xes, except Xylophone. Next week’s X answer will prolly be Xylophone.
2.     Nicklaus (Jack). In the 1970s (and the 60s, and some of the 80s) Nicklaus was an absolute beast.
3.     Khan. Can’t accept Khaaaannnnnn!!! (that’s 12 movies…just kidding, we’ll take it.) A half point to Kahn (we had to be sticky on this – you had the letters!); hard “no” to Ankh and Hank; negative one to Nakh. The movies, clockwise, are Her, Knocked Up, (The) Adventures of Faustus Bidgood, and Notting Hill.
4.     Musgravetown. There are 8 NL towns listed here, and Musgravetown has the smallest population based on the 2011 census. Burin/Gambo; Bonavista/Placentia; Musgravetown/Stephenville; Bishops Falls/Harbour Grace.
5.     Ukulele.
6.     Zaire (the former. Long drive home from (West) Germany, b’ys.
7.     Lou. This is Lou from The Simpsons, Chief Wiggum’s right hand man.
8.     Calamari. Take the postal abbreviations in order: CA/LA/MA/RI = Calamari
9.     Badge. The five notes are B, A, D, G and E.
10.  Eiffel. Yup, Ol’ Gus Eiffel had a man cave.
11.  West. As in Kanye West. If you swap the two vowels (Y is not a vowel in this case as it begins a syllable, with a yuh sound) you get Kenya – on same continent as Zaire.
12.  Obama (Michelle). Plonking the UK’s Harry Styles in the nads.
13.  Teachers.
14.  India
15.  Gilbert (Johnny). He is the voice of those three words “This is Jeopardy!” and his name is mentioned on every show. He is almost a centenarian.
16.  Demi Moore. We’ve been sitting on this question for awhile. Demagogue, Demijohn, Demogorg, Demigod could also include Demimoore.
17.  Pasta. Translate to Italian and these are all pastas (or pretty close).
18.  Van Halen
19.  Japan. Van Halen released a different piece of album art (and slightly different tracks) related to a major cultural issue with conjoined twins. Who knew?
20.  Q. BQSTQN. Like, the ultimate “you had ONE JOB”.
21.  Shipwrecks. Not “storms” – other plays (like Macbeth) have storms.
22.  Rainbow Connection. Green Day, Red Hands, Indigo Girls, Purple Haze, Orange Crush, Yellow, Blue Oyster Cult are the colours of the rainbow.
23.  Here and Now. Right Here Right Now (minus the “rights”) plus Round and Round (minus the “rounds” = Here and Now)
24.  Fonz. Notably, “jumping the Shark” comes from the Fonz jumping sharks on water skis.
25.  AOC. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez – she has the O’s in Ocasio with Exclamation points (one upside down as is common in Spanish) before the first O.
26.  Yellow Submarine. The lyrics are: And our friends are all aboard/ Many more of them live next door/ And the band begins to play

Welcome to the YellowBelly Tuesday Trivia Blog. For the duration of downtime during the COVID Quarantine, we are moving the quiz online.  The format is different. Here is how it works.  Each Tuesday, we will post 26 questions. The answer to each question begins with a letter from A through Z, and no letter is used more than once. So if the answer is The Beatles , there will be no more correct answers that begin with B. If the answer is a person, we are looking for the surname .  The quiz will start at 7pm , and you will have until 8:30pm to email your answers to YellowBellyTrivia@gmail.com . Feel free to work individually or as part of a team. We have tried to make the answers hard to Google, but we cannot stop you from doing that.  We will post the names of the top three on the St. John's Trivia Facebook page, and the top team will win a $25 gift prize courtesy of YellowBelly, to be redeemed when all this stuff settles down. Plus each week we will have s...

The YellowBelly A to Z Trivia Quiz got picked up for another week, for Season 3, Episode 2 . With 30 teams last week, we feel we can keep this going until Dr. Fitz tells us to give it up. Each answer begins with a different letter of the alphabet. So, once a letter is gone, there's no turning back. Unless you made a mistake. Then you should turn back. Email your answers to YellowBellyTrivia@gmail.com by 8:30pm NDT on January 18, 2022. We had a few tips last week, so thanks for that. Tip jar remains...OPEN! Feel free to e-transfer to the same email above if you see fit. Now, on with the show. Let's start off with three music montages hosted on Soundcloud - songs may play out of order, so pay attention to that: 1. Music 1 The six songs in this montage share a very simple common bond . Name it. 2. Music 2 There are six clips in this montage. The name of the song is played in many of them, so that's not the connection - we are looking for a two-word quirk they all shar...
