Hmmm… three teams submitting perfect scores in the first hour (7 in by 8:04!), we may not have pushed things as hard this week. Or maybe y’all just getting better. We did love the trivia set this week, but watch out Episode 4 on March 9! We shall be ruthless.


Also, a couple of oopses this week where 2 answers work. Sorry!

1. Lemon, Liz. All the songs or artists mention a fruit (score to Tina Fey’s Liz Lemon): Peaches, Passionfruit, Bananarama, Raspberry Beret, Cranberries, Blind Melon

2. Punctuation. All artists feature a form of it: Guns ‘n Roses, “Weird Al” Yankovic, Hey Rosetta!, The B-52’s, fun., will.i.am, Panic! at the Disco

3. Vito. Brando and De Niro won Oscars for playing Vito Corleone

4. Religion. Britney Spears is an anagram of “Presbyterians” and Pepsi-Cola is an anagram of “Episcopal” (Also, Belly Button is an anagram of “Butt, no belly”, and B’nai Brith is an anagram of “Thin Rabbi”, by the way. That’s all I got.)

5. Bean. Council of Elrond (LOTR franchise, as Boromir), Project Elrond (The Martian, as Mitch Henderson)

6. Alphabetical order (or Abecedarian Words/Order) The letters in each word are in alphabetical order in the word itself.

7. Jigsaw. From Saw franchise, played by Tobin Bell (Brian Tobin).

8. Queen: They are all Queen Albums. A Night at the Opera, News of the World, The Game, Flash Gordon, Jazz, A Day at the Races. Credit: Andrew Dominie!

9. ZZ Top. ZZ Top’s first album is called ZZ Top’s First Album. Meta.

10. Turks and Caicos: The design had two piles of sea salt - some stunned patser back in London thought they were igloos and put a door on one, and it was like 99 years before it was fixed

11. Uzbekistan: boxed in by Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan. Hit me back, just to chat, truly yours, your biggest fan, this is Stan

12. Krakatoa. (Eruption gets you a point, but messes up Q26). Even though Mount Krakatoa erupted 10 years before the painting came to light, they say Munch may have painted it earlier or it was a memory of when Krakatoa made skies around the world glow orange.

13. Mrs. Met. One of two Big-headed mascots for the New York Mets. Also screwed up here as Rosie red is correct too. Sorry sorry sorry

14. Yount. Robin and his brother, I dunno, let’s say Clyde or Herman or Larry...who knows. No, it actually is Larry. Nice job, Larry. Question courtesy of Scott Simms. 

15. Delaware called the 12 mile circle. 

16. Onomatopoeia. Zoom, Crash Bandicoot, Crackle, Fiz, Buzz Lightyear, Wham!, and Cap’n Crunch

17. William. Each guy’s middle name.

18. Gartrelle, Gordon: Theo wore this on The Cosby Show; hilarity ensued.

19. Haberdasher: Hab, Bird, Ashur. 

20. Charleston. Doing the Charleston (not The Carlton) in the city of Charleston

21. Namephreak: Herb Caen coined the term ‘beatnik’, and popularized ‘hippie’, and wrote a column about people whose surnames were apt to their jobs.

22. Sunglasses: All the movie posters feature sunglasses. This question was nabbed from Ken Jennings - we liked it so much!

23. Xanax: A product of Pfizer (vaccine and Viagra (rhymes with Niagara)) maker) – the actress referenced is Michelle Pfeiffer

24. India: Nine countries that currently are reported to have nuclear weapons

25. Father-in-Law: Pete Davison is David Tennant’s real-life father-in law. 

26. Ejegayehu. The other champion DiBaba sisters from Ethiopia are Genzebe and Tirunesh. The Ingebrigtsen brothers don’t nearly have the resume (yet) of the DiBabas.

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...
