| swp <stephen.w.perry@gmail.com>: Oct 27 01:41PM -0700 this is Rotating Quiz #311. Entries must be posted by Friday, November 2nd, 2018 at 9 PM (Toronto time). Thank You to Mark Brader for running RQ 310 with a theme that I could figure out. Usual rules: no looking anything up, no discussion, etc. The winner gets to create the next RQ. Please post your answers to all questions in a single followup in the newsgroup, quoting the questions and placing your answer below each one. Only one answer is allowed per question. If the answer is a person's name then only the surname is required, but if any other part is given it must be correct or the answer will not count. There is a theme but it does not affect scoring. Each correct answer is worth 2 points; I do not have any way in mind in which an answer can be almost correct, but if one presents itself such an answer will be worth 1 point. In case of a tie, the first tiebreaker will be whoever scored the most points on the hardest questions (defined post-facto as the ones which the fewest people got any points on). Second tiebreaker will be posting order. 0. 2018 movie situated in lake tahoe starring jeff bridges and dakota johnson 1. tv series about a high school chemistry teacher diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer 2. 2018 tv series starring sarayu blue as emet 3. iconic 1966 spaghetti western starring clint eastwood and lee van cleef 4. 2016 movie about 3 overworked parents starring mila kunis, kathryn hahn, and kristen bell 5. 1995 movie starring will smith and martin lawrence as detectives 6. 1955 spencer tracy movie about a one-armed stranger coming to a tiny town possessing a terrible past they want to keep secret, by violent means if necessary 7. 2011 movie starring cameron diaz looking to get breast implants 8. 2007 cult classic starring jonah hill as seth and michael cera as evan 9. 2003 movie starring billy bob thornton and bernie mac good luck! swp |
