Had several friends who played lacrosse in high school, and one played left handed

I had no clue about the other sports though

Yeah I only knew that Lacrosse allowed both. Had no clue that field hockey was right hand only. And I know nothing about the other 2 sports.

This one was kind of a tossup for a lot of people between the Euro country that is known for its wine rather than its beer, and the other Euro country that's known for its wine, not its beer, and I guess I made the answer choices harder than they should have been. Oops.

Question 4: Alcohol

Six of the eleven monasteries that are permitted to brew and sell authentic Trappist beer are located in Belgium, the other five elsewhere. Which of the following countries does NOT have at least one active Trappist brewery?

A. France

I'm surprised it seems to be somewhat common knowledge there's a Trappist brewery in the US. I'm American, I was in Belgium not too long ago and did plenty of beer related "research", and I had no idea there was one in MA.

I had no idea. I just figured it was the red herring answer.

I looked at the countries around Belgium, and I thought it was more likely France and the Netherlands would have one. I was wrong of course.

Now to consult a map to see if those countries are where I thought they were.

Question 5: Popular music

On August 1, 1981, MTV led off its first day by airing the video of the Buggles' Video Killed the Radio Star. By the time the day had ended, the network had aired 116 different videos. Some were shown just once, but many aired multiple times, as the total number of plays was 208. (Video Killed the Radio Star was shown twice that day.) In fact, three different videos were each shown on MTV five times that day: Phil Collins's In the Air Tonight, April Wine's Just Between You and Me, and one other.

Which of these songs was featured, in video form, five times on MTV on August 1, 1981:

A. Bette Davis Eyes by Kim Carnes
B. Call Me by Blondie
C. Ridin' the Storm Out by REO Speedwagon
D. You Better You Bet by The Who









24 hours to answer. If you're inspired by this question to watch some more 80s videos, send me your answer first.

I had no clue. I went with the "France is known for wine not beer, so let's go with that" strategy. Play bad, get there.

That was my exact thought too. France is too fancy and loves some wine and champagne 1 vs. 100 Official Game Thread

my name is stricken in the team table which is correct, because my answer "A" was actually a late entry for the previous question. Sorry.

Ah, yes, that's a mistake it's easy for me to make; not your fault at all. (Whether your previous entry was late or on time, I should have noticed and not downloaded it with the other answers.)

Anyway, all's well.

These have been good. I feel kinda dumb for getting the lacrosse one wrong; should have been able to get that from minimal lacrosse knowledge like watching Archer or American Pie.

The answer is



Regarding the incorrect answers:
  • Bette Davis Eyes was the number 1 hit in 1981, but the video didn't make the cut at all;
  • Call Me was the number 1 hit in 1980; on MTV's first day, Blondie was represented by Rapture (twice) and Heart of Glass, but not Call Me;
  • Ridin' the Storm Out ran only once, but it was one of eight (!) different REO Speedwagon videos aired that day.

For glory (but no POG$), name the only artist (singer or band) with even more different songs represented that day than REO Speedwagon's eight.

I went with the only song of the 4 that I know which also happens to have been massively successful, no regrets.
