Two Week Trivia Team Tournament Quote

A1 - What was the last club to succesfully defend their UEFA Champions League title (or European Cup)?
A2 - The current season of the Europa League features 4 Iberian clubs in the semifinals. This feat happened last year as well, but there are no repeat clubs from 2011. Name all 8 clubs that made the semifinals of the Europa League in 2011 and 2012.

B1 - Of all of the people on the front of currently circulated paper money ($1 to $100), who died at the oldest age?
B2 - The first 13 quarters in the state quarters program were the original 13 colonies. Name the 14th and 15th quarters released (corresponding to the first two states admitted to the union after the original 13)

C1 - What is the radioactive element that was named after the creator of the periodic table?
C2 - A molecule of butanol has how atoms of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen? (List numbers in the order given. So if there are 2 carbons, 3 hydrogens, and 6 oxygens, your answer would be: 2, 3, 6)

D1 - The 1995 film Clueless was loosely based on what novel?
D2 - Supposedly Abner Doubleday invented baseball in the 1830s. But Jane Austen (who died in 1817) mentions baseball by name in the first few pages of what novel?

E1 - Outside of this year's "The Artist", what is the most recent film to win Best Picture that was ENTIRELY in black and white?
E2 - "Hunger Games" star Jennifer Lawrence was previously nominated for Best Actress for what film?


A1 - AC Milan in 1990
A2 - 2011: Benfica, Braga, Porto, Villareal; 2012: Athletic Bilbao, Atletico Madrid, Sporting CP, Valencia
. Derwi and clyro got this one. Thingy and Willi came close, both substituting Sevilla for Braga.

B1 - Benjamin Franklin at age 84. A few said Thomas Jefferson, who died at 83.
B2 - Vermont and Kentucky.

C1 - Mendelevium
C2 - 4 carbons, 10 hydrogens, 1 oxygen

D1 - Emma.
Everyone got this one.
D2 - Northanger Abbey. The hardest question of the ten. Only Crossnerd got this one.

E1 - The Apartment in 1960.
Most of you said Schindler's List, which has just a tiny bit of color. D1 and Noah were the only two to get this.
E2 - Winter's Bone

Got Winter's Bone...answered Marty instead of The Apartment. Had it narrowed down to either Marty or the early 1960s. fml.
