1. A = 9 / B = 2 / C = 2 / D = 4

Sequence: Tile distribution in a standard U.S. Scrabble set.

2. #5: ONE FIGHT AT A TIME / #4: ONLY TWO GUYS TO A FIGHT / #3: WHEN SOMEONE SAYS STOP, THE FIGHT IS OVER / #2: YOU DON'T TALK ABOUT FIGHT CLUB

Sequence: Reverse order of rules as mentioned in Chuck Palahniuk's book Fight Club. Of course, Rule #1 is the same as Rule #2, which is why I didn't start the sequence with Rule #4.

3. FUN & FORTUNE / HOOSIER MILLIONAIRE / THE BIG SPIN / CASH EXPLOSION

This was a semi-stumper. Most of you knew the category, but nobody knew what was fourth. Sequence: Longest running American lottery game shows, in increasing order of years. Ohio's "Cash Explosion" has been on the air for over 25 years and is the only weekly lottery game show on the air today.

4. JAY / DONNY / MARIE / JIMMY

Sequence: Youngest children of George and Olive Osmond in decreasing age.

5. TRESPASS / UNDERTOW / VENGEANCE / WASTED

Sequence: Last word in the titles of successive books in Sue Grafton's alphabet series.

6. IKE TURNER / KOJAK / LUCY AND RICKY / (e.g.) COWBOYS

Sequence: Nicknames for the Texas Hold'Em opening hands of King-10, King-Jack, King-Queen, and King-King. Any nickname for a pair of kings would be acceptable here--King Kong, Krispy Kreme, Martin and Coretta, etc.--but "cowboys" is the most commonly used one.

7. ADENINE / NIACIN / RIBOFLAVIN / THIAMINE

Sequence: Vitamins B4, B3, B2, and B1.

8. AMBLIN' / DUEL / THE SUGARLAND EXPRESS / JAWS

Sequence: First four feature films directed by Steven Spielberg, in chronological order.

9. THE FIVE / SPECIAL REPORT / ON THE RECORD / THE O'REILLY FACTOR

Sequence: Current weekday FOX News lineup, 5-8 PM Eastern.

10. 2011: OHIO STATE / 2012: KENTUCKY / 2013: LOUISVILLE / 2014: FLORIDA

Sequence: Most recent overall #1 seeds in the NCAA men's basketball tournament. Wichita State ended the 2013-14 regular season as #2 in the polls, so I couldn't accept that answer. UConn is also wrong because 2011 would also have to be UConn.
