Did Question 1 refer to Pringles "potato chips" or to Pringles "potato crisps"? --Bob

The question did say "chips," although they are "crisps" on the package.

Guess they didn't see the film. I precalled it.

I saw it and I couldn't remember. But I did guess Pumpkin. So maybe I did remember. I just forgot that I remembered. Or something like that... :?

Technically I believe they are "crisps" rather than "chips".

I'm not sure I would have known this, and given that the movie is recent, I might expect the audience to know it. Unfortunately Tony was Dursted, and I might well have been also.

You know, I spent almost 15 minutes at work last night googling "secretariat 'horse named pumpkin' " last night, and I didn't get any hits at all. This explains why.

Sheesh, I'm an idiot.

I wish he would have made it to the sixth question. Pretty easy topic...
Innocent, naive and whimsical. And somewhat footloose and fancy-free.
