Spoiler
1. DIAMOND / EMERALD / PEARL / _____

RUBY. Birthstones in order.

2. MY LOVE / MY SHIRT / MILAN / _____

THIS SONG. Things Right Said Fred is too sexy for

3. SAM WORTHINGTON / JASON CONNERY / JON FINCH / _____

I think a couple of these guys have played MacBeth, so I'll say ORSON WELLES. But I think there were others interspersed, so that's probably not right.

6. Y / B / A / _____ [Yes, the colors are important.]

Even if I wasn't a little color blind, I would probably not get this.

Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

Answer time! I'll bet that all of you were wracking your brains over at least two of these questions.

1. DIAMOND / EMERALD / PEARL / RUBY

Sequence: Modern birthstones of April, May, June, and July. Not surprisingly, the four months across which this contest will span.

2. MY LOVE / MY SHIRT / MILAN / YOUR PARTY

Sequence: Things that Right Said Fred are too sexy for in their #1 hit "I'm Too Sexy".

3. ERIC / MICHAEL / ALBERTO / JOHN

Sequence: First names of U.S. Attorneys General, in reverse chronological order. Holder, Mukasey, Gonzalez, and Ashcroft. How quickly we forget Merry Man John Ashcroft. We better hurry up and play as many games in this contest as we can because Ashcroft might shut us down after he sees the next question...

4. A FEAST FOR CROWS / A STORM OF SWORDS / A CLASH OF KINGS / A GAME OF THRONES

Sequence: George R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" literary series, in reverse order of publication. The book series started in 1996, but hardly anybody (including me) had heard of it until the HBO series started 15 years later. Personally, I think the books and the TV show border on softcore pornography, but I also think this was a brilliant question to ask in this contest.

5. SAM WORTHINGTON / JASON CONNERY / JON FINCH / ORSON WELLES

Sequence: Reverse order of actors who played the title role in feature film versions of a certain Scottish play by Shakespeare whose title you shouldn't say because it's bad luck.

6. Y / B / A / X

Site-wide stumper here. I'm sure that yellow Y, red B, green A, and blue X makes no sense as a sequence to anybody when it's written out linearly. It makes more sense when they are arranged in a diamond.

Sequence: Buttons on an Xbox 360 controller, going clockwise.
7. 980: NORTH CAROLINA / 984: NORTH CAROLINA / 985: LOUISIANA / 989: MICHIGAN

Sequence: The four highest-numbered U.S. area codes.

8. UNITED KINGDOM / FRANCE / SPAIN / ALGERIA

Another site-wide stumper... and I have to admit this one was evil for a Week 3 question.

Sequence: Countries through which the Prime Meridian runs, going north to south.

9. 2002: ANISSINA & PEIZERAT / 2006: NAVKA & KOSTOMAROV / 2010: VIRTUE & MOIR / 2014: DAVIS & WHITE

Sequence: Successive gold medal pairs in ice dancing at the Winter Olympics.

10. HONEYCOMB / ICE CREAM SANDWICH / JELLY BEAN / KITKAT

Sequence: Successive Android mobile operating systems.

An interesting mix of questions there. Bob J was once again the top scorer.

4/21 + 4/22 Scores (10 participants)
Bob Juch - 8 + 14 = 22
smilergrogan - 6 + 8 = 14
ShamelessWeasel - 4 + 9 = 13
plasticene - 5 + 6 = 11
themanintheseersuckersuit - 0 + 8 = 8
franktangredi - 1 + 5 = 6
jarnon - 3 + 3 = 6
kroxquo - 2 + 4 = 6
Bob78164 - 0 + 3 = 3
MarleysGh0st - 0 + 2 = 2
