The Ultimate QoD Challenge -- Week 9, Tuesday

#1 Post by Pastor Fireball » Tue Jun 10, 2014 5:01 am

"The Fourth Element"

How about some Level 3 sequences? 4 points for correctly filling in the blank and 4 points for telling me why they make a sequence. There's a picture sequence at #10, so all you would have to do is tell me and/or show me what you would expect to see in place of the question mark... and tell me why, of course.

Answers are due by Wednesday 6/11 at 4 PM EDT.

1. LOVER / CHILD / MOTHER / _____
2. BETJEMAN, 1972 / HUGHES, 1984 / MOTION, 1999 / _____
3. FACE / GRACE / WOE / _____

This round was definitely better than yesterday's. I wonder if it had to do with the two PG-rated questions down there. :P

1. LOVER / CHILD / MOTHER / SINNER

Order of things Meredith Brooks is in her 1997 hit song "B****". She sounded like Alanis Morissette, but it wasn't her.

2. BETJEMAN, 1972 / HUGHES, 1984 / MOTION, 1999 / DUFFY, 2009

Surnames of UK Poets Laureate and years of appointment in chronological order.

3. FACE / GRACE / WOE / GO

Last words in each of the first four lines of "Monday's Child".

4. SUMMER OF SAM / THE WOLF OF WALL STREET / GUTTERBALLS / F***

Films with the most uses of the F-word in increasing order. I did a QoD question about "F***" and "The Aristocrats" many years ago. "F***" still holds the all-time record with 857, give or take a couple.

5. VELASQUEZ / CALDERA / CHAVEZ / MADURO

Presidents of Colombia in chronological order. Nicolas Maduro became president after Hugo Chavez died.

6. NELSON EDDY / SCOTT WOLF / KENNETH REEVES / (e.g.) ARTHUR BALFOUR

This is another one of those evil questions that wasn't really about the concepts of the four items, but rather the words and names themselves.

People whose names contain the consecutive letters ONE, TWO, THREE, and FOUR.

7. EXPLORERS & PIRATES / TRADERS & BARBARIANS / CITIES & KNIGHTS / SEAFARERS

Expansion packs for "The Settlers of Catan" in reverse chronological order of release.

8. CHRISTOPHER / PATRICK / CHRISTINA / KATHERINE

Arnold Schwarzenegger's and Maria Shriver's four children from youngest to oldest.

9. A STUDY IN SCARLET / THE SIGN OF THE FOUR / THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES / THE VALLEY OF FEAR

Sherlock Holmes novels in order of publication. Arthur Conan Doyle wrote only four Sherlock Holmes novels in his lifetime. Everything else was short stories.

GRANT TINKER / ELIZABETH TAYLOR / U.S. ARMY SOLDIER / (e.g.) JAMES BOND

"Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy".
