1. THE HAMBURGER POSTULATE / THE DUMPLING PARADOX / THE PANCAKE BATTER ANOMALY / THE TANGERINE FACTOR
Names of episodes of "The Big Bang Theory".
2. MONGOLIAN'S 35TH / U+042F / EPIGLOTTAL TRILL / YANDEX
They're all represented by a reversed R. Yandex is Russia's leading Internet search engine and has a red reversed R as its logo.
3. DOLE / GAP / LENS / NANCY
Not all of them are European airports or even contain an airport, although Bob J was fishing in the right area.
English words that are also cities in France.
4. SUCCEEDING / SOUVENIR / SLEEPLESSNESS / START
Synonyms of Christopher Nolan films. "Following", "Memento", "Insomnia", and "Inception".
5. PRETZELS / MOUTHWASH AND TOOTHPASTE / GUNPOWDER / CIGARETTES
All have used urea/urine as an ingredient. Apparently, potassium nitrate is involved in all of these as well, so Bob J will get points for it.
6. CASTANETS / DATSUNS / BULLSEYES / CHEATERS
This is a classic "Only Connect"-type question.
All of these words contain the name of an NBA team. Nets, Suns, Bulls, and Heat. Remember, you can't spell "cheaters" without H-E-A-T. I'm just saying...
7. DEATH OF MICHAEL JACKSON / SINKING OF THE TITANIC / HOLOCAUST / SUPER BOWL XLVII BLACKOUT
Things that conspiracy theorists have blamed on the Illuminati.
8. VIRGIL / BACK THEN / TED HAGGARD / THE TACKLE
All are associated with people named Mike Jones. One Mike Jones is a wrestler known as Virgil. A second Mike Jones is a Houston rapper who had a song called "Back Then". A third Mike Jones allegedly had sexual relations with preacher Ted Haggard. A fourth Mike Jones was a linebacker for the St. Louis Rams who was known for the Super Bowl play called "The Tackle".
9. UTAH VALLEY / MISS OTHMAR / GUITAR PEDAL / WALLACE JONES
Wah Wah. You've probably never heard of the name Miss Othmar, but I'll bet that you've heard her dozens of times. She was the teacher in the "Peanuts" comic strip whose voice was always represented with a trombone "wah wah" in the TV specials and movies.
