False

Ratatouille (I know this only because my sister Lizbit's boyfriend from puppy school was named Remy. I wouldn't want a boyfriend named for a rat.)

3. To see the Mona Lisa, one would have to visit what museum?
The Louvre (yet another place my mom won't take me)

4. The Basilica of the Sacré Coeur is built on the summit of what Parisian hill that gives its name to its surrounding district?
I don't know. I didn't even know Paris had hills. If my mom would drive me to the Louvre, I'd know this kind of stuff.

ANSWERS

1. True or False? In the Gregorian calendar, 1900 is a leap year.

False. Century years are not leap years, unless they are divisible by 400.

2. Remy is a rodent with a passion for cooking in what Disney-Pixar animated film?

Ratatouille.

3. To see the Mona Lisa, one would have to visit what museum?

The Louvre.

4. The Basilica of the Sacré Coeur is built on the summit of what Parisian hill that gives its name to its surrounding district?

Montmarte. Sprots, if I were in a generous mood and accepted that the banks of the Seine were hills, you'd still have missed on the 50/50; Montmarte is on the Right Bank! And, frogman, I believe you were thinking of the correct hill, but I'll have to follow Jeopardy's precedent of rejecting spelling mistakes that add syllables to the word by denying you the points for "Mont Marimont".


POINTS

Nobody (who was trying) could be fooled by Remy or Mona, but we had a few people get lost looking for Montmarte on February 29. Lots of you weren't confused and got a perfect score, including mcd1400de, who posted his answers before I could post these results.

I'll have to try harder to avoid the first tier questions from now on! :twisted:
