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.

1. FIRETHORN / REDBUD / NANDINA / HOLLY
Names of the 15th-18th holes of Augusta National Golf Club.
2. PINEAPPLE / GALAXIAN SHIP / BELL / KEY
"Pac-Man" bonuses in order of appearance. These bonuses are totally different from the more familiar "Ms. Pac-Man" bonuses.
3. A = SUCCESS / X = WORK / Y = PLAY / Z = KEEPING YOUR MOUTH SHUT
1950 Albert Einstein quotation, "A = X + Y + Z".
4. POEHLER & MEYERS / MEYERS / MEYERS & STRONG / STRONG & JOST
"Weekend Update" anchors on "Saturday Night Live" in chronological order. Cecily Strong & Colin Jost began co-anchoring in March 2014 upon Seth Meyers' departure.
5. PRESTON SMITH / DOLPH BRISCOE / MARK WHITE / ANN RICHARDS
The last four Democratic governors of Texas in chronological order.
6. 2011: DUSSELDORF / 2012: BAKU / 2013: MALMO / 2014: COPENHAGEN
Host locations of the four most recent Eurovision Song Contests. This year's Eurovision was the butt of many late-night jokes, thanks to the de facto war between a Russian song and a Ukrainian song. And that drag queen from Austria who won the contest.
7. BIG BEN / EVE WHITE / JANUS / (e.g.) ANTOINNE WHITLOCK
I think that I might have set a Guinness World Record for the trivia question with the most possible correct answers ever. First, I'll tell you the sequence.
Four faces, three faces, two faces, one face. Frank was so close, but he skipped over the one face and went right to faceless.
This sequence could be completed with anything that has one face. This was a perfect opportunity for all of you to be creative with your correct answers. I chose a gay black dude from Louisville, KY, who went to the same middle school and high school that I did. You could have gone with a wristwatch, a squirrel, the Moon, a "Have a Nice Day" T-shirt, a joker tile in Rummikub, or any human being who has ever lived on Earth. You had over 100 billion correct answers to choose from.
8. 2000: OLLY / 2004: PHEVOS / 2008: BEIBEI / 2012: WENLOCK
Wanky was not a bad guess. A very British answer for...
Summer Olympics mascots in chronological order.
9. CLARIFIES / WORKS / IS RIGHT / IS GOOD
This is definitely one that you've heard dozens of times before, but it was tough to recognize because it was going in reverse order.
Reverse order of things Gordon Gekko says about greed in his Teldar Paper speech in "Wall Street".
10. 666 = 18 / 18 = 8 / 8 = 5 / 5 = 4
The number to the right of the equals sign is the number of letters used to spell out the number to the left of the equals sign. "Six hundred sixty-six" has 18 letters, "eighteen" has 8 letters, "eight" has 5 letters, and "five" has 4 letters. I may be wrong on this, but you could start this sequence with any positive whole number known to man and, no matter how many steps you go through, you will always eventually end with 4.
