On the Quiz itself, no one made the 1000 c= lub, so I'm not sharing said sauce with anyone. FacelessDevil30= rong> came in first with 948, followed by Denjiro in = second with 947 and badplaid in third with 929.= Captain Orr came in fourth with 922, and runwiz made fifth with 914. The hardest question on the H= ard Quiz was about the snack food Bamba, which you can find in some stores = or at Citi Field where the New York Mets usually lose. Only 28% of quiztake= rs knew that the peanut butter-flavored puffed corn snack comes from I= srael, where it makes up 35% of the country's entire snack food market= . I still haven't tried it myself, but the idea of peanut butter-flavored c= heetos seems like it's worth a shot even if I have to watch the Mets. = The easiest question on the Hard Quiz was about the renaming of For= rest Hill Academy, an alternative school in southwest Atlanta. 88% of quizt= akers knew that the school was going to soon be bearing the name of basebal= l slugger Hank Aaron, who moved with the team from Milwaukee and broke Babe= Ruth's home run record in 1973 in Atlanta Stadium - a stadium that the Bra= ves and MLB refused to move to from Milwaukee unless it was integrated in s= eating. That seems a much better role model and namesake for a school than = the former Confederate general and co-founder of the KKK. The = hardest question on the Hard Quiz was about the sketch comedy show "Wonder = Showzen", which aired from 2005 to 2006. Only 30% of quiztakers knew that t= he show and its wild disclaimer could be seen on MTV, which by then ha= d for some reason stopped showing music videos and was willing to air an ad= ult comedy show featuring puppets as long as it didn't have to show another= Kelly Clarkson video. The easiest question on the Easy Quiz was abo= ut 60-year-old Christopher Atkins, who is single and looking for a "highly = sexual" love interest. 82% of quiztakers knew he spent the majority of the = runtime of "The Blue Lagoon" shirtless opposite Brooke Shields, although he= never seemed to get a sunburn despite the lack of sunscreen on the island.= He does enjoy camping and fishing and snake hunting, so be sure to get in = touch with his agent if you're interested.
