ox45tallboy= rong>) Another fun time on the Quiz this week, although I'm probably= holding off on ordering anything from ebay until we get not just drone del= ivery but drone enforcement of people adhering to their published prices. On the Quiz itself, Kidsmakeyoucrazy came out on top= with 974, followed by Denjiro in second with 961 and= jaycharms in third with 937. HighwayBill= rong> came in fourth with 918, and Auntie Cheesus mad= e the top five with 913. The hardest question on the Hard Quiz was a= bout which Internet giant took home an Oscar for best short subject documen= tary. Only 20% of quiztakers knew that this year's winner "Colette" was a j= oint project between Electronic Arts' Respawn Games studio and the VR tech = brand Oculus - which is owned by Facebook. I'm betting Zuck buys a replica = for the Oculus offices and keeps the original in his basement lair next to = your Internet browsing history and that shard from the Ark of the Covenant.= The easiest question on last week's Hard Quiz was about which compa= ny got a stern warning from California's Water Resource Board. 86% of quizt= akers knew that it was Nestlé that was overrunning their allotm= ent of spring water from the San Bernardino forest to fulfill demand for it= s Arrowhead product. On the plus side, they only get to bottle it for a cou= ple of more months before they have to call it "summer water" and that alwa= ys drops the demand. The hardest question on Last Week's Hard Quiz w= as over which 60's Hanna-Barbera series was getting a reboot on Fox. Only 4= 7% of quiztakers recognized the name Jean Vander Pyl as the voice of W= ilma Flintstone - and she also was the original voice of Pebbles Flintstone= , a grown-up version of whom Elizabeth Banks will be voicing in the new ser= ies. I'm guessing at this rate 50 years from now someone's going to be rebo= oting South Park with the kids all grown up and trying to have careers, pro= bably starring a descendant of a {NAME}. The easiest question on th= e Easy Quiz was about the new officially licensed Krispy Kreme Glazed Donut= flavored snack. 89% of quiztakers recognized Smartfood as a popcorn brand.= Personally, I think Krispy Kreme should just cut out the middleman and sel= l their "Glazed Donut" flavor as a syrup we can put on whatever the heck we= want, but that's just me. I mean, who wouldn't like cauliflower if it tast= ed like Krispy Kreme Glazed Donuts? If you missed out on the Quiz la= st week, you can [catch up on it here](3D"https:=). Congratulations = to the winners, and we'll do it all again this week. --------------------------------------------------------------- ([Fark.com](3D"") sent this newsletter emai= l to: {EMAIL}) To stop these emails, go to the Notifications tab of your [MyFark profile](3D"https:=) to change your subscription preferences.
