Apparently it was a bit on the difficult side this week, si= nce no one came close to the 1000 club. Sliding Carp = came out on top with 823, followed by flowerpower in = second with 786 and dracos31 in third with 743. = Booklet made fourth with 742, and OtherLittle= Guy made fifth with 736. The hardest question on last week'= s Hard Quiz was about which sports figure would be again gracing the Wheati= es Box to kick off its 100th Anniversary Century Collector Series. Only 21%= of quiztakers knew the Wheaties people had chosen Muhammad Ali for the hon= or. The first person to grace a Wheaties box was Yankees legend Lou Gehrig,= and the person who has been featured the most is Michael Jordan - a whoppi= ng 18 different boxes, and he's a shoo-in for another one in this new serie= s. The easiest question on last week's Hard Quiz was abou= t which company lost $4 billion in market share on the same day that Portug= uese soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo removed their product from view during a= press conference. 82% of quiztakers knew that it was two bottles of Coca-C= ola that he didn't want to have to peek around to see the people askin= g him questions. I mean, did they expect an athlete in top physical conditi= on just before one of the most important games of his career to pop open a = bottle of pure sugar and take a swig? What's next, razor companies leaving = their products on the podiums in case a quarterback decides to shave mid-pr= ess conference? The hardest question on last week's Easy Quiz was ab= out what souvenir from Disney's "Cruella" was stolen from the Tom Davies st= ore in Sloane Square, London.
