Top honors go to = ;jurisenpai, who leads the pack with 1047, followed by&nbs= p;vonster in second with 937 and Denjiro= ong> in third with 926. Texa$ made fourth with 915, a= nd Auntie Cheesus rounds out the top five with 911. The hardest question on last week's Hard Quiz was about what Alan She= pard took with him in his first flight into space to prove to the F&ea= cute;dération Aéronautique Internationale that he was indeed = the same person who took off from the launching pad 100 miles away a mere 1= 5 minutes previously. Since there was no way for the observers to make= this same trip in that short time, they had to have another way of proving= it. Only 32% of quiztakers knew that the French guys handed Shepard a US $= 1 bill, and then verified the serial numbers with observers at the end of t= he flight via radio to prove that he was himself. This same system was used= with a $1 bill for all of the early American space programs. The ea= siest question on the Hard Quiz was about lidar technology. 85% of quiztake= rs knew that laser-based radar technology is used mainly in the self-drivin= g automobile sector, as itt helps computers be aware of their surroundings.= Personally, I think they should choose a better name, perhaps one without = "lie" in it, if they want me to trust it. The hardest question= on last week's Easy Quiz was about who Disney had signed on to star in the= ir upcoming "Tower of Terror" movie based on the theme park ride. Only 46% = of quiztakers knew that Scarlet Johansson had two Oscar nominations under h= er belt, for "Marriage Story" and "Jojo Rabbit" and will star in the upcomi= ng flick. Benedict Cumberbatch has only one, for "The Imitation Game." = ; The easiest question on the Easy Quiz was about what Proctor &= Gamble would be sending up to the space station. 80% of quiztakers knew th= at NASA would soon be experimenting with a special formulation of Tide laun= dry detergent, as currently astronauts are like teenagers in that they wear= their clothes until either the sleeves no longer bend or the legs try to c= rawl away when they go to put them on. The P&G people hope that a new l= ow-water usage detergent can also be useful here on the ground in areas wit= h troubled water supplies. If you missed out on the Quiz last week, = [you can catch up on the Fark Weird News Quiz](3D") now that you k= now a few answers. Congratulations once again to the winners, and we'll be = doing 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.
