The 1000 club remains empty again this week, but it's no tragedy since I = only have basic vanilla ice cream, On the Quiz itself, FrancoFile= strong> came out on top with 928, followed by supareedy= g> in second with 921 and Mithraic_bullshiat in third= with 919. Data made fourth with 914, and JasonOfOrillia worked his way into the top five with 909. The hardest question on last week's Hard Quiz was about which Canadia= n brand would be outfitting Canada's Olympic teams for the next two Winter = and Summer Games. Only 42% of quiztakers knew that Lululemon was the only o= ption that was a Canadian brand. Burberry is a British luxury brand, and H&= amp;M is Swedish. I guess we'll find out what an entire Olympic team decked= out in yoga pants looks like when they debut their winter uniforms next ye= ar. The easiest question on the Hard Quiz was about the Danish artis= t who delivered two blank canvasses to a local museum who had commissioned = his work. 81% of quiztakers knew he had titled his "work" "Take the Money a= nd Run." Interestingly, the work was supposed to be a reproduction of = his earlier work that used actual currency to show the disparity of average= incomes between Austrian and Danish workers, so this makes the new piece e= ither a meta commentary on late-stage capitalism or the museum really does = have a point here in wanting their money back. The hardest question = on last week's Easy Quiz was about where to get cinnamon rolls topped with = Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Only 60% of quiztakers knew that this was a new= item available at Krispy Kreme, while I'm guessing the other 40% eat break= fast at someplace at least moderately more healthy, like Taco Bell. Persona= lly, I think it's only a matter of time before the Cinnamon Roll Chicken Sa= ndwich. The easiest question on the Easy Quiz was about that s= how we've all been binging on Netflix. 89% of quiztakers knew that "Squid G= ame" was made in South Korea. And for the other 11%, it's overdubbed and qu= ite watchable. I mean, it's either that or stare at Oscar Isaac's tallywhac= ker in "Marriage Story." (Seriously, watch "Squid Game.") If yo= u missed out on last week's Quiz, be sure to catch up on the Fa= rk Weird News Quiz now that you know a few of the answers. Congratulati= ons 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.
