On the Quiz itself, Blackstone= ng> makes his way into the 1000 club with a score of 1011, followed by = ;TheMothership in second with 984 and Denjiro= in third with 963. No Catchy Nickname = makes fourth with 940, and bud jones makes it into th= e top five with 934. The hardest question on last week's Hard Quiz w= as about the choice of vehicle for a 54-year-old Richmond, IN man who led p= olice on a slow pursuit for over an hour, Only 39% of quiztakers knew he ha= d stolen a street sweeper from a nearby construction site to drive through = town and peoples' yards before crashing it into the river. No word on = street cleanliness post-chase. The easiest question on the Har= d Quiz was about the former owner of a pair of diamond bracelets that had r= ecently sold at auction for $8.4 million. 87% of quiztakers knew that the l= ast Queen of France before the French Revolution was Marie Antionette. Anne= Boleyn was the second wife of England's Henry VIII I Am I Am and also lost= her head at the beginning of the English Reformation, and Mary Tudor was H= enry VIII's daughter who tried (unsuccessfully) to reverse the English Refo= rmation and put more power back into the hands of the monarchy. The = hardest question on last week's Easy Quiz was about this year's Thanksgivin= g Doughnuts collection. Only 37% of quiztakers knew that you could Pumpkin = Pie Doughnuts, Cranberry Orange Doughnuts, Dutch Apple Pie Doughnuts, and G= obbler Doughnuts at Krispy Kreme. Oddly enough, few picked up on the fact t= hat Krispy Kreme uses the "Doughnut" spelling, while the other choice, Dunk= in'; spells their product "Donut." The easiest question on the= Easy Quiz was also about empty calories - only this time, Krispy Kreme was= the wrong choice. 86% of quiztakers knew that Cinnabon was now selling pin= ts of their signature frosting at certain stores and through their app. Bec= ause sometimes, just adding more pure sugar to your dish isn't enough - you= also need some saturated fat.
