Unfortunately, we'll be serving = the stuff I found on sale in the 1000 Club this time. On the Quiz itself, Tax Boy came out on top with 1032 and will be joined in the= 1000 Club by dionysusaur with a score of 1023. = LizardOnAStick made third with 947, Blackstone= rong> made fourth with 933, and spudbeach made it int= o the top five with 932, The hardest question on last week's Ha= rd Quiz was about a record currently being pursued by Queen Elizabeth II, m= uch to the dismay of Prince Charles. Only 30% of quiztakers knew that King = Louis XIV of France inherited the throne when he was only four years old, w= ith his mother acting as regent until he was crowned at the age of 15. His = reign of 72 years, 110 days is the longest in modern world history, but Que= en Elisabeth has less than two years to go to take over this title. = The easiest question on the Hard Quiz last week was about the Abilene (TX) = Zoo's newest addition, a baby steenbok. 87% of quiztakers knew that a = steenbok is an adorable miniature antelope common in southern and eastern A= frica. They only stand about 24" at the soldier, and their main defense aga= inst predators seems to be their cuteness and the fact they're too small to= have any meat. The hardest question on last week's Easy Quiz was ab= out Disney milking an already successful blockbuster because they can. Only= 50% of quiztakers guessed that "Spider-Man: No Way Home" would be returnin= g to the big screen in an extended cut called "The More Fun Stuff Version",= which will feature scenes cut for time and pacing with more interactions b= etween the three Spider-Men and hopefully more scenes of Dr. Strange's base= ment and the weird stuff they find there. The easiest question= on last week's Easy Quiz was about Disney refusing to milk an upcoming blo= ckbuster by cutting content to get it into more theaters. 90% of quiztakers= knew that Pixar's "Lightyear" won't be shown in Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, or= the UAE because the filmmakers refused to cut a scene involving a same-sex= kiss. A few decades from now, the decisions by these "cultural ministers" = are going to seem as absurd as the decisions of American theaters to not sc= reen "Gone With the Wind" because Clark Gable said a naughty word.
