On the Quiz itself,= Glockenspiel Hero came out on top with an admirable 1034,= followed by mybluemake in second with 1000 and = Grebuloner in third with 969. VooDoo_Blonde= strong> made fourth with 938. and Data takes the numb= er five spot with 928. The hardest question on last week's Hard Qui= z was about which automaker decided to yank back many employee bonuses= due to a falling share price. Only 37% of quiztakers caught the article ab= out Honda execs deciding that the few hundred bucks each in overpayment mea= nt their own bonuses might be short a few hundred thousand, and so delegate= d the task of bringing the bad news to the managers who weren't affected. G= od bless capitalism. The easiest question on last week's Hard Quiz = was about Oktoberfest, a word that seems like it could use some umlaut= s but the Germans for some reason thought it didn't rate any. 77% of quizta= kers had their lederhosen ready for a trip to Munich, the city where t= he annual beer festival has been held since 1810 when the soon-to-be King L= ouis I married Princess Therese von Sachsen-Hildburghausen with the world's= biggest open bar and presumably an all-night DJ spinning the top hits and = new remixes of classic 1780s tunes. The hardest question on last we= ek's Easy Quiz was about which band that we all watched on MTV in the 90s a= nnounced their farewell tour. Only 55% of quiztakers recognized what the na= mes Layzie, Krayzie, Wish, Flesh, and Bizzy had in common - once you add th= eir last name of "Bone". So if you want to hear them performing "1st of tha= Month". "Tha Crossroads",. or "Foe tha Love of $" live, grab your tickets = for the Bone Thugs-N-Harmony farewell tour now. The easiest q= uestion on last week's Easy Quiz was about Sam Beckett and how he never arr= ived home. 89% of quiztakers recognized the title card from the series fina= le of "Quantum Leap", a show now getting a reboot and you know it's only a = matter of time before the new lead runs into Sam somewhere on the timeline.= I'm actually optimistic about what they can do with newer technology when = it comes to footage filmed for older episodes. If you missed = out last week, it's a great time to [catch up on the Fark W= eird News Quiz](3D" now that you know a few of the answers. Congratulations = once again to the winners, and we'll do it all again on Friday. --------------------------------------------------------------- ([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.
