On the Quiz itself,= cyberspacedout came out on top with 988, followed by = ;kokomo61 in second with 973 and Captain Orr in third with 946. kittyhas1000legs made fou= rth with 935, and VooDoo_Blonde was right behind in f= ifth with 934. The hardest question on last week's Hard Quiz was ab= out which of the Pumpkin Spice products listed was real. AXE has yet to mak= e a pumpkin spice scent, probably because their target market is teens who = aren't yet addicted to caffeine so they don't know what pumpkin spice is, O= FF! doesn't have a pumpkin spice flavor, since it wouldn't mask DEET very w= ell and anyone who's carved a jack-o-lantern and set it outdoors can tell y= ou pumpkin doesn't exactly repel bugs, Only 41% of quiztakers knew you= can indeed make your butt smell all seasonal with Dude Wipes' new flavor o= f scented flushable wet wipes, and I'm not going to speculate about your re= asonings for doing so. The easiest question on last week's Ha= rd Quiz was about the definition of the word "assay". 85% of quiztakers kne= w it meant "to determine the content or value of something", as in "I don't= care about what hesay, assay it's worth about fifty bucks." The ha= rdest question on last week's Easy Quiz was about the very first episode of= "The Late Show with David Letterman". Only 64% of quiztakers knew that Pau= l Newman had taken a break from filming the Coen brothers' "The Hudsucker P= roxy" and decided to take in a show in New York, and became a bit distresse= d when there weren't any singing cats on stage. His cameo on the show defin= itely helped to set the mood for Letterman's irreverent comedy after his sw= itch to CBS. The easiest question on last week's Easy Quiz was abou= t the definition of "oxymoron", 96% of quiztakers knew that it was a combin= ation of words with opposite meanings, like "act natural", "microwave oven"= , or "honest crook". If you missed out last week, it's a grea= t time to [catch up = on the Fark Weird News Quiz](3D"=) now that you know a few of the answers. Con= gratulations once again to the winners, and we'll be doing 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.
