A Return to Form

Wow! Great action last week! We've had good turnouts with lots of new faces. Apparently people have been spreading the word, and we appreciate it. But being the cruel masterminds we are, you've been rewarded with categories like That Guy! Tough but fun. We've been wheeling out fan favorites like Chick Flicks and more are on the way.

Newest Top 5 list? Post-Apocalyptic Flicks! Few genres really give writers the room for pure nuttiness like a bleak glimpse of the future based upon the destruction wrought by man's warring ways!

1) The Road Warrior - Any film with a guy named Lord Humongous has to be awesome.
2) A Boy and His Dog - A young Don Johnson does his best to get laid with the help of a telepathic dog. Yes, it's that weird.
3) The Omega Man - And not that Will Smith re-make. OH HELLL NO!
4) The Quiet Earth - Great survivor's tale in a classic cult flick from Australia.
5) On the Beach - A grim look at a world immediately after a nuclear war. One of the bleakest cold war movies ever made.

Anyone care to weigh in?

Week 6 SUPER 6 Hint

Reminder

Please note, as the result of a last-minute change by Jillian's, there will be no event at Seattle tomorrow night. Mark it on your calendar, write it on your forehead, or tattoo it on your chest like that guy in "Memento".

Week 5 SUPER 6 Hint

Reminder:
No Quiz in Seattle

Score Dispute

Every so often our human-ness peeks through the "Veil of Geek" that our question writers drape themselves in. In week 4's Super 6 round we asked this question:

"What was the best selling music single, earning Billboard's '#1 song of 1985'?"

While we were shooting for the answer of "We are the World" as displayed in the Answer round of the quiz, unfortunately the question was written poorly and confused some teams. "We are the World" was indeed the best selling single of 1985, but it seems that it did not earn a "#1 Song of 1985" designation. Billboard's "#1 Song" at the close of a given year, goes to the song that sits at the top of their Hot 100 chart. In 1985, that song happened to be "Careless Whisper".

We humbly admit that that question wasn't phrased the best it could have been, and we are giving teams that answered "Careless Whisper" a +4 for that question. (Teams that answered "We are the World" will not be losing any points)

We sincerely apologize, and the scores that are posted online will reflect the adjustments just as soon as your answer sheets reach H.Q. here in Seattle.
