Alan
I'm a playwright, director, and Jeopardy champion who grew up on a pig farm in rural Georgia. Expect lots of entertainment questions, mixed with food, geography, literature, older music, and a bunch of random stuff. I have no knowledge of sports or science, but I try to throw in a couple of questions anyway. I consider the quiz a success if two or three teams finish in a tie --- the tie-breaker questions are always the most nerve-wracking and fun.

Sample Questions:

1. What company's name is mentioned in the Christmas song "Sleigh Ride"?
2. On the Periodic Table, Hydrogen is 1 and Helium is 2. What are 3, 4 and 5?
3. What 2 teams played in the first televised World Series, in 1947?
4. Counting Queen Elizabeth, how many people would have to die for Princess Anne to become Queen Anne?
5. What are the 3 penalty spaces in the original Candy Land board game? NOTE: Each correct answer must be a 2-word phrase
6. What date ends the federal government's fiscal year?
7. Which wife of Henry VIII is buried beside him?
8. What African capital city's name was used as the working title of Warner Bros.'s planned-but-never-produced sequel to Casablanca? HINT: In the final scene of Casablanca, Claude Rains says there's a free French garrison there: "I could be induced to arrange a passage."
9. What is the first number that, when spelled out in English, contains the letter C?
10. What 5 countries were founding members of OPEC?
11. Who won a 1904 Nobel Prize for his work on digestive physiology?
11. What is Dracula author Bram Stoker's first name short for?
