I guess I ought to post these, even tho missing the ones I did is incredibly embarrassing. But maybe they'll help someone else avoid the stupid stick that hit me on the last two nights:

Sunday:
Q1 Put time period from longest to shortest
1. year
2. century
3. week
4. millennium
Spoiler
4213
Q2 Bones in order of where they are in the human body, starting with the head
1. nasal bone
2. tibia
3. clavicle
4. illium
Spoiler
1342
For some absurd (and stupid!) reason, I confused the tibia with the humerus
Monday
Q1 Title of a 2006 book
1. The
2. of
3. Audacity
4. Hope
Spoiler
1324
Q2 Events in order of how often they occur, starting with most often
1. Old Faithful erupts

3. (something) on Earth -- mm'd, but I guessed it was sunrise
4. Full moon

1342
Q3 Put relative in order of where they appear on the family tree, starting at the top
1. grandmother
2. granddaughter
3. great grandfather
4. great grandson
Spoiler
3124
I can't believe I missed this one, but I didn't have time to write the answers out and in the half second or so before I started to punch in my answer, I forgot that the second two were "great" -- I remember thinking, well, do they mean the males are listed before the females? Now is that stupid or what!

Alright, be prepared for a question overload. These are mine, my sister's, my uncle's, and my mom's questions from over the past couple days:

Q1: Place these quotes in the order that they were first introduced, starting with the earliest.
1) *something something* to kill a mockingbird.
2) Wherefore art thou, Romeo
3) Mighty Casey has struck out.
4) Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again.
Spoiler
2-3-4-1. What a ridiculously hard Q1.
-----

Q1: Form a city name.
1) Rapid
2) South
3) City
4) Dakota
Spoiler
1-3-2-4
Q2: Measurements, smallest to largest
1) Fluid ounce
2) Pinch
3) Teaspoon
4) Tablespoon
Spoiler
2-3-4-1
------
Me:

Q1: Title of a historical event
1) Of
2) War
3) The
4) Roses
Spoiler
2-1-3-4
Q2: Cities, east to west
1) Nashville
2) Little Rock
3) Ft. Worth
4) Dayton
Spoiler
4-1-2-3, this was mine. I got it wrong, I mixed up Nashville and Dayton. I went to the National Geography Bee in 2004. Shame. Shame. Shame.
-------

Q1: US Presidential nickname
1) and
2) rough
3) old
4) ready
Spoiler
3-2-1-4
Q2: Peach parts, innermost to outermost

2) flesh
3) seed
4) skin
Spoiler
3-1-2-4

Spoiler
3-2-1-4
Q4: Physicians date of birth, starting with the most recent
1) Robert Jarvik
2) Carl Jung
3) C. Everett Koop
4) Benjamin Spock
Spoiler
Ok, I tried looking all these up. Jarvik is 1946, Jung is the 1870s, Spock I'm guess means Benjamin Spock, born 1903, but I can't figure out for the life of me when or who "Coop" would be. So the order would be 2-4-1, and "Coop" could fall anywhere in there.

Edited to add: Thanks Bob! Koop was born 1916, so that makes the right answer 2-4-3-1
-------

Q1: Song from a movie
1) The
2) Eye
3) Tiger
4) Of
Spoiler
2-4-1-3
Q2: Grammy Songs, starting with the earliest
1) Hotel California
2) Killing Me Softly
3) Wind Beneath my Wings
4) All I Wanna Do

3) Connecticut
4) Maine
Spoiler
4-1-2-3

1) All Creatures Great and Small
2) Great Expectations
3) Greatest Generation
4) Great Gatsby
Spoiler
2-4-1-3, and just like that my uncle is OTC!
-------

Q1: Country music song
1) By
2) Your
3) Man
4) Stand
Spoiler
4-1-2-3
Q2: Health products in order of introduction, starting with the earliest

Q4: Artists date of birth, starting with the earliest
1) Camille Pisarro (this is most likely the name)
2) David Hockney
3) Rembrandt
4) Ansel Adams
Spoiler
3-4-2, and I can't for the life of me find out who "Pisack" is....any help? More than likely it fits in between the large amount of time between Rembrandt and Adams.

Edited to add: Looks like "Pisack" is "Pisarro", born 1830. Take that with a small grain of salt. Which would indeed put him between Rembrandt and Adams. So 3-1-4-2. Thanks, hbomb!

-------

Q1: Country name
1) America
2) United
3) States
4) Of
Spoiler
2-3-4-1
Q2: US Capitals, west to east
1) Baton Rouge
2) Sacramento
3) Montpelier
4) Harrisburg
Spoiler
2-1-4-3
Q3: Sounds, loudest to softest
1) Rustling leaves
2) jackhammer
3) Rocket launch
4) Vacuum

3-2-4-1
Q4: TV shows, starting with the most recent debut
1) The OC
2) Melrose Place

4-3-1-2
Q5: Bestselling books, starting with the earliest

1) A Clear and Present Danger
2) Memoirs of a Geisha
3) Bridges of Madison County

These are all a lot closer than you might think.
A Clear and PResent Danger - 1989
Bridges of Madison County - 1992
Memoirs of a Geisha - 1997
Da Vinci Code - 2003
So it's 1-3-2-4, which my mom did not put down.

4) Outside
Spoiler
3-4-1-2
Q2: Fashion items, head to toe
1) Mules
2) Choker
3) Pedal pusher
4) Bustier
Spoiler
Only knew what a choker and a bustier were (thanks to Selena), and I figured pedal pusher would be something in the lower regions. So I figured a "mule" would have to fit somewhere on the trunk of the body or on the head of the body. Turns out its neither. It's a shoe. 2-4-3-1

I wonder if choice no. 1 was the impressionist Camille Pissarro (born 1830).
(I assume it wasn't Picasso, since presumably you would have recognized his name).

Yes! I think that's it. I think I remember a first name that started with "C", because I remember thinking, "Huh, that name sounds an awful lot like my friend's name Courtney Pietzack." I know it wasn't Picasso because I distinctly remember Fred pronouncing the "a" on the second syllable as in "hat" and not as in "dawn".

Anyway, so I guess I did put him in the right place, I just mixed up Hockney and Adams.

I believe the 3 vowels in Pissarro are pronounced the same way as the same 3 in Picasso...

Yeah, fairly weak argument on my part I guess. Still, the American pronunciations of the two sound fairly distinct.

Fisrt of all, I'd like to apologize for not posting earlier. I meant to be a regular thais last week, but fate had other plans.

1. Hocus Pocus
2. The Witches of Eastwick
3. Harry Potter & Sorcerer's Stone
4. something I don't remember-the order is 2413.

3. Put these dogs in order by average adult height, starting with the shortest.

1. chihauhua (ok, that's itty bitty)
2. mastiff (my uncle has one, it's a giant dog)
3. beagle
4. Old English sheepdog

I put in 1432 and heard Sad Fred. I think I reversed the sheepdog and the beagle.
I'm just a game show nerd.

out on Bob's loom/compound microscope/velcro/electric battery question 3 that appears on page 14 of this thread.

You know I've been studying these and some of them I remember ,especially some Q5's, but for whatever reason that one didn't resonate.
I put the battery first, even though the compound microscope is 1590! And the electric battery is 1800.

I will try tomorrow but it is pretty apparent I'll be rooting from the sidelines for all you OTC'ers at the end of the week.

(oh, other questions were order "A Streetcar Named Desire" and put weights in order from the heaviest: kilogram/ounce/quarter pound/half ton)

Greetings:

I've been at a conference since last Friday, so haven't been able to read through all the messages, etc. but, I remember a question about "South Carolina" that had people confused.

Well, it was MY Q1 tonight:
Put the following historical events in chronological events--starting with the earliest:

1. FBI created
2. Jamestown founded
3. Paul Revere's Ride
4. Secession of South Carolina (I heard "founding of SC).

After I got Sad Fred, I asked Hubby--what was that last option,
he said, "secession of something"--so maybe this will help!

--Becky :(

Out on Q2, but at least it was something I honestly didn't know, instead of something stupid.

Q1 Put these "products" in order of release, starting with the earliest
1. Polaroid Camera
2. Morse Code
3. beanie babies
4. cell phones
Spoiler
2143
Q2 Actresses in order of winning their first Emmy, starting with the earliest:
1. America somebody
2. Jennifer Anniston
3. Sarah Jessica Parker
4. Somebody Huffman
Spoiler
2341
Melly already posted this one, but I either missed seeing it or forgot it. I thought I remembered reading a discussion here that Anniston didn't get her Emmy until much later in her show's run?

Like Kazoo, I suspect "my night" has passed.

I posted it. It was what pissed me off. Aniston won before Parker even though Parker was nominated 3-4 times before she was. Only those two would be able to get that right. And, now you and I also, of course.

BTW, the other two are America Ferrera (Ugly Betty) and Felicity Huffman (Desperate Housewives).
