Out on one of my weak areas - Modern Music

Q1: Name the company

2. Juneau
3. Austin
4. Helena

Q4. Albums starting with the most recent
1. Back to Black
2. Spice
3. Like A Virgin
4. Unforgettable, with love

First thought #1 was the AC/DC album. Other than that I had no clue. #4 I figured was Natalie Cole but has no clue as to when it came out. I went with 4231 and was greeted by Sad Fred. I didn't see right away that all the albums were by females.

Dang, thought I had it today.

Q1: Put these doctors in order of what they treat, head to toe.

1. Podiatrist

NFC. Took a stab, got it inside out. Even GW the baker didn't get it right when I told her about it.

Spoiler

2314. I hit 1423.

I will accept getting to Q5, as long as I get past it tomorrow. But boy my heart was pounding when I heard the continuation to Q5.

Fred does speak faster. I can barely read my scrawls. Didn't have time to write entire words. Podiatrist and optometrist came out as "pod" and "opt".

Night 2-I made it to Q4.

1. Put these words in order to make a popular rock song. 3. You 1. Are 2.So 4. Beautiful

2. put these famous people in order of birth starting with earliest

2 McKinley 1. Sen. Joe McCarthy 3. Paul McCartney 4. Matthew McConaghey

3. Put these words in order to make a Rascal Flatts song. 2. What 1. Hurts 3. So 4. Much

Now for the one that got me-an anatomy Q which I saw posted IN THIS THREAD last night.

Put these muscles in order from top to bottom starting at the head.

I put 4231 and got Sad Fred. I think I goofed up the deltoids and the quadriceps.

Oh well. there's always tomorrow.

I remember that question from TOPG way back when.

.

To give more detail,

More detail

During the intake phase, the pistons go up, sucking air and fuel into the combustion chamber. During the compression phase, the pistons go down, compressing (and thereby heating) the air and fuel. The spark plugs ignite during the power phase, igniting the mixture and forcing the pistons up. The pistons go down again during the exhaust phase, flushing the used fuel-air mixture from the chamber and leaving the engine ready for the next cycle.

Spoiler

Bob, you've got the cycles right, but the explosions take place above the pistons, in the combustion chambers, which are on the bottom of the cylinder head. I've also taken out the pluralization, as the actions occur serially, not simultaneously.

Correcting your description yields:
During its intake phase, each piston goes down, sucking air and fuel into the combustion chamber above it.
During its compression phase, each piston goes up, compressing (and thereby heating) the air and fuel.
Each spark plug ignites during the power phase of its cylinder, igniting the mixture and forcing the pistons down.
Each piston goes up again during its exhaust phase, flushing the used fuel-air mixture from the chamber and leaving the cylinder ready for the next cycle.

Place these songs in order of release, starting with the latest

1. Oops
2. Born to Run
3. Joshua Tree
4. Black to Black, then hesitated asking myself if Fred said Back to Black, cost me time, it ran out - I would have punched in 1, 3, 4, 2, probably would have been wrong anyway, will have to look it up.

Just got back from google, it is Back to Black - like an old lady like me would listen to the Druggie, ha. So I guess it would be 4, 1, 3, 2 ?

Consarn it! I just got this exact question, and I brain-tooted it! My choices we listed in a different order, tho'.

Others:

Q1: put these geographic locations in order, starting in the west:

how do you use the spoiler thingie? I typed my answer and then pressed spoiler, but I guess that is wrong.

Out on Q4. The first 3 were cake q's. Trust me.

This got me:

Arrange these body organs by weight, lightest to heaviest:

1-Pancreas
2-Thyroid
3-Spleen
4-Liver

Spoiler

It's 2134. Probably everyone here knew that but me. I did 2314.

Crap. Why did I think I could do well on this show again?

What's killing me is that I am seeing Q4's and 5's that I DO know in these other posts, and I fear I'm gonna keep getting the ones I don't.
I am feeling really stupid right about now, as in "out of my league". I just have to remember that this has happened to me every single phone game period and I have made it into the pool. I made it the old way, too, with two rounds. Yup, I can do it!

All the same, I'm gonna go play L.S. where I actually know what I'm doing..I need some "comfort food" so to speak.

Too embarrassing to list my Q2, which I missed. Q1 was Salt Lake City, Utah.

Keep at it, T-Bone. I was an 0-fer for the first edition of Super Millionaire, and I know I can play this game. It's all in the stack, and your stack will come before this qualification period ends. --Bob

I read your post and guessed the same order as you before clicking on the spoiler. I won't mention that to my mother, who is a RN.

Yeah, like I said I go through this angst every single time and it has always turned out ok. And I know it's only been 2 nights..I'll just feel better when I can can sit back and exhale, is all.

I am looking around at many intelligent peoples who have also yet to qualify, so I am trying to shake the Chris-Farley-slap-myself-upside-the-head-"STUPID-STUPID!" syndrome

I got in the RoF the old-fashioned way many moons ago, so I DO know I am capable.

I'll trade you T-Bone. I knew your out-question and you probably knew mine. I think you're probably a little more up to date with modern albums than I am.

whata difference a day makes!!! Fred sounded slower and my brain and fingers suddenly got faster:

My questions from tonight:

Q1) Words in order, blah blah blah.
1. Foundation
2. Disease
3. American
4. Lyme

Spoiler

3-4-2-1

No problems here.


Q2) Songs in order of release by original artist, earliest first.
1. Little Red Corvette
2. Behind These Hazel Eyes
3. Blue Suede Shoes
4. Yellow Submarine

Spoiler

3-4-1-2

This really isn't too bad.....YS was late '60's. I know BSS is older than that. I'm a huge Kelly Clarkson fan, so I knew BTHE is 2005. I have absolutely no idea what year LRC was released, but there's a huge gap between YS and BTHE, and so putting it there got me past this question. (I'm not a huge fan of Prince, so I didn't immediately remember that LRC was him...otherwise, this Q would have seemed really easy from the start.)


Q3) Literary works in order (gulp!) of first publication, earliest first.
1. Poisonwood Bible
2. Soul On Ice
3. Black Beauty
4. Brave New World

Spoiler

3-4-2-1

Ugh. I know roughly where Black Beauty and Brave New World should go, but know nothing about the other two. I put them as the most recent, WAGged on the order, and got lucky.


Q4) French cities in geographic order (WTF!) from north to south.
1. Avignon
2. Paris
3. Lyon
4. Marseille

Spoiler

2-3-1-4

Holy crap. I know where Paris is, and remember that Lyon is down to the south. I couldn't remember where Marseille was, and I didn't even recognize Avignon when Fred said it. As it turns out, I didn't miss by much....just had Lyon in the wrong spot. Oh well.

Question 1:

Place these words in order to form the state motto of Nebraska.

1. Before
2. The
3. Equality
4. Law

Question 2:

Place these Bruce Willis movies in order, starting with the earliest.

2. The Sixth Sense
3. Pulp Fiction

1. 3124

It turns out that the middle two movies were released only one year apart.

So I play again tomorrow. --Bob

Only after I came out here to try to find out my mistake did I realize I fat-fingered it. The correct answer is 3124, but I put in 3214. So I'll try again tomorrow

You highlight the text you want in the spoiler, then click the spoiler button. That should surround the highlighted text with the spoiler tags.

I thought it was a pretty Marley-friendly stack! They didn't try any tricky "starting with the most recent" reversals or anything. The only one I needed to go with a hunch on was putting Caged Bird before Color Purple.

And no pop music!!!

Also curious that there were two duplicated orders "2134" and "4312" in the stack of five.
