"Okay. So is the theme "numbers that vaguely hover around 100"? Interesting, and sneaky." - [profile] prettypinkkitty

What can I say, I was feeling extra-mean this week, so I made a whole quiz theme for the sole purpose of putting mean, median, & mode back on the Quiz. Embrace the beauty that is math! And pray that I never remember how to do a differential! Ah, senility, thou hast robbed me of all math unmediated by my computer. How I curse thee.

"Is this week's quiz revenge on quizlings who have complained about the math questions on previous quizes? If so, I like your style." - [profile] meandstuff

If you check last week's answers (which have been restored, BTW), I did warn everyone that there might be a quiz on the math.

Due to the technical difficulties FR experienced last week, & because of CV's continued absence on the Isle of Monkeys, we have added a second guest moderator, my cousin [profile] katieledge (KL). She was a guest mod once last month, & volunteered to help keep this rickety boat afloat for a little while longer. So let's see what the 4 of us made of the answers provided by the 400 of you ...

1. Name the song & band!

"99 Decision Street.
99 ministers meet.
To worry, worry, super-scurry.
Call the troops out in a hurry.
This is what we've waited for.
This is it boys, this is war."


"King Theoden in 'LOTR: The Musical'. It's a modern version." - [profile] comingtoterms

"I wonder how many people will say something like '99 dead baboons'?" - [personal profile] littlemoose

(Just you. -AL)

"I want to say it has something to do with Luter's 99 Theses? *shrugs* I'm no good at music questions. I am musically depraved." - [profile] plaidwater

(Luther posted 95 Theses, & I'm hoping you meant you're musically deprived. Although depraved is good too. -AL)

"Why is it 99? What's so special about that number? The number 99 must have a pretty big head by now, what with it being in such a famous song. I bet it ditched all its old mates for celebrities like pi." - [personal profile] lizzyrose89

"Wasn't that from les miserables?
At the end of the day
we'll have 99 decision streets
And there's trouble for one and there's trouble for 99 ministers
While we're earning our daily bread
she's the one with her hands in the bread
and something about a war
" - [community profile] lostreality

(No, but interesting remix. +1. -AL)

"And, now that I've cheated and typed '99 Decision Street' into my Firefox address bar, I know ALL the words to 99 Red Balloons in English, instead of just a few words of the chorus." - [profile] sideviewhotel

(No no no, we'll not be having any of that WEB CHEATING. -AL)

(Give her a spanking. -CV)

"This would be 'Americans are too dumb to appreciate any song that isn't in English' by Nena." - [personal profile] mrbigsteve

"That would be '99 Red Balloons' by Nena. The original goes something like this:
Neun und neunzig luftballons
schnitzel dachsund Hitler bier
Schnapps und Berlin schadenfreude
Hamburger [garbled] Captain Kirk!" - [personal profile] linguafranca

"Das Lied wird '99 luftballoons' und ist durch Nena. Freuen für grundlegenden Deutsch! (someone had better correct my German, I KNOW it’s wrong…)" - [profile] fantom07

(Sie können ein halbes punkt haben für die Versuchung. –Herr CV)

(If CV wasn't around, I would have just used Babelfish ...
"The song becomes 99 luftballoons and is by Nena. Are pleased for fundamental German!" - AL)

"99 Duffballons (that rousing beer anthem sung by everyone's favorite alcoholic-beverage mascot, Duffman!)" - [personal profile] sanguinary

(+1, The Simpsons. -AL)

"99 Red Balloons by uber-'80s hottie (underarms not withstanding) Nena." - [profile] dpaul007

Correct Answer: Nena, 99 Red Balloons.

"I remember it because one of my T.A.s--a charming German woman who spoke flawless English and seethed with hatred for us because we butchered her language--used to bring in German music and make us try to transcribe their crazy lyrics. Like Die Totenhosen. Who also rock, German style!" - [personal profile] b7cy


2. Which war, which spanned 116 years, pitted the English against the French and featured the leadership of Joan of Arc?

"Imagine the scene: A white flag parlay with the English and French commanders.

Nighttime. Guards surround a lonely glen where men in plate armor talk quietly among themselves.

French Commander: 'M'sieur, how is it that you can insist upon this name, when the war has lasted 116 years? Merde, there must be a better name for the history books!'

English Commander, sensibly: 'Look, if you'd just stopped fighting sixteen years ago, we wouldn't have this problem! It's the Hundred Years War, dammit! Next time, just surrender!'

Exeunt. Notice that this event had immense influence on French wars afterwards, even up until the present day." - [profile] siobhan1214

"Can you really call it a war when you're fighting the French? It's like saying that you and the town bully fought mano-a-mano and you kicked his ass, when really it was more like you were throwing rocks at that geeky kid with the glasses until you finally scored a hit and sent him home bleeding." - [personal profile] sanguinary

(Should've known this question would generate some extra French Hate. -CV)

"They rounded off for convenience's sake." - [profile] marasca

"and Panama hats are made in El Salvador, what of it?" - [profile] dpaul007

"Wasn’t that the 100 years war which was started by the great defenestration of Prague? 'Today kids, we teach bishops how to FLY!'" - [profile] fantom07

"If I listen real hard, will god tell me the answer?" - [profile] melster

([profile] melster, you need to cut down on the sodium. See you soon. -God)

MILA'S HAIR: 'I can't even bear to be seen in this awful movie!'
CHARLES VII: 'Gonna kill you now.'
MILA JOVOVICH: 'Because I hear God talking to me?'
CHARLES VII: 'Naw, we can deal with Teh Crazee. But we've played up the sexual subtext between you and your men too much, so we gotta kill you off before you give into the hawt sexx. 'Cuz, y'know, you're a saint and stuff.'
MILA JOVOVICH: 'Oh. s'OK, God'll save me.'
GOD: 'Well, actually, I'm off to get a perm. Later!'
MILA JOVOVICH: 'Damn it!'" - [profile] _tumblweed

"Math was harder back then. They hadn't invented subtraction yet, so you just had to guess." - [personal profile] aki

(Even back in ye olden days, math was a challenge. -CV)

"the only fact I remember about it is that it started in 1337, therefore making it teh leetest war ever, d00d. R0x0r." - [profile] muzzyfeverlint

Correct Answer: The Hundred Years War.

"Like all group projects, they were a little behind schedule." - [profile] ellenneithernor


3. What Disney movie featured Cruella DeVil as the Bad Guy & a pair of parents with 99 children as the Good Guys?

"You're just setting me up for a Catholic joke right here, but I just can't think of one, because I'll feel bad about it. *shakes fist* Damn you Catholic guilt complex!" - [profile] ciara_belle

"was there ever such a fantastic name for an antagonist in all of the history of cinema?" - [profile] ajmcoqui

(I'd say Pussy Galore, but I suppose she wasn't really an antagonist, per se. But still. That's a name. -CV)

"Why is it that the bad 'guy' is always charictarized as male? Is it because women are seen as innocent and pure and incapable of being evil? Because certainly Disney features a lot of evil women . . . Oh man i could write my whole thesis on this crap" - [community profile] lostreality

"ACTUALLY, Pongo and whatsername didn’t have 99 puppies – they had like, 14 or something. The rest were already stolen by the evil henchmen. But if you’re going by the BOOK (yes, there was a book, my father read it to us when we were ever so little) there were 2 other grown up Dalmatians and they didn’t get to the number of 101 until the very end of the book when the 4th adult Dalmatian was found. I’d explain more but this answer already sucks." - [profile] fantom07

(Geez, shut up already -FR)

"Those dogs! So cute! Actually, I never watched the movie. I know, it's sacrilege, but what can you do? Sex sells." - [profile] prettypinkkitty

(So what you're saying is, you would have seen the movie if the dogs had been having sex? -CV)

(If that's your sort of thing, watch Kinsey all the way through the end credits. - KL)

"Did you know that Pongo's spots on his left side are shaped like Mickey's head? *is a geek*" - [profile] nekoama

"I really liked 'Ciento Uno Chihuahuas' better, though. Ay caramba!" - [profile] ellenneithernor

"how the hell those people ever took care of that many dogs, I'll never know. They'd be insane, like those cat ladies that turn up in the news once a year or so. Y'know the ones." - [personal profile] gruyere

"Wait.. Nena.. Joan of Arc.. Cruella Deville.. This weeks theme is people you have had erotic dreams about but would never admit to your friends about right?!" - [personal profile] tarpo

(Seems like you just admitted it to about 400 of your friends. -AL)

(Depends on whether you fantasized about the animated Cruella or Glenn Close as Cruella. -CV)

"101 Dalmations. But only 6 had names. The rest were given away to children who lost interest after a week." - [profile] lyzz13

Correct Answer: 101 Dalmatians.


4. What annoyingly repetitive song has a chorus that tells us to "take one down, and pass it around"?

(For the record, I would like to state that I utterly regret writing the question, because every time I've worked on the Quiz this week, I've ended up with it stuck in my head. The agony has been unspeakable. -AL)

"Actually, in my family it's '99 bottles of beer on the wall, 99 bottles of beer. If one of those bottles should happen to fall, what a waste of alchohol.' And now the bloody song is stuck on my head. And I'm thirsty." - [profile] nekoama

"'Tubthumping,' Chumbawamba. Take down a whiskey drink, take down a cider drink." - [profile] theworryrock, [profile] meandstuff

(Crap, now THAT stupid song is stuck in my head too! -1! -AL)

(We're going to have to operate to get those songs out. KL, give the patient 99 bottles of anaesthesia. FR, pass me the bone saw. -CV)

"It depends on which group of my friends is singing it, because everybody changes the title and lyrics and uses it to insult someone else.

"Dude, I am SO NOT sharing my beer! SO unsanitary. (plus I want all 99 of them for myself)" - [personal profile] ataralas

(You can have my beer. I hate beer. Give me ... -AL)

"99 Bottles of Scotch on the Wall? I mean, we can dream, right." - [profile] diimmortales

(... some of THAT. -AL)

"Forget how annoying the song is--try singing it with people that are actually drinking a bottle per verse. By 69 bottles of beer on the wall (a verse that is repeated seven times because it's funnier when you're drunk), it's horrifying." - [profile] silent_r_infork

(I'm no Nena, but don't you think calling my singing "horrifying" is a little harsh? And 69 is funny! You know ... 69 ... -FR)

"What's not widely known about this song is that the last verse actually goes 'One bottle of beer on the wall, one bottle of beer! Take it down, pass it around, then expire of alcohol poisoning because you've been part of a group that has put away 99 bottles of beer, and why were you having an AA meeting in a place that was stocked with that much beer anyway?' The reason this isn't widely known is that not many have ever made it all the way through to the end of the song." - [personal profile] hannibalv

(I never made it past verse 69. -FR)

"One hundred male excuses for screwing up" - [personal profile] verdandiweaves

(We usually only need three or four, actually. The rest are just names of brands of beer. -CV)

"It's a small world after all, It's a small world after all, It's a small small world. Now THAT song is annoying." - [profile] ovariescanbefun

"'99 singing brats on the bus, 99 singing brats, Take one out, punch in the mouth, 98 singing brats on the bus'... Well, that's the way we used to sing it." - [profile] ellenneithernor

"From my car rides as a child, I seem to recall it being something like 'If you don't shut your trap, I'm gonna turn this car around, and then you'll never meet Mickey Mouse!' but I could be wrong." - [profile] conjurdude

"Is there anyone in the world who doesn't know that this is '99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall?'" - [personal profile] gruyere

(I shall now post a calm, witty response to further trans-Atlantic ties - ::double finger salute:: -FR)

"98.6º. See, I always wondered about that. That's so precise. Like, who was the dude who had 98.6º as his temperature, so that Mr. Fahrenheit said, 'Ach ja! This is the right temperature!' Why isn't it just 100º? Stupid Fahrenheit. He clearly did the LJDQ, because math isn't his strong point." - [profile] prettypinkkitty

"I refuse to submit to your blatant attempt at Americanisation. Therefore I will now give you my answer in degrees celsius. Except that I... don't know the answer. But if I did I'd give it to you in degrees celsius! Yeah! Take that! Rage against the machine motherfuckers!" - [profile] limegreen_sloth

(Fair enough -FR)

"Depends where you stick the thermometer." - [profile] tophets_tool

"98.6 for normal alive people. Room temperature for normal dead people. 75.7 for normal zombie people." - [personal profile] whiski_sour

"ooooh. Living in celcius land, I don't know a whole lot of fahrenheit things. But I think I know this one. It's 98.6 right? If it is, I'll tell you how I know. That gum commercial! You know, the one that supposedly 'freezes' your mouth? If it was 98.6 degrees celcius in my mouth I'd turn it up a little to boil me some mac and cheese." - [profile] gnomeprincess

"Real Nerds Use Kelvin: 310 K." - [personal profile] ataralas

(We need to make a new award, because I'm getting tired of giving [personal profile] ataralas the Geek of the Week & -1 every single time. And no, I'm not EVEN posting all your graphs for the extra credit question. Sweetie, you need to go outside & run around for a while. -AL)

Correct Answer: 98.6º.

"See.. this is disappointing.. You could have had a Wayne Gretzky question here.. FINALLY giving us a little hockey.. but what do we get? Weights and Measures.. You make Canada cry.. I hope you are proud" - [personal profile] tarpo

(Actually, I feel a bit sheepish about forgetting the Great One's jersey number. But making Canada cry is more than adequate compensation. -AL)

(Heyyyyy Canada - ::double finger salute:: -FR)


6. What do you see yourself doing if you live to be 100 years old?

"dressing up as Death in a nursing home." [profile] shigogouhou

"Leering toothlessly at middle schoolers on dates." [personal profile] kerrypolka

(Why wait? - FR)

"When I was your age, young man, we had to drive the cars ourselves. And we had to go to the library to get books, and they had pages, and you had to turn them! And when you ordered things on the internet, you had to enter in your credit card information, and then you had to wait, sometimes a whole week, for things to get delivered! And doors opened with keys! If you lost your key, you were locked out! None of this crazy retinal scan nonsense you youngsters take for granted" - [personal profile] lotusbiosm

"Being bitter, surrounded by cats, and still filling up Livejournal with 'am still not Queen of word. Satan cheats at cards. In other news, I lost my teeth. Fuck.'... Which isn't all that different from what I am now, except I haven't yet lost my teeth." - [personal profile] shinga

"Well, i am sure i would spend a lot of time reflecting on the good old days, back when i was 85, or 60 or even 45, remembering what it was like to be young. I would also still be surfing around LJ i'm sure, what else could i do at 100 with my lack of mobility and fragile bones?" - [profile] jenny_1981

"Creakily typing out answers to LJDQ, cos that's how we did it in the good ol' days, damnit! You young whippersnappers had it so easy! When I was young, we had to DIAL into the internet. Uphill, both ways, in the snow." - [personal profile] ataralas

"Zapping small cloned children with my laser cane. Little bastards, stomping around in their aerodynamic sneakers all over my holo-lawn. I'll send my robotic cats after them, I swear." - [personal profile] princesskraehe

"And again I say, 'EVIL!!!'" - [profile] badgerbabe

"I was a math major in college. My statistics book had a large crease down the middle. This came from literally smacking myself in the head with it. Hate statistics. Just fucking hate them." - [personal profile] kenshardik

The mean is 99.52.
The median is 99.
The mode is also 99.
The submitter is a giant math nerd." - [personal profile] hannibalv


Most of you declined to play for extra credit, & that's OK. I've presented the material, tested you on it, & now your learning is out of my hands. I promise there will be no math on next week's Quiz.

On another note, I've proven that 1337n3ss is useful in the real world -- Despite getting a four-point answer wrong about the Hundred Years' War, of all things, I did get an extra credit point for saying it was totally 1337.

Hee.

There's a Monty Python sketch in which John Cleese plays a Hungarian, only the Hungarian-English phrasebook he's using was cobbled together by a very silly person. He's asking for matches, but it's coming out, "I will not buy this record, it is scratched." And it gets sillier from there. When the cops show up, he asks them to drop their panties, as he can't wait til lunchtime - presumably trying to explain his predicament - and then when he's dragged off to jail, he yells in a comedically foreign accent "My nipples explode with delight!"

When the headhunter mentioned the sketch just before I put my $.02 in, I had to continue the babbling. Just for him. Sorry to confuse.

Recently he revealed to me that he never gave a student a 69 as a grade. 68 or 70, but never 69, because teenagers are too immature, and will spend more time giggling over the implications of 69 then over the fact that they should quit their giggling and study so next time that can actually get a respectable grade (seriously, if I'd gotten a 69, I would have been ashamed, not amused). (And I made up the bit about studying, he just knew them well enough to know they'd giggle inappropriately).

*I* think he just spent too much time leering at the cheerleaders and he didn't like reminding himself of this when he gave them their D+.

Well, personally, I don't like to think of my father leering at anyone, especially not some of the very skanky girls that went to the school he taught in. And I think it was the male students he thought were too immature.

(So what you're saying is, you would have seen the movie if the dogs had been having sex? -CV)

Not quite - I was vaguely making a reference to the Simpsons quote, but in truth, I would have watched if the dogs had been having sex. Animal porn = teh funny! I mean, like pandas trying to get it on? Nature programs are hilarious! Ahahahaha.

And that is why no man will ever touch me again.

I noticed that you can't spell.

Or you're using a euro keyboard or something.
