Millionaires - Not Yet

As some of you heard, I had my second attempt at getting on Who Wants to be a Millionaire. Sadly, the test was just too hard, but I gave it a good try. Either way, it was a fun experience. Lorrie and Mike visited and also took the test, but no luck for them either. When we got home from the test we tried to recall all of the questions. Out of 30, we came up with 24 of the questions. On the test they were multiple choice, but here's a taste of what the test was like:

1. Disneyland is considered the happiest place on ___________.

2. How many hits on each side in a game of volleyball?

3. Who is Gordon Brown?

4. The rapper Mos Def, the Def in his name is short for ______________.

5. What is spirulina?

6. What type of animal is a titmouse?

7. What war time president was a Quaker?

8. What does a tachometer measure?

9. Who lead the Corp de Discovery?

10. Who is the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court?

11. What does a snood cover?

12. Trotsky was expelled from the Communist Party for going against which leader of the USSR?

13. Hagrid from the Harry Potter series is half man half what?

14. What composer had four sons who also went on to become composers?

15. What element do you add to fat to make it trans fats?

16. What monument at 29000ft was found 15 feet shorter in 2005?

17. Bangkok is the capital of what Asian country?

18. What two countries make up the southern tip of South America?

19. Broadway’s Rent was based on what opera?

24. The story of the Trojan Horse brought us the expression, “Beware Greeks bearing _______.”

25. Which TV show is responsible for the term "jumping the shark?"

Needless to say, on the walk home we came across a car bearing this bumper sticker. Naturally I was still mad that I had gotten the Quaker president question wrong.
