QUESTIONS

SUPER BONI

  1. (12:00) Superiors — Listed were 136 underlings, from various realms of trivia. Teams had to fill in the boss each flunky was subservient to.

  2. (4 AM) 1970s Death Audio MP3 Posted November, 2009, only 28 years later! — "This contest is best remembered for Charlie Singer's brilliant music superbonus, done in a form since imitated many times: a 300 second tape sampling 100 songs of the 70's — teams were to identify the songs and artists (I remember that one team got 98 of them right; people had the hardest time with the last sample — the closing gong from "Knights in White Satin")." It was assembled in the days of reel-to-reel technology. Charlie spent something like 20 hours in the WCFM studio grafting together little 2- and 4-inch slivers of tape.
