Answers for Super Bonus 2 - Social Networks

Super 2, Social Networks was headed up by Brian Hirshman, with significant portions by me and Katie Bram. Well, we thought that the fill-in-the-blank networks would work, and at least for our adaption of Franco Moretti's Hamlet diagram, it seemed to do pretty well (i.e., some teams just got Hamlet, some got a handful of major characters, some got more than that, some got almost everything). It seems, though, that the supporting characters of Jane Eyre are not nearly so well ingrained in players' minds: several teams got that Jane was in the center, but answers beyond that were scare. The diagram of the great bop/fusion groups centering on Miles Davis, John Coltran, Charlie Parker, et al. faced a similar fate, and only Polar Vortex (who might have just found the original MoMA diagram) got any artists. The smaller diagrams were similarly baffling. (At least a few of you watch Supernatural.)

The second half of the bonus prompted more correct answers, at least beginning around question 90. (One team, by the way, said that this bonus often read like someone's graduate thesis. That is not entirely inaccurate.) You all may not have known about Erdos-Renyi, but you do know about KONY2012. Still, scores overall were pretty low outside of Googlers, which is why a lot of the bonus score ended up relying upon the Twitter challenge, on which I'll let Brian reflect. One erratum: Pauline Kael was misidentified as an actress rather than a critic.
