| Question | The University of Louisville men’s basketball team lost their 2013 championship thanks to a salacious scandal where recruits were given strippers and hookers to “encourage” them to sign with the Cardinals.

| Subrealm | Time For Arielle To Get All Hot And Bothered |
| Question | Pita Taufatofua, the Tongan who appeared shirtless and oiled at the 2016 Summer Olympics and 2018 Winter Games, is, of course, the greatest athlete in history, as far as Williams Trivia is concerned. Even though he was undoubtedly robbed by the officials when he failed to medal in 2016, please tell us which sport he competed in during the Summer Games. |

| Realm | Here's To You |
| Subrealm | Mrs. Robinson |
| Question | The movie ‘The Graduate’ is definitely one of the most iconic and influential movies of all time. Of course, the main character is Benjamin Braddock, played by Dustin Hoffman. When we first meet Benjamin, he is on a flight to Los Angeles, having, we later learn, recently done what? |
| Answer | Graduated from Williams College. |
| Song | Happy |
| Artist | Pharrell Williams |
| Note | The book on which the movie is based was written by recent Wiiliams graduate Charles Webb in 1963.

| Artist | Paramore |
| Number | 14 |
| Realm | Oscar Bait Movies? |
| Subrealm | I Hate Mondays |
| Question | Garfield: The Movie was released in 2004 to an unsurprising lack of acclaim. It sits at a big, fat, orange, lazy 15% on Rotten Tomatoes. However, it does feature Bill Murray as Garfield. Why did Bill decide to take on this less than challenging role? |
| Answer | He heard that the writer of the movie was Joel Cohen - Cohen with an “h” - and mistook him for Joel Coen of Coen Brothers fame. (He has no such excuse for being in the sequel, though.) |

| Artist | Leonard Cohen |

| Realm | Dance Dance Revolution |
| Subrealm | It’s a bit peckish for a revolution right now, so how about Dance Dance Competition? |
| Question | We all love the Kirsten Dunst movie “Bring It On”. So does Japan! But, like many other American movies released overseas, the movie title was changed because U.S. slang doesn’t transfer well. What name, that Americans know for another reason, was “Bring It On” released with in Japan? |

The two-time winners are Pia Zadora, Sharon Stone, Demi Moore, and what other winner, the most recent one to win twice? |
| Answer | Tyler Perry (for Madea). |
| Song | I Love Trash |

Although 5,000 school copies were sold to schools in the region, the game has become extremely rare and only three retail copies are known to exist.

| Song | Man In Black |
| Artist | Johnny Cash |
| Hint | He hasn’t been seen much lately since the end of December. He will probably be seen in Las Vegas starting in 2020. |
| Note | The Raiders are currently still in Oakland, but planning to move to Las Vegas in 2020. According to Wikipedia, the first director of public relations for the Raiders "commissioned an unknown Berkeley artist and asked that a logo be created which included a helmeted man with an eyepatch, with the firm chin of a Randolph Scott, a well known Westerns actor." |

| Subrealm | No, They Don't Go To The Purple Pub |
| Question | Male side-blotched lizards compete for mates using a process similar to that in what human activity? |
| Answer | Rock, paper, scissors. No word if Spock is involved. |
| Song | Cover Me |
| Artist | Bruce Springsteen |
| Note | Side-blotched lizards are common in Western North America. There are three "morphs" of male lizards: orange-throated, yellow-stripe-throated, and blue-throated. It's complicated, but roughly speaking, it seems that Orange beats Blue, Blue beats Yellow, and Yellow beats Orange. |
| Number | 29 |
| Realm | Colorado |
| Subrealm | Home Of Your Host |
| Question | Nearly every college names some of their facilities after famous locals. The dining hall at the University of Colorado in Boulder is no exception. Which famous Coloradan is its namesake? |

| Song | Pieces of You |
| Artist | Jewel |
| Note | Alferd Packer was a Colorado miner who was convicted in 1883 of having killed and eaten his 5 companions during the winter of 1874. He was eventually paroled in 1901, and reportedly became a vegetarian before his death in 1907. |

| Realm | Picking On Penn State |

| Question | The Penn State Outing Club is a student organization that does exactly the kinds of activities you’d expect, such as organizing hiking and camping trips. But they were banned from a specific activity in mid-2018. What activity was banned? |
| Answer | Going outside. (The university decided going out on field trips was too risky.) |
| Song | Behind Closed Doors |
| Artist | Charlie Rich |
| Note | The Caving and Scuba Diving clubs were also shut down because of "An unacceptable level of risk." Archery, Martial Arts, and the Rifle Club were allowed to continue. In August 2018, the Outing Club was officially granted permission to lead day-hikes under three conditions: they go in the daylight, on designated trails, within 50 miles of State College. |

| Subrealm | John Oliver and Russel Crowe |
| Question | You may remember John Oliver’s purchase of the leather jockstrap Crowe wore in his film Cinderella Man, which Oliver then donated to the last remaining Blockbuster Video in Alaska. But what did Crowe do with the money he received from the auction? |
| Answer | He created the “John Oliver Koala Chlamydia Ward.” (Chlamydia is apparently a pretty big problem for the species.) |
| Song | Sex On Fire |
| Artist | Kings of Leon |
| Note | After Oliver bought the jockstrap, Crowe tweeted, “I think this is such a wonderful random act of kindness that I am planning now on how to best use the @iamjohnoliver money he spent on groin protectors and such. Given his often shown genuine love for Australians and Australia, it’s got to be something special.” Oliver responded, “As far as I’m aware I’ve never shown genuine love for Australians or Australia. At most I’ve shown morbid curiosity for it, the way a nine-year-old pokes a dead frog with a stick.” The ward is at the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital, in Beerwah, Queensland. |
| Number | 35 |
| Realm | Indian Seamen |
| Subrealm | No, This Question Is Not About Bollywood Porn |
| Question | THIS IS A THREE POINT PLAY. Let’s say that upon coming to India, you decide to become a seaman, as you’ve always been a strong swimmer and you want to feel the salty spray on your face for the rest of your days. However, bureaucracy gets in the way of your dreams! So, tell us: what’s the name of the paperwork that you need to have to be a certified Indian seaman? And, for the third point, who’s reading this question? |
| Answer | A Continuous Discharge Certificate. And those were Brian Wecht and Dan Avidan, also known as Ninja Sex Party. |

| Realm | We Love This Question |
| Subrealm | It's Our Preeecious! |

| Answer | Snap, crackle, and pop. |
| Song | Breakfast at Tiffany's |
| Artist | Deep Blue Something |
| Note | The fourth derivative is also sometimes called "jounce". It's reasonable to conclude from the names that the concepts come up only rarely in physics. |
| Number | 38 |
| Realm | Movies Tim Curry Won't Do |
| Subrealm | So, Not Loaded Weapon 1 or Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties |
| Question | When we ran our last contest, we mentioned that Tim Curry did Muppet Treasure Island so he could meet Miss Piggy. Well, this question is kind of the opposite of that. While Rowan Atkinson ended up playing Emile Mondavarious in the first live action Scooby-Doo movie, Tim Curry was offered the role first. Why did he turn it down? |
| Answer | Because Scrappy-Doo was a character in the film. |
| Song | Everybody Hates Me |

| Realm | Things You Can't Do When You're About To Eat |
| Subrealm | Math |

| Answer | Over half the members of a focus group thought a third of a pound was smaller than a quarter of a pound. |
| Song | Harden My Heart |
| Artist | Quarterflash |
| Note | Customers didn't understand why they should pay more for what they thought was a smaller burger. |

| Subrealm | Eating |

| Question | Ray Davies, lead singer for The Kinks, was forced to fly from New York to London and back again in one day, the middle of their 1970 US tour, to record two words. What were they? |

| Song | All Day and All of the Night |
| Artist | The Kinks |
| Number | 42 |
| Realm | Science Questions |
| Subrealm | We Ask Them Periodically |
| Question | Virtually every naturally occurring element that follows iron in the periodic table has its origin in the same place; where did they all come from? |
| Answer | A supernova. |
| Song | Supermassive Black Hole |
| Artist | Muse |
| Note | When light elements undergo nuclear fusion, they produce energy, and a start uses that energy to stave off gravitational collapse. But elements heavier than iron actually absorb energy when they fuse. So once everything lighter than iron is used up, the star collapses, and heavier elements are made during the collapse. |
| Number | 43 |
| Realm | State Vegetables |
| Subrealm | That Don't Hold Elective Office |
| Question | There are fourteen US states with official state vegetables. Oklahoma is one of them. What is the official state vegetable of Oklahoma? |

| Note | The Oklahoma Legislature officially declared the watermelon a vegetable in 2007. |
| Number | 44 |
| Realm | [sung] Arizona! |
| Subrealm | [sung] Where the Wind Comes Sweepin’ Down the Plain! |
| Question | The 1955 movie version of Oklahoma! was filmed in Nogales, Arizona. However, it was technically filmed in Oklahoma. Why? |
| Answer | The governor of Arizona at the time made Nogales an honorary part of the state of Oklahoma. |
| Song | Take Me With U |
| Artist | Prince & The Revolution |
| Note | From an article in True West magazine: Oklahomans were outraged to think Hollywood would shoot a film about Oklahoma achieving statehood in Arizona. The good people in Nogales stepped up and offered to allow Oklahoma to “annex” them until the film was finished shooting. The Oklahomans figured that was probably the best deal they’d get, so for a brief time Nogales, Arizona became Nogales, Oklahoma. There was another small problem or two. Corn wouldn’t grow “high as an elephant’s eye.” The University of Arizona’s College of Agriculture came to the rescue. Using steroids they developed some hybrid corn to fill the bill. Peach trees had to be imported from California along with fake peaches made of wax. Scenes had to be shot early in the morning before the fruit melted on the trees. |
| Number | 45 |
| Realm | Musicals by Rodgers and Hammerstein |
| Subrealm | Musicals Set in the United States |
| Question | What musical by Rodgers and Hammerstein that, for the majority of its runtime, is set in a US state, had the longest run on Broadway? |

| Artist | Billy Preston |
| Number | 46 |
| Realm | Flor-i-da! |
| Subrealm | Where The Hurricanes Come Sweeping Down The Plain |
| Question | We very recently learned that watermelon is the state vegetable of Oklahoma. Ha, ha, those crazy Oklahomans! Florida does not have a state vegetable, but they do have a state gemstone, which is the moonstone. Where in Florida are moonstones found? |
| Answer | They’re not. The moonstone is not found naturally anywhere in Florida. (It was chosen because of the all the trips to the moon that originated in Florida.) |

| Number | 47 |
| Realm | Recipe |
| Subrealm | For Disaster |
| Question | 7000 copies of a book called The Pasta Bible were destroyed due to a teensy little error in the list of ingredients of a recipe for tagliatelle. What was the error? |
| Answer | The recipe called for "freshly ground black people." |
| Song | Crush On You |
| Artist | The Jets |
| Note | The pulping was done by Penguin books in Australia. According to The Guardian: [The publisher] defended proofreaders for letting through a misprint that he suggested came from a spell-check program, explaining that since almost every recipe in the book calls for black pepper on each page it was an error he considered "quite forgivable". |
| Number | 48 |

| Subrealm | Boba Fett |

| Subrealm | Even Creepier Than The Eye Sculptures at Williams |
| Question | At The University of the Incarnate Word in San Antonio, there's a sculpture of 2 students talking; the female student is sitting on a bench while the male student is standing with one foot in the bench. Although the official name of the sculpture is “Classmates”, it has a much more accurate nickname. What is the nickname of this sculpture? |
| Answer | The Mansplaining Sculpture. (It totally looks like that's what he's doing to her.) |
| Song | Tell Her About It |
| Artist | Billy Joel |
| Note | A spokesman for the Univeristy said, “The statue has long-symbolized the friendship and camaraderie that develops among students as they attend UIW. We are deeply saddened that this image of friendship has been misconstrued as a symbol of sexism on social media. Nothing could be further from the truth.” If you look up the picture, you'll probably think a few things could be further from the truth. |
| Number | 51 |
| Realm | Medical Experts |
| Subrealm | About As Reliable As Homeopathic Bits Of The Berlin Wall |
