This week, it’s not all black and white, because Hallie has written six trivia questions about various shades of gray, some of them rather obscure. We also talk American political history, music certification, and a terrible movie!
2:27: Q1 (Times & Places): What socialist political organization was founded in 1966 by Bobby Seale and Huey Newton and was active in The United States until 1982 when it was dissolved after controversies, internal divisions, and target efforts by the FBI?
10:12: Q2 (Arts & Literature): What is the original name of the painting now known as Whistler’s Mother, which is very appropriate for this theme?
18:39: Q3 (Everything Else): Thomas Gainsborough, an English painter of the late 18th century, is possibly the inspiration for the pale gray color of Gainsboro, but he also lent his name to a crater on what planet, which looks grey in photos and has more craters than any other planet in our solar system?
25:25: Q4 (Music): What shade of grey indicates that an album has sold over 1 million units in the U.S., 300,000 units in the UK, 80,000 units in Canada, or 100,000 units in France?
32:11: Q5 (Sports & Games): What Big For sports team, also the first to put players’ last names on jerseys, originally had navy and red uniforms, but now has grey, black, and white uniforms?
39:09: Q6 (Movies & TV): What shade of grey comes from a Philodendron species, which shares a name with the summer capital of Kublai Khan’s dynasty and with the titular nightclub in what 1980 film that became a cult classic for its old-fashioned storyline mixed with rock and pop music?
