In a Q&H first, this week, Justin presents the first half of a double-sized, 12-question game, in which each question features one sign of the Zodiac. Sort of. You’ll figure it out. We also chat about a depressing play, ancient history, and classic video games!
2:23: Q1 (Movies & TV): Lolee Aries was a television producer who mostly worked on children’s cartoons like Invader Zim, Hey Arnold!, and Rugrats, for what American TV channel?
10:29: Q2 (Times & Places): What Roman military/government position, the highest in the Roman Republic era, was traditionally elected in pairs to serve a one-year term and held by Titus Statilius Taurus Corvinus in 45 AD and Taurus Volusianus in 261?
19:12: Q3 (Sports & Games): The Coleco Gemini was basically a knockoff version of what much more famous early-80s video game console, originally released by Atari in 1977?
30:34: Q4 (Arts & Literature): The final hours of cancer patient Dr. Vivian Bearing are the principal focus of what 1999 Pulitzer-winning play by Margaret Edson, which, despite its name, is not particularly funny, but, being only one act, certainly does have brevity in its soul?
36:41: Q5 (Music): Leo was the first name of what inventor, who founded a musical instrument company known for producing electric guitars called the Stratocaster and Telecaster?
42:02: Q6 (Everything Else): Virgo is an open-source application server that runs web applications coded in what programming language that was named for a kind of coffee, and has almost nothing to do with a similarly named “script”?
