| Round | # | Question | Answer |
|---|---|---|---|
1 | Which Spanish painter and printmaker pictured (30 March 1746 – 16 April 1828) is considered the most important Spanish artist of the late 18th and early 19th centuries? His most famous works include The Third of May 1808, The Clothed Maja, The Parasol, and Saturn Devouring his Son. That last one is pure nightmare fuel - I recommend not googling it. The biggest Spanish film award is named after him, as the first winner in 1987 was a biopic of the artist. If you aren't hip to your Spanish artists and film awards like me - It is also an ANAGRAM of an Indian physical, spiritual, and mental practice. In Indian philosophy, the six principal Hindu darshans (schools of philosophy) are Samkhya, Nyaya, Vaisheshika, Mimamsa, Vendata, and this practice. | Francisco GOYA | |
2 | What links the following seemingly random assortment of words? Print, Chip, Berry, Bird, Nose, Gum, Tooth, Poles, Zone, Grass, and Lagoon? | Can be preceded by BLUE | |
3 | Also the computer programming word for a data type that is used to represent text instead of numbers, which section of an orchestra is typically made of 4 instruments. The most expensive brands are typically Stradivarius, Guarneri, and Amati. One famous rolling quartet of this section is the Kronos Quartet, which has a rotation of musicians founded by David Harrington. Their concerts go on for 2 hours! So... now you know how long a piece is!!! | STRING | |
4 | If you were to average all of the colours of all of the galaxies in our observable universe, you would get the colour with Hex Code ""FFF8E7"". This "colour of the universe" is aptly called "Cosmic Latte". I use this colour as the background of my "Chestnuts" Substack because I find it calming and interesting - a key mission statement of the site. Chestnuts's Substack | Alex | Substack A fitting topper for a Cosmic Latte is found just off "FFF8E7"", at "FFFDD0". What is the more common name for this other Hex Code? If you haven't memorised all of your Hex Codes, I don't blame you. It was more of a way to talk about Cosmic Latte's because I think it's straight-up bonkers that the colour of the universe is beige-y. So to help - the colour I'm looking for is also the name of a rock group consisting of bassist Jack Bruce, drummer Ginger Baker, and guitarist Eric Clapton from 1966-1968. More clues? It's a food found in a White Russian, Lady Curzon Soup, and a panna cotta. | CREAM | |
5 | Also the name of the island that lies between Horseshoe and Bridal Veil Falls (in the Niagara Falls), Chevon is the meat of which animal? Half of one appears in the mythical faun (from Faunus, the ancient Italic god of the forests), half of one appears in the Capricorn symbol, and half of one appears in the Greek satyr. You may recognise the faun from Mr. Tumnus in The Chronicles of Narnia, or Pan from the nightmare inducing Spanish Movie by Guillermo del Toro "Pan's Labyrinth". Wow that's a creepy movie. | GOAT | |
6 | Beating "metaverse", the term "Goblin Mode" won the Oxford English Dictionary's "Word/phrase of the year" in 2022 - meaning “unapologetically self-indulgent, lazy, slovenly, or greedy, typically in a way that rejects social norms or expectations". This led to the word "Goblinesque" which is the aesthetic of hoarding and horde-ing. (Gosh I'm funny). While the 2020 word of the year was "Doomscrolling", the runner up 2020 word of the year is defined as the exact opposite of Goblinesque - "an aesthetic and design style that encourages adopting a simpler and more bucolic lifestyle." What was this runner up 2020 word of the year? Its design characteristics include vintage and handcrafted items such as clothing, candles, furniture, and needlework. To not leave you completely in the dark, it often involves fantasising about living particular feudal England's abode with enough garden to feed a family. | COTTAGECORE | |
7 | Rolex, Nivada, Brietling, Blancpain, Audemars Piguet, and Jaeger-LeCoultre are all watch brands that can be described with which demonym? One particular watch brand (owning Tissot, Longine, ETA SA, Breguet, Omega SA, and Rado) is a contraction of the demonym I'm looking for and the word "watch". Demonym, by the way, would be "Australian" for Australia, or "Liverpudlian" for Liverpool. While my feelings on the country overall are neutral - the flag is definitely a big plus. (Gosh - funny again!) | SWISS | |
8 | Pictured is which TV family, featuring a cast of benign monsters including Herman, Lily, Grandpa, Marylin and Eddie. They had a titular hot-rod "Koach" made from a hearse. What would we know them as collectively? It's also a German city directly east of Rotterdam, known for the 13th-century St. Paulus Dom cathedral, built in the Gothic and Romanesque styles. | MUNSTERS | |
9 | Which actress, born Brianne Sidonie Desaulniers on October 1st 1989, began her acting career in 1998 with a comedy sketch on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. She appeared as a regular in the 2001 sitcom Raising Dad and had supporting roles in the comedy films Hoot (2006), as Envy Adams in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010) (pictured), and 21 Jump Street (2012). Her breakthrough came with a leading role in the acclaimed independent drama Short Term 12 (2013), and the comedy Trainwreck (2015). For playing a kidnapping victim in the drama Room (2015), she won the Academy Award for Best Actress. She is now better known as a superhero Carol Danvers. She shares her name (phonetically, at least) with a fictional ancient settlement of Men in Eriador by the time of the Third Age of Middle-earth. The town is home to the Prancing Pony, where Pippin discovered pints, Gandalf discovered Thorin II, and Frodo created his pseudonym "Mr Underhill". | BRIE | |
10 | Also the name of the Rugrat pictured, what is the name of the 1988 horror movie CHARACTER played by Brad Dourif? His real name is Charles Lee Ray, but I want the name he usually goes by. It's also the nickname of the Ukrainian chess grandmaster Vassily Ivanchuk (born 1969). | CHUCKY | |
11 | What was the common mystery theme that links all 10 of your answers? Remember, the title is also a clue! Though this one is a bit obtuse and relates to the picture being taken here.
