Puzzle Notes

Dear Friends:

We're sharing another batch of fun facts and questions from our AQCAGs.

Fun fact from Wrion & Carissa: In the Netherlands, baseball is called honkbal.

Fun fact from Adam: The first TV commercial aired on July 1, 1941 and promoted the Bulova watch company. (Adam also shared that he learned of his AQCAG status on his birthday. What a treat!)

Question from Martina & Erich: The tallest statue in the world is the Statue of Unity. In which country can it be found?

Question from Cameron: While the music video for this pop-rock song features characters from the 1999 film "Mystery Men," the song is now tied to memes originating with a different 2001 animated film. What's the song?

Answers: The Statue of Unity, which depicts independence activist Sardar Patel, is in India. The song, now tied to Shrek memes, is "All Star" by Smash Mouth.

Trivia Puzzle #21

Today's puzzle is from Forest Walker Davis. Forest lives in Eugene, Oregon where he runs several live pub quizzes as FWD Trivia, and serves as the quizmaster of The Conundrum, a weekly quiz show on NPR's KLCC. He is unreasonably fond of homegrown tomato sandwiches and people who are passionate about esoteric things.

This one is eight questions, and while knowledge of New York geography will help, you won't be stranded without it. Enjoy!

Until next time,

T.J., Karen & the AVCX Firehawks
