Secondary FJ! poll for the 7/21/14 week
I decided to make a secondary poll to handle the various combinations for the Wednesday - Friday FJ! clues.

Missed FB; what a strange name for a freshman! I thought; "Yahoo"

Re: Secondary FJ! poll for the 7/21/14 week
I had no idea on the Harry Potter FJ, but I had heard the term and figured that the correct response was from Harry Potter when I saw the clue. I have only seen one of the Harry Potter movies (I forget which one) because my 12th grade English teacher showed it to our class. He also let us watch the first Pirates of the Caribbean and Titanic (yes, he turned the television away from us and fast forwarded through that scene).

Re: Secondary FJ! poll for the 7/21/14 week
Never read or seen Hunger Games. I don't think I was aware that they were books first until it came up in a clue not too long ago.
Read Harry Potter up to Goblet of Fire, and saw the first movie, before deciding it wasn't for me.
Been on Facebook about four years, never seen Social Network.

Re: Secondary FJ! poll for the 7/21/14 week
Not a huge fan of any of the books, but I had to read one (or 3 for HP - I drew the line when they got to be 700 pages) to know...Only saw one HP movie, but I'm interested enough in how HG turns out to see the rest of those movies. I believe I knew about muggles before I ever picked up the book. I barely remembered Katniss's name even though I'm familiar with it.
Not a Facebook fan either, but I have an account. I don't remember the clue's fact from the movie, but I feel like I've read 100 articles that mentioned it.
I've never read or seen any of the Twilight saga, so I guess I'm lucky there was no FJ on that this week!

I think you should have had as one choice:
I have been a Harvard freshman and I was correct on the Friday FJ! clue

Seriously, a fun poll. I've never seen any of the movies or read any of the books, missed Katniss but got muggle. I am a Facebook member, did not see the movie but got the FJ.
To round out the week, I am a Protestant but missed that one. I have never been to Paris but got the Eiffel Tower.

Re: Secondary FJ! poll for the 7/21/14 week
I've read all 7 Harry Potter books multiple times (I had a habit of rereading the series every time a new book came out...I'm almost literally having to keep myself from rereading the series again right now until I get a bit farther along my reading list backlog), and seen all 7 movies (also multiple times, even the 4th which I've never been too fond of). After about a year or so of waiting out for various reasons, I finally started reading "The Hunger Games" the day I went to the midnight showing (my family had gotten tickets, they were already huge fans), and eventually read all three. I've seen the two movies. And...I've been a regular FB user since 2008 (though with a 2-year hiatus up until about two months ago). Plus I love "The Social Network" and even bought the DVD to watch it more often.
Basically, all three of those clues, I had a huge head start. Thankfully I used it well.

Never seen/read Harry Potter or the Hunger Games, but I have seen The Social Network and am on Facebook.
Ironically, this poll comes a day after a friend recommended I read the Harry Potter series.

Re: Secondary FJ! poll for the 7/21/14 week
I haven't read The Hunger Games and haven't seen the movies. I was pretty sure the clue referred to the heroine of the books, but didn't know the name.

Re: Secondary FJ! poll for the 7/21/14 week
I've read maybe the first 50 pages of the first Harry Potter book and seen bits and pieces of the movies as they've aired on television. I've read none of Suzanne Collins's series nor seen any part of the movie beyond ads. And I've never seen The Social Network but am on Facebook (joined in fall 2004 and was already a little late to the party at that point). Got all three of the related FJs right.

Re: Secondary FJ! poll for the 7/21/14 week
Got all three of the FJ's right. I usually miss the contemporary fiction questions on the J! tests, so, when I went for my May 2012 audition in Chicago, I made sure to remember the main character in and author of The Hunger Games (though I don't think it came up). I picked up the archery connection somewhere along the way. I've seen the first four or five Harry Potter movies. Not on Facebook, but I saw The Social Network which I think helped me get the correct response.

0-fer on the Hunger Games, but I know enough about it to make it a silly miss. I have read/seen Harry Potter, but didn't get muggle either. I got Facebook, though.

Re: Secondary FJ! poll for the 7/21/14 week
I think this poll will be hard to interpret because some (many?) people have given logically impossible combinations of answers.
For example, checking "I have seen the movie X and I got it correct", but not checking either "I have read the book X and I got it correct" or "I have not read the book X and I got it correct". Something must be false in this situation.
