TD 466 - Pink Floyd (all questions revealed)

Post by Ironhorse »

Welcome to TD 466! These clues are loosely based on Pink Floyd songs - no knowledge of music is required for this quiz.

Rules/Notes
1) Lowest point total wins; your score for each question is equal to the total number of players submitting that same answer
2) You may use one drop and take zero points for one question
3) You may elect to take the "sheep" (most popular) answer for one question
4) Wrong responses are the "sheep" answer +3
5) Ten correct answers with no wrong answers, sheep, or drops will result in a -4 point bonus.
6) All answers are due by 4 PM Eastern time on Wednesday, September 29, 2021
7) Don't cheat.
8) Submit here: https://forms.gle/KKZmFgjGkP1aeH3e7

5. Time

Answer one of these questions relating to the measurement of time.

He was the first man to run a mile in under four minutes Roger Bannister
525,600 minutes are in a year, according to a song from this hit musical Rent
The title of this 2014 Fall Out Boy hit indicates how long the song’s narrator expects to be remembered Centuries
The Doomsday Clock set by this organization currently projects us at 100 seconds till midnight Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists
Methuselah has the longest lifespan of any man in the Bible; specifically, this many years 969
Word for a five year period; taken from the five years in between censuses in the Roman Empire Lustrum
This wildly popular video game created by North Carolina company Epic Games is a homophone of a certain measure of time Fortnite
The only one of the 48 contiguous US states that does not recognize Daylight Savings Time Arizona
The Guinness Book of World Records recognized “You Suffer” by this band as the shortest song ever recorded, at 1.316 seconds in length. Napalm Death

Interesting results here. Only five of the questions were correctly answered, and we have a trio of co-sheeps:

Roger Bannister - 5 (co-sheep)
Peachbox, Rackme32, clprez, heppm01, AFRET CMS

Fortnite - 5 (co-sheep)
floridagator, clt013, Vermonter, econgator, classicroadster

MattKnowles, MarkBarrett, squarekara, Woppy T, mahatma

Rent - 3
gamawire, choppernewt, Leander

969 - 3
SBurrus, merica, beansandcornbread

Incorrect - Woof (Union of Concerned Scientists), Lefty (quintennium)*

Unused - Centuries, Napalm Death, Lustrum, Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists

*I would have accepted "quinquennium" as an alternative answer, but "quintennium" does not appear to be a widely accepted term.

Scores after 5:

1. merica - 13
2. Peachbox - 14
3. MattKnowles, beansandcornbread - 15
5. mahatma, classicroadster, choppernewt - 16

12. Lefty, threearruda - 18
14. Vermonter - 19
