2A. Charlie Watkins had a music shop in Balham, London, and was already known for his guitar amplifiers and the Copicat tape echo unit when he started working on festival PA systems.

3Q. Tommy Walker is better known as….?

3A. Tommy the Toe
Tommy Walker was "Tommy the Toe", the University of Southern California Trojan marching band's drum major who would tear off his uniform jacket, throw his baton to the ground and rush from the stands onto the field to kick conversions for the cardinal and gold. The fans adored Walker, as did the media. To one sportswriter, Walker was "The Caliph of Conversion."

4Q. Who is the only person nominated for an Oscar, Grammy, Golden Globe and Nobel Prize?

4A. Bono

5Q. What is the longest Organ Recital ever played?

5A. Paul Derrett gained an entry in the 1975 Guinness Book of Records for the longest organ recital ever given - sponsored for charity, it ran for over 80 hours and included no repeats!

6Q. Who made P.O.S. beer?

7Q. What do the shows “Leave it to Beaver” and “Desperate Housewives” have in common?

7A. Wisteria Lane includes houses used numerous times throughout the years. Their names include the "Hardy Boys House", the "Leave it to Beaver House", the "Providence House", and the "Animal House".

8Q. What is the slowest measured speed of light?

8A. 299,792,458 m/s (about seven hundred million mph). This is usually stated more compactly 3.00 × 108 m/s. The speed of light in a vacuum is assigned the symbol c (italic) when used in an equation and c (roman) when used as a unit. The speed of light in a vacuum is a universal limit, so real objects always move slower than c. It is used frequently in particle physics and the astronomy of distant objects. The most distant observed objects are quasars; short for "quasi-stellar radio objects". They are visually similar to stars (the prefix quasi means resembling) but emit far more energy than any star possibly could. They lie at the edges of the observable universe and are rushing away from us at incredible speeds. The most distant quasars travel at nearly 0.9 c. By the way, the symbol c was chosen not because the speed of light is a universal constant (which it is) but because it is the first letter of the Latin word for swiftness -- celeritas.


9Q. The term “Heavy Metal” was first used in writing in a review of what group’s album? Name the group and the album,

9A. The first well-documented usage of the term "heavy metal" referring to a style of music, appears to be the May 1971 issue of Creem, in a review of Sir Lord Baltimore's Kingdom Come. In this review we are told that "Sir Lord Baltimore seems to have down pat most all the best heavy metal tricks in the book". Creem critics David Marsh and Lester Bangs would subsequently use the term frequently in their writings in regards to bands such as Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath.


10Q The first time sin is mentioned in the Bible, who is God talking to?

10A. In the garden of Eden God is talking to Adam and Eve after they ate of the tree of life.

11Q In the movies, who was prisoner number B-1560-8?

12Q On the SNL band stage, what track number is shown in their Grand Central Station stage reproduction?

13Q. Part of these counties (in the lower 48 states) can only be driven to by entering a foreign nation. What are the States and Counties? There are two.
