Name? (Use one you're comfortable with us announcing if you are the winner) *

1) “Birds” and “Buffalo” appear on the track list from a compilation album that is considered the best-selling album of all time for its genre. Island Records released the album in 1984, three years after the death of what frontman who graces the album’s cover?

2) In 2022, a retired Olympian filed a trademark for his victory stance. The mark is described as “the silhouette of a man in a distinctive pose, with one arm bent and pointing to the head, and the other arm raised and pointing upward." What Olympian is it?

3) Betty Rizzo walks into a bar and orders what classic gin cocktail, which gets its signature color from grenadine mixing with egg whites?

4) “But the very best thing of all…there’s a counter on this ball!” That’s a line from the catchy ad jingle for what Tiger Electronics toy?

5) Pickles to Pittsburgh is a sequel to what 1978 children’s book that was set in the town of Chewandswallow?

6) According to Scouting America, this procedure is in place to ensure no youth member is alone, and it should be used whenever members are outside the line of sight of qualified adult leadership. Elementary school teachers love it for field trips, too. What is it?

7) In 1827, a letter addressed to “Unsterbliche Geliebte,” or “Immortal Beloved,” was discovered in a secret drawer in a Vienna apartment. The letter had never been sent, and its author had died earlier that year. Ever since its discovery, scholars have debated the identity of the intended recipient. Who composed this much-discussed love letter?

8) The band that Keanu Reeves plays bass in and a sobriquet for the brightest object in Canis Major are the same (though the former is spelled as one word). That name also describes a character found in each of the previous answers. What is it?

By checking the button below I promise that I have not looked up any answers to the previous questions. Also, I promise that, if I chose to collaborate with a team, that team is "small" by my own personal definition and also that this is my team's only submission this week. *
