Ok. I failed to give Edge his points a couple of rounds ago so I've fixed that. AND I'll go ahead and give him AND Quade points for the beer question, cause some Gods decide they want to be vague.

Quade correctly answered the "Big Bang" coinager as Fred Doyle.
Quade was also close enough to the speaker question.
Nilrem guessed Jonathan Wild which is correct. I can't believe there isn't a movie about this guy. It'd make a really good one.

The movie question is still up though. Marlon Brando is incorrect. I went ahead and upped the points to 5 too.

ST8 - Who was the person that coined the term "Big Bang"? 3 POINTS
Professor Sir Fred Hoyle, although he believed in a persistent universe, and not one caused by the big bang. (sadly, I regularly watch the six-part Stephen Hawking's Universe on my computer while i'm working).

BT4 - Name 3 Gods and/or Goddesses of Beer 3 Points
MBABA-MWANNA-WARESA: African goddess of beer
YASIGI: African Goddess of Dancing, Beer and Masks.
GOIBHNIU: Celtic tinkering god. Brewed Beer of Imortality
SHADIPINYI: Namibian Evil God of Drunken Behaviour. Credited with inventing beer.
SILENUS: Greek God of Beer Buddies and Drinking Companions. Friend to DIONYSUS, Greek god of wine. (Although, Wikipedia says Silenus is a god of wine)


MUT5 - What is the major role of the box that a speaker is usually attached to? 3 Points
The major role of a speaker's enclosure is to minimize the impact of the resonance frequency created by the difference in the equilibrium position and the elasticity of the mounting structure.

It looks like I'll have to repost the rules. ONLY ONE GUESS PER UPDATE, UNLESS IT'S A BONUS!!! I may update it to two in the future though. Depends on difficulty.

Quade - ST6 is the Sierpinski Triangle. I remember programming this into my TI Calculator back in high school.

Knock - RT6 was the Macintosh. It had a whopping 128K of memory, and 60 Watts of power. Sales didn't take off till mid-1985 when they released a printer and PageMaker program.

Rulebreaker, I mean Edge78 - MUT5 is Les Paul. I'm surprised that one was guessed that quick. Funny story. When Gibson originally started making his guitars, they asked that their name be left of them. Hehe. Also considered the first to use multitracking.

Edge78 also jumped the gun on - BT4. Too bad only 2 (Goibhniu & Shadipinyi) are Gods/Godesses of beer, you don't get this answer. Silenus is the Greek God of Wine. Not beer. I've got 4 different beer Gods/Goddesses, so there are still more to choose from.

HT4 - Saint, you are correct. It is the USS Monitor. I never realized there were so many pictures of it. Pretty cool history.

RT5 - The only person to fill the 3 seats was Michael McKean.

BT3 - Sure. That'll work too. Thanks for the link. The answer I was looking for was ginger. I found your Juniper Berries BTW. I'll give you a couple of extra points for all your efforts.

MT2 is Will H. Mayes. He began the first rating system, although it wasn't very closely followed. Not as much as it is today. Damn MPAA.
ST5 - Velcro comes from the 2 words, velour and crochet. It's funny cause the non-Velcro(TM) companys are not allowed to utter the word Velcro(TM). Damn words that were originally supposed to be specific brand names.
HT4 - That IS the Jamestown settlement. At least as close as they could come with out fancy computers. Damn.....Indians.

I'm going to say that Quade is correct. Even though some think the Hsia/Xia dynasty as mythical, there is enough evidence of it being an actual dynasty in my eyes. They had Bronze weapons, irrigation channels, domesticated animals. They cultivated wheat, millet, etc. The Hsia actually did use written symbols, but Shang had a more advanced form of writing.

Also Quade got eggplant right.

Saint has racked up some serious points with this round. He got all the bonuses correct, but did not get the non-bonus correct.

EDIT _ Quade, I originally thought you were incorrect, but I researched deeper. Using black or chocolate is another way of making a dark, and gives it it's unique flaver. The typical way, my answer, was to roast the barley before brewing.

I'll post the bonus questions, but probably won't have time to update these till tomorrow afternoon. Sorry.
