IWS#179 - Happy New Year - The Results

[tyketime]

Nice turnout for the last I'm With Stupid of 2010 and the first one of 2011. There were four questions that were so simple even Stupid nailed most of them. And then there were two that split the contestants into those who watched the ball drop, and those who dropped the ball.

Here are the results:

1) Name a song associated with ringing in the New Year.
29 - Auld Lang Syne
1 - Happy New Year
1 - Jingle Bells


2) Name a celebrity that's synonymous with New Year's celebrations.
30 - Dick Clark
1 - Santa Claus


3) Name a party favor you might see at a New Year's Eve Party.
10 - noisemakers
7 - horn
6 - hat
4 - blowouts
2 - confetti
1 - shot glass
1 - champagne

4) Name a drink someone might have to toast in the New Year.
30 - champagne
1 - eggnog

5) Name a popular New Years resolution.
27 - lose weight
3 - stop smoking
1 - join a gym

6) Name a common place to ring in the New Year other than your own home.
17 - Times Square
8 - bar
4 - friend's house
1 - parent's house
1 - living room

I didnt realize there was a difference between noisemakers & horns. I assumed they were used interchangeably.

Stupid Time Square

Ah, nuts. I was done after question nr. 1, I've never ever before heard (of) that song.

After some googling and wikipedia (for whatever that's worth), it seems that the melody is well known overhere, but the (original) text hardly is. At the very least, I learned something new about other cultures.

[Raiders Army]

Hey, I knew I'd tie for the win!

[bhlloy]

Maybe as we have so many co-winners, for IWS #180 we can come up with a topic and everybody submits a question (somebody can take 2)?

[Raiders Army]

I agree. Maybe do a potluck IWS and everyone submit a random question or we could do a theme.

Suggestion for a topic/theme: Beers.

[General Mike]
