I realize I'm overlapping with Johnny's Trivia here but since this is a one-off I wanted to post it while I'm thinking about it, and it can stay up as long as people need to have time to submit answers. Also, there questions have nothing to do with weddings, rather, each one is targeted toward one or more guests who were at my wedding. So it's pretty random. Good luck! (I don't know why anyone would be playing this who isn't already familiar with Johnny's trivia, but the process here is just DM me your answers and once enough time has passed I'll tally everyone's points.)
Oh, one other thing is we allowed each team one hint for one question, from a pre-written list of hints. I guess I could do that here too, just DM me which question you want the hint for.
1: In equine anatomy, where on a horse would you find its fetlock?
2: The Human Immunodeficiency Virus, or HIV, is a well-known retrovirus that infects people’s immune cells, causing susceptibility to infection if untreated. A similar virus in the same genus can infect house cats - what is its name?
3: In photography, what is the name for the opening in a lens through which light passes to enter a camera, the size of which is traditionally measured in f-stops?
4: In the animated movie My Neighbor Totoro directed by Hayao Miyazaki (High-yow Mee-a-zahkee?), what magical transportation does the title character use to help one of the children find her sister?
5: What do you call the schedule or table of payments consisting of both principal and interest when repaying a loan over a period of time?
6: Which NASA probe flew by Neptune in the summer of 1989, sending the first close-up photos of the planet to their Jet Propulsion Laboratory before heading out of the solar system?
7: Released by Namco in 2004 for the Playstation 2, which novel, award-winning game featured a diminutive prince on a mission to rebuild stars and constellations at the behest of his father, the King of All Cosmos?
8: What is the common name of the species Drosophila Melanogaster?
9: Consisting of poetry lines of five syllable pairs, each made up of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable, Iambic Pentameter is a rhythmic structure, or meter, famously used by writers from Chaucer to Shakespeare to Milton. Which of the following lines is an example of iambic pentameter?
11: American singer-songwriter Johnny Cash, famous for music that touched on themes of moral tribulation and redemption, famously performed concerts for prisoners. Two of these performances became highly successful live albums. In which two prisons were these Johnny Cash albums recorded?
12: Approved for use in humans in the U.S. in 1989 and sometimes referred to as the “milk of amnesia” due to its milky appearance, what intravenous agent is commonly used as a general anesthetic, inducing safe sleep with a quick recovery in lower doses while acting as a profound respiratory depressant that can stop breathing at higher doses?
13: First developed by physicists in the 1960s and 70s, what is the name of the theoretical framework that replaces the zero-dimensional point-like objects of particle physics with one-dimensional objects that have various vibrational states and exist in more than four dimensions?
14: Created by an Italian physician, scientist, and educator in 1907, which classroom philosophy of student-directed education encourages spontaneous investigation in prepared environments, and supports the development of intrinsic motivation for learning, interpersonal skills, leadership, and independence in children?
(Technically there was a 15th question with multiple points possible, but it was "List 7 of (Kirin) and (Kirin's wife's) top 20 things they’ve enjoyed doing together", which I wouldn't really expect people not at our wedding to know.)
