the NBA Draft, he had an inbound pass intercepted in the 1987 playoffs by a man he would later succeed as the
coach of an Eastern Conference team. He was hospitalized for an overdose of the sleep medication Lunesta in 2008,

two main characters in this movie, as a boy genius who thwarts the schemes of a villain who can inexplicably speak

He was the first player to hit a home run off Yu Darvish and he suffered burns to his face in 2009 when a firecracker
exploded near his mouth. His current team originally acquired him in a trade that same year with Josh Roenicke and
Zach Stewart for Scott Rolen, who would presumably be a defensive upgrade over this player. He has had more
success in the American League where he can focus more on his offense, with results that have culminated in a
career year this season. Those results include his fortieth home run of the season that he hit off Felix Hernandez in a
September game between Seattle and Toronto. FTP, who is this designated hitter for the Blue Jays?
ANSWER: Edwin Encarnacion
13. This character, an avid sailor, worked part time at The Bait Shop, in part to fund the buying back of his
boat the Gimme Sex. A comic book fan he has stated that Brian Michael Bendis is among the best comic book
writers of all time and even ventured into the industry himself, using his ex-girlfriend as inspiration for the character
Little Miss Vixen. A begrudging fan of the reality show Sherman Oats: The Real Valley, this character is mentioned
in the Drake song “Overdose on Life” where the rapper says, “oh me, oh my, them girls love me like [this
character].” He claims to have created the holiday, “Chrismukkah,” giving his namesake “starter pack” as holiday
gifts and is never far from his plastic toy horse Captain Oats. Memorable for standing up on top of a coffee stand at
school to tell his then-girlfriend “acknowledge me now, or lose me forever,” this is, FTP, what character from The

14. The original version of this song was released seven years before its more famous successor on an album
whose cover portrays the artist dressed as a king in front of a throne. That version of this song was itself
inspired by a 1937 Cachao Lopez song and includes a flute and a brass section. The better-known version of this
song comes after a track that placed higher than it on the charts and before “Incident at Neshabur (Instrumental).”
Several guitar solos and an organ solo are broken up by the few words in this song, which would be one of its
performers’ biggest hits until a track from Supernatural in 1999. When translated those lyrics instruct a mixed-race
woman to enjoy the rhythm. First appearing on Tito Puente’s El Rey Bravo and then after “Black Magic Woman” on
Abraxas, this is, FTP, what song by Santana whose title literally means “listen to how it goes”?

cakes to see if they have nuts and cornering a doctor to look at his arm. That character in this movie works
up a sweat while pushing a wheelchair-bound man half-a-mile uphill, an effort in which he is not aided by his friend
Justin who is busy hitting on Martha. The frequent misplacing of a bottle of what is believed to be Valium
negatively affects several characters in this movie, from the well-meaning Simon, who ends up climbing out of the
bathroom window to the roof naked, to Peter, who blackmails Robert and Daniel with lewd pictures of their recently
deceased father. Frank Oz directed this film, while Neil LaBute directed a 2010 remake starring Martin Lawrence
and Chris Rock. FTP, what is this 2007 movie?

and Emmy recite a rhyme and hold a magical scale to go to and from another world. FTP, what is this children’s
television show about two children who regularly visit the magical land of the titular creatures?

17. This singer performed the jingle “hurry on down to Hardee’s, where the burgers are charco-broiled”
around the same time that she appeared in an episode of The New Scooby Doo Movies as the owner of a
haunted candy factory. A disastrous performance at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas drove her into a deep depression
prior to the breakup of the group with which she is most associated; her later performances saw her attempt to
distance herself from that group by telling her listeners not to call her a certain name anymore. A member of The
Big 3 and The Mugwumps, she most famously performed in a group that also included Denny Doherty and John and
Michelle Phillips. Appearing on “Make Your Own Kind of Music,” “Dream a Little Dream of Me,” and “Monday,
Monday,” this is, FTP, what singer, who, as Austin Powers laments, was found dead in the vicinity of a ham
sandwich in 1974?

18. This man’s high school team had an historic season his senior year, allowing only fifteen points all season
versus a then-national record 824 points scored. A two-time All American linebacker at Tulsa, he would
begin his career in the NFL coaching that position under a man he would meet in the Super Bowl ten years later.
From there he was hired as the defensive coordinator under Rams coach Mike Martz, who would himself serve as a
coordinator under this coach years later. Panthers coach Ron Rivera served as the defensive coordinator for this
coach for three seasons, including one that saw him defeat New Orleans in the NFC Championship before losing a
Super Bowl in which one of his players returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown. As a result of that game he
became the first African-American head coach to lose a Super Bowl. FTP, who is this head coach of the Chicago
Bears?
