3/6 but not the 3 I expected. I sense a 3(3)-3(3) tie.
1) The Postman Only Rings Twice 2/3 Ouch this hurts. Knew exactly what it was talking about and fumbled. Though I did have a chuckle picturing Dave try to think of 1946 crime movie featuring Waterworld.
2) Michigan 3/2 I don't even know if I can name the entire Big Ten. I ruled out Indiana figuring this was before Bird's time. Turns out he went to Indiana State, not Indiana.
3) Mister Mister 1/1 Last week I ran a trivia night, attended by Dave (and Ben), and in a round themed "The Name's the Same", I asked a question about Duran Duran. With that possibility of it ringing a bell for Dave, I give him a D1. Also, pretty sure it's Wild Boys, not The Wild Boys, which is why I went with Mister Mister, just in case. (A question I discarded in favor of Duran Duran asked about the band which performed Broken Wings and Kyrie.)
4) zinc 2/1 Educated guess, but surprised I got it. I narrowed it down to three choices. Nickel as in nickel-plated, and magnesium and zinc because they can bond with oxides and hence, I assumed, prevent rust. I figured nickel-plated is nickel-plated, and Mg coating would be flammable.
5) Calamity Jane 0/0 I binge watched Deadwood a few years ago.
6) Sap 1/2 Relatively late submittal for me as I worked on this in the back of my mind, confident it would come to me. What a waste of the back of my mind. No chance, and I still don't know what shrive/shrove has to do with pancakes. (looked it up.. oh, so not the relation to pancakes I had expected.)
I eked out a 4(3) -3(3) as we both waste our zeros. Duran Duran did not stick in Ben nor Dave's mind. No one watched Deadwood, and I didn't watch college basketball.
