Correct Answer: PLANETARIUM
Your Answer: Planeteriums
Points Assigned: 1

Hayden made me think of the Hayden Planetarium right away. My opponent is from near NYC, so figured they would get it too. 

2. Give the name, in English, of any one of the four violin concerti that constituted what composer Antonio Vivaldi named, in his native Italian, Le quattro stagioni.
Correct Answer: SPRING, SUMMER, AUTUMN, WINTER
Your Answer: Spring
Points Assigned: 0

My opponent is weak in classical music, but strong in foreign languages. There are just too many ways to get the right answer.

Points Assigned: 2

I don't recall hearing of any of these characters.

I was pretty confident this would be right.

My first thought was Montgomery, but then I thought Atlanta might be right. I didn't want to go against my instincts and that was the wrong choice.
