Ben Day 1 v rando and Kim LLL

6/6.

1 :) Fast fashion. Plenty of the girls clothes come from here.

2 :) Suliman.[sic] Got it from magnificent. Suleiman entered my consciousness thanks to a Magic the Gathering card in 3rd edition.

3 :) Algorithm. I knew this came from an arabic name, and this name fit.

4 :) Ruby. Only language named after a jewel that I could think of.

5 :) Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Anybody? Bueller?

6 :) Grisham. I recognized client and rainmaker, but even had they not been there, I would have guessed Grisham.

Brian I Day 1

 Welcome back everyone.  5/6 to start the season right.

1) Fast Fashion 2/2 My first thought was a joke answer of quick couture, then realized fast fashion was a thing.

2) Suleiman 0/1  "The Magnificent" took me straight to Suleiman

3) Algorithm 2/2  the go to answer of algebra is in the question, and this sounds like al-Khwarizmi.  Hard to defend this, not really a math q

4) Java 3/3  never heard of the Ruby language. I hoped java was Japanese for amethyst.

5) Ferris Bueller's Day Off 1/1  It is his fault he didn't lock the garage.

6) Grisham 1/0  The question intentionally avoided mention of "firm" and "pelican brief", but I've read Rainmaker and The Client.  Didn't realized how many more books he wrote after I stopped reading him.

Jesse day 1, LL 100

6/6 to start the season! I started back in season 59.

1. Clothing retailers Zara, H&M, Shein, ASOS, and Forever 21 are examples of companies that employ what business model, a two-word term the New York Times used in 1990 to describe Zara's ability to proceed in 15 days from an item's design idea to hanging the item on a store rack?
Correct Answer: FAST FASHION
Your Answer: Fast Fashion
Points Assigned: 2

I know the term from it being bad for the environment. 

2. "The Magnificent" and "The Lawgiver" were sobriquets applied to what 16th-century sultan of the Ottoman Empire, during whose rule the empire reached its fullest extent with conquests of Belgrade, Rhodes, Iraq, Tripoli, and Hungary?
Correct Answer: SULEIMAN
Your Answer: Suleiman
Points Assigned: 1

I either know this from Civ, from reading a book about the history of the Ottoman empire a few years back, or just general background knowledge. 

3. Arab mathematician and astronomer Muhammad ibn-Musa al-Khwarizmi, who compiled early works on arithmetic and astronomical tables, introduced algebraic concepts to Western mathematics as a result of his work's translation into Latin. In fact, it is from the Latinization of his name that what common word in mathematics is derived?
Correct Answer: ALGORITHM
Your Answer: Algorithm
Points Assigned: 2

When I was in Uzbekistan, I saw a sculpture in his honor, as this is where he was born when it was part of the Persian empire. I know he was the person behind Algebra, but that was in the clue, so I had to guess Algorithm. 

4. Name the multiparadigm programming language first released in 1995 and designed by Yukihiro Matsumoto, who named the language after a colleague's birthstone.
Correct Answer: RUBY
Your Answer: Ruby
Points Assigned: 3

My company's first website was designed in Ruby on Rails. That is the only way I knew this. 

5. A red 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California Spyder plays a prominent role in the plot of what 1986 film?
Correct Answer: FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF
Your Answer: Ferris Bueller's Day Off

Feels like a gimmie to anyone of my age or older.

6. "Appeal", "associate", "brethren", "broker", "chamber", "client", "confession", "litigators", "partner", "racketeer", "rainmaker", "reckoning", "summons", "testament"—all of these words appear in titles of what novelist's works, which are perennial bestsellers?

David S Day 1

 Welcome back, everyone! Relatively weak 2/6 to start out the season. 

1. Vertical integration :(, D22. No idea. I’ve never heard of this term. 
2. Suleiman :), D11. Only gimme of the day for me. 
3. Algebra :(, D23. Bad misread since algebra was in the question. I wonder if I would have been able to get this had I read the question more carefully. 
4. Emerald :(, D32. I’ve never heard of the language Ruby. 
5. Top Gun :(, D00. I had no idea but realized this would probably play easy. 
6. Grisham :), D11. I recognized a couple of these.

LL100 Day 1 Dave M v Liz LLL

Happy LL100 everyone. Feels like quite a milestone. I wasn't around for LL50 (started LL57) so this is the first big round number LL for me.

 

And a 4/6 to start.

1 : ) Fast Fashion. Pretty straightforward business Q. D01

2 : ) Suleiman. Knew this through his repeated appearance in Jerusalem's architecture. D22

3 : ( Algebra. Of course it's algorithm, was trying to think of another al- word in maths but skipped over it for some reason. D13

4 : ( Emerald. Random guess of a precious stone. Never heard of Ruby as a programming language. D32

5 : ) Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Glad to get it as it feels like this movie came out later than 1986. D20

6 : ) Grisham. Close to a gimme literature question I suspect. D11
