David S Day 19

 4/6. Disappointed because I thought I might have had all 6. 

1. Riverdance :(, D13. Not really sure if this counts as a group, but it was certainly the best guess I could come up with. I definitely wasn’t confident. 
2. Svalbard :), D32. Gimme for me, but I suspect this plays hard. 
3. Sharp :(, D22. Of course! I felt really good about this answer, but of course it was Zenith. 
4. Australian Rules Football :), D01. Gimme.
5. Sativa :), D11. Offered without comment. 
6. Tiananmen Square :), D20. Happy to get this. I was debating it a lot, but the year seemed to make sense. Now that I’ve submitted, I Googled the history of this. 

Brian Day 18 vs Seif (LLL)

 4/6

1) Red Cross 3/2  Esperanto never crossed my mind.  I knew the italicized words were a clue but couldn't decipher it.  A lot easier than i thought

2) Capacitance 0/2  physics gimme, i think capacity will be the MCW

3) Merkel 2/1  If there weren't a Patriots question, I'd have given Dave a zero here

4) Rans 2/0  On first read, I thought this was asking for the team who defeated the Pats twice, and didn't know why he said the location was not required.  Once I had my coffee, it made sense

5) Utopia 1/1  Well that's unfortunate

6) De Niro, Pesci 1/3  Irishman = De Niro and Scorcese; 1990 & 1995 = Goodfellas and Casino.  I'm a little worried the Goodfellas question from pub trivia last night will still be on Dave's mind.  

Congrats Dave!!!  A crushing 8(5)-4(4) defeat for me.

3/6

1. To promote international cooperation (kunlaboron) and world peace (mondpacon), what did Polish physician (pola kuracisto) L. L. Zamenhof invent in 1887?
Correct Answer: ESPERANTO
Your Answer: Esperanto
Points Assigned: 2

When my daughter was 7 she started learning Esperanto on Duolingo. She did not make it very far. That would have looked odd on a college application. 

2. In electrical engineering, what's the most common (and precise) term for the property of a conductor or circuit, measured in farads (F), that is defined as its ability to store and release electric charge?
Correct Answer: CAPACITANCE
Your Answer: Capacity
Points Assigned: 3

I am guessing my answer won't be acceptable. I have never heard of the word. 

3. Who is the most famous person today to have earned a doctorate in physics from the Academy of Sciences of the GDR in East Berlin in 1986, working for a time as a researcher before she decided to shift careers a few years later?
Correct Answer: ANGELA MERKEL

Gimmie?

4. In their six Super Bowl wins, the New England Patriots defeated five other franchises. Name the one franchise that the Patriots defeated twice. Note, only the team name (e.g., "Patriots") is needed—the team's location is not required.
Correct Answer: (ST. LOUIS/LOS ANGELES) RAMS
Your Answer: Rams
Points Assigned: 2

The clue pointed towards a team that moved. I could remember one of the Patriots v Rams wins, so that was enough for me to go with them. The only other team that moved is the Raiders. 

5. What idealized land of rural contentment, literally a mountainous district in the southern Greek Peloponnese, provides the title for Sir Philip Sidney's 1590 prose romance and Tom Stoppard's 1993 stage play?
Correct Answer: ARCADIA
Your Answer: Nafplio
Points Assigned: 1

I had no idea. My company runs a tour of Greece, and on the Peloponnese we stay in the city of Nafplio. My opponent is amazing at Theatre and film, hence the low score for what I felt was the most difficult question. 

6. The 2019 movie The Irishman was the fourth cinematic appearance of what acting duo with that movie's director? They previously appeared together in his movies in 1980, 1990, and 1995. (Note: Name the acting duo.)

I knew both De Niro and Pacino were in the Irishman.
