Brain Chain Quiz for Friday, January 12, 2007

Brain Chain consists of well over 3,000 questions and answers in eight different categories. Remember, Oddball questions require players to determine what three items have in common and pick out the "Oddball" -- much like the old Electric Company television show game -- except more challenging, and often, funnier!

For those of you who have not yet played Brain Chain, here are a few Oddball examples to get you started:

Question 1: Teddy Bear, Heartbreak Hotel, Hound Dog, Yesterday?
Question 2: Leonardo DiCaprio, Susan Sarandon, Kate Winslet, Billy Zane?
Question 3: Date, Malibu, Palm, Venice?
Question 4: Crash Davis, John Dunbar, Wyatt Earp, George C. Scott?

Ready for the answers?
Answer 1: Yesterday was not an Elvis Presley song [title]
Answer 2: Susan Sarandon because she was not in [the 1997 movie] Titanic
Answer 3: Date is correct because is not the name of a [famous] beach
Answer 4: Geoge C. Scott was not the name of a character played by Kevin Costner.

Got the idea? Good. Then here is this week's quiz:

Good luck and good knowledge!
