Without Looking It Up (game)


Newan

Recommended Posts

Here's how this game goes:

 

Somebody asks a question.  It should be something fun but difficult to answer.  Without looking it up, you should try to see if you can come up with the answer off the top of your head.  If you think you have the answer, you can post it.  When you post your answer, also post another question for the next person to answer.  

 

After posting your answer, you can look it up to see if you were correct.  If you failed, your punishment is that you have to find a funny picture on the internet and edit it into your post.  

 

Example question #1:  

Without looking it up, name ten super heroes or villains with a color in their name.  

 

Example answer #1:

1 Green Arrow (DC)

2 Red Skull (Marvel)

3 Red Arrow (DC)

4 Black Arrow (DC)

5 Green Hornet (DC?)

6 Black Widow (Marvel)

7 Black Panther (Marvel)

8 Pink Pummeler (Dr. Horrible's Sing-along Blog)

9 Purple Pimp (Dr. Horrible's Sing-along Blog)

10 Green Lantern (DC)

 

And yes, I did think of Pink Pummeler and Purple Pimp before I thought of Green Lantern.  That's how many times I've seen Dr. Horrible.  

 

 

Example question #2:

Without looking it up, say something that rhymes with your 17th Shard handle.  

 

Example answer #2:

Mooin'

I'll start.

Question:

Without looking it up, name 10 fictional characters whose names start with "K".

1. Kvothe (Kingkiller Chronicles)

2. Kelsier (Mistborn)

3. Kaladin (Stormlight Archives)

4. Kilvin (Kingkiller Chronicles)

5. Kellen Tavadon (The Obsidian Trilogy)

6. Kar Vastor (Star Wars: Shatterpoint)

7. Kar (Mistborn)

8. Kastor (Age of Mythology: The Titans campaign)

9. Kon (Bleach)

10. Ki-Adi-Mundi (Star Wars)

11. Kirel (Circle of Magic)

#11 is just there as I was uncertain if Kastor actually went against the spirit of the question, coming from a game campaign, rather than a book.

Without looking it up, name 7 works of fantasy that don't have an article in their title.

Edit: Added more specificity to the question, since it could be taken as finding 7 works of fantasy that never used an article in the text itself.

1 Back to the Future

2 Back to the Future, Part II

3 Back to the Future, Part III

4 Men in Black 2: Back in Black (I can't remember if that was the subtitle or the catchline)

5 The Cat in the Hat Comes Back

6 Backpacking in Europe

7 Brokeback Mountain (haven't seen it)

Ok, 5 and 6 are books, but maybe they've been adapted. I'll check after I post this.

Without looking it up, name 8 fictional metals.

Just a general reminder to everybody: Don't ask a question that you couldn't answer. That's a good gauge to keep the questions from getting too difficult.

Ashiok: what's the four-man band? There's something on TVtropes about the five-man band. (Yeah, I looked it up. So I won't be attempting to answer this question.)
