They were all answers in the same quiz.
O I don’t know.
They’re all nouns?
I can think of an infinite number of things they don’t have in common.
@TheFLP I don’t know about that. Maybe if they were all the same type of noun, but 2/3 are proper nouns, and the rest are inappropriate nouns.
Good guess though
@TheFLP The question in question would indicate that these items have at least one thing in common, so the best you can do would be infinite minus 1.
Damn, this is gonna gnaw on my brain forever.
But even factoring in the JFK Camelot meme, I can’t do a thing with French cars, the US Marine Corp (and/or the FBI), or yellow fever.
“Renault” could be Captain Renault from Casablanca instead.
Ophelia by way of Asimov’s Guide to Shakespeare?
@TheFLP This is too much thinking for me but I wanted to give you moral support.

/giphy you can do it
@sammydog01
I worry this is too much thinking on my part, too.
Pronoun … I, Robot?
@TheFLP
I don’t know the JFK Camelot meme.
The French car question had something to do with Nissan and ownership between the two companies.
Quantico was in a question that mentioned the FBI.
The flag question was generic.
I like the pronoun and “I, Robot” connection, but I don’t see the rest.
The quiz is from Periscope user “a9630.” I think the answer will be revealed tonight at 10:00 pm EST. I’ll post it here too.

@eonfifty
Umm, so these were answers to some questions? And you didn’t think it important to tell us what those questions are?

@eonfifty @TheFLP

/giphy we’re waiting
@TheFLP
Umm… I didn’t think it was necessary.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@sammydog01 @TheFLP

I am waiting too. The guy hasn’t done his quiz show yet.
/giphy I’m waiting too
@sammydog01 @TheFLP

I reviewed the video. The answer will not be revealed until Thursday or Friday.

@eonfifty
Wellllll, when you’re trying to make sense out of a mixed bag of @#$% nouns, a little context goes a long way.
@TheFLP IDK. Sometimes too much information can be a hindrance. Regardless: Hamlet’s girlfriend, capitol of Scotland, biggest shareholder of Nissan, small town near the FBI, I forget, what animal is lupine, what is the cleared quarantine flag, authorship, I forget specifics, lineage question.
There are still two and a half days to work on this.
Here is all I have:
Further, the quiz is conducted from a phone box in Scotland, and the quizmaster might be Scottish. If you can make international phonecalls, you can play the quiz yourself.

I’ll take “What are 9 things that have absolutely nothing in common?” for $500, Alex.
I’m just not nearly that smart, but good luck!!
/giphy all were wrong

@cattylaq

Did you get the answer?
/image did you get the answer
Seem to all be related to tv or film.
Did you know
Carry on.
Also, an RPG called King Arthur Pendragon, or Pendragon for short has a few of the terms including Wolves, Sir Renauld and Yellow Death (sometimes known as Yellow Jack). Can’t find them all though.
@kdemo

I don’t know what this means.
/giphy what is this
@eonfifty - I don’t either.
They’ve all had cameos in various knock-knock jokes?
this is EASY! they all start with letters on the top row (of letters) on a keyboard!!
@LemonTheCat

What about Arthur Pendragon?
/giphy what about Arthur Pendragon
@eonfifty pendragon - the P. if you go through them, there is one of each letter on that row of the keyboard.
and if not… maybe they’re just all some sort of multidimensional related things… or something
i tried!!!
@eonfifty @LemonTheCat
If they’d used the T and the U, I’d accept Arthur as the first key on the second row…
But really, at this point I’d accept a drunk monkey screaming about Shakespeare.
@LemonTheCat You are correct! Turns out the answer to question nine is Uther Pendragon, not Arthur. I missed that subtlety in the translation.
Sorry @sammydog01 @TheFLP
@LemonTheCat, you are brilliant!!!
@eonfifty @sammydog01 @TheFLP @kdemo
Holy mackerel!

Thank you!
Woohoo!!
