HS Round 2 Question 7

Ryan: Gio, pick a square

Gio: Dana for the block

 

 

Ryan: Dean, To the nearest pound, how much did 
General Tom Thumb weigh at birth?

Dean: Um...nine?

Cassie: I agree.


Ryan: Dana, Yoko Ono released a book in 1964.  What is the title?

Dana: Before I answer, I’d like to say that, sitting in the middle of the
top row, I may not be called on again, so I’d like to take this 
opportunity to express how proud I am to have been a part of this 
operation for the last several years.  You, VBS, Doug, RockTrax, and 
everyone associated therewith has been great, and it’s been a joy 
to contribute to NMG-HSH and other related endeavors.  
Good luck to everyone in whatever else you’re involved. 

(audience applause)

Dana: Now, to more important matters-at-hand…
Interesting question, Ryan –

Dana: Where is Chico when I could use his help on this one….?

(audience laughs)

Dana: I’m pretty sure it was named after a fruit.  Given how sour her 
voice sounds when she wails… I mean sings, and it sounds pretty
sour, like a lemon or yuzu, I think the book was similarly named. 
 I think the book was called “????????”, or Gurepufurutsu.

In English, that translates to “grapefruit”…or not.  I guess that’s 
for you to decide, but that’s my answer.  And it may be my 
final answer – time will tell.

Gio: Dana, if this will be your final answer, I will agree.

Ryan: It was Grapefruit. Circle gets the Block.
