Questions by Gerry Tansey and Adam Lipkin

1. People are decapitated by this device in the first Resident Evil and the second Final Destination movies. It's the focus of a classic video game of 1983, and a precognitive, sentient version of one can be found in the novel The Restaurant at the End of the Universe. Glenn Close gives Michael Douglas a blow job in one of these in Fatal Attraction, and Anthony Hopkins jumps on top of one to escape prison in The Silence of the Lambs. Most memorably, Die Hard fills one with a body and a sign reading "Now I have a Machine Gun. Ho. Ho. Ho," and Stanley Kubrick's The Shining fills one with blood. FTP, what is this people-moving device, which Prince swore never to let "break us down?"

Their album Kerplunk! sold over 500,000 copies without a major label release, and led to their signing with Reprise, who brought in Rob Cavello to produce their Grammy-winning 1994 breakthrough album.

The city's major island is New Troy, and the West and Hobb's Rivers separate it from the suburbs, including Bakerline. The downtrodden neighborhood, Suicide Slum, is watched over by The Guardian, but the city as a whole has a more famous protector, who lives with his wife on the main island. A 1978 movie showed the Statue of Liberty located here, but more recently, the WB has implied that this city is in Kansas, only 100 miles away from Smallville. FTP, name this fictional city, home to Superman.

Answer: Metropolis


4. The final part is a backflip followed by a two-and-a-half forward tuck dive off the springboard into the water. That’s the easy part.

From there, a reverse single flip back to the first springboard sets up the final part of the dive. FTP, what is this amazingly hard dive, which has only been performed successfully by Thornton Mellon?

His touchdown in Super Bowl XXXI (31) was his team record fifth of that post-season, but injuries kept him out of the playoffs in 1997, and he soon signed an offer sheet that the Patriots refused to match.
