NTN Encore Question of March 26th, 2011.
Played at The Frog & Firkin in North York, Ontario.
Headliner:...NUMBERS over Colors and Animals
Encore Question:...Moby's 2002 album '18' is so named because of:
Tonight I'm playing as ROCKET and LITBOX with Rob COSMO/ONJ, and Phil PLBAAB.
Here's how my game went and my comments: Tune Up...ROCKET...5000/5000...1st/5...our five sweep this round. .............LITBOX...5000/5000...1st/5...we go 1 for 1 in guessing this week. The LineUp...ROCKET...11000/15000...1st/5. ...........LITBOX...11000/15000...1st/5. I go 6 for 10 for a poor score. Triviaoke...ROCKET...17880/25000...3rd/5...COSMO wins and has 18550. ..........LITBOX...17870/25000...4th/5...I take one -250 this week and don't answer one. Rob had pulled me off a correct answer in the round before but in this one he more than made up for by getting us some 1000 before I'd even read the selections. Opening Act...ROCKET...27130/35000...3rd/5. ................LITBOX...27120/35000...4th/5. The Pound key round. I must have got 9 right for 1000, 1 for +250, 0 for -250, and 0 I didn't answer. Phil got us one for 1000. This was probably my best score in this round ever. Headliner...ROCKET...38630/56250...3rd/5. ............LITBOX...38620/56250...4th/5. NUMBERS:...1. In the 2004 single how many years does John Ondrasik of Five For Fighting sing about?--100...2. Which rocker sang about the 'Summer of '69'?--Bryan Adams...3. The 2006 album by the artist known as Prince was this numerical title:--3121...4. This young singer has released two albums '19' and '21':--Adele...5. Snoop Dogg, Warren G, and the late Nate Dogg formed this numberical rap group:--213 (the area code in Long Beach California)...6. What was the numerical title to RnB sensation Aaliyah's second album?--One In A Million...7. What pop artist released an album with the numerical title '0304'?--Jewel...8. The Plain White T's have only one thing to say in their 1-2-3-4:-- I Love You...9. In the song 'Love Potion Number 9' Madam Rues shop is on the corner of ____________ and Vine:--Thirty-fourth...10. Everybody's favorite metal band Slayer hit it big in 2007 with this numeric song:--Final Six
I ran this round and got us the first seven right and the last three wrong. That is the way to play if we have to miss questions of missing them together at the beginning or the end to keep the run of bonus points. The last three questions I went with 'Please say Yes', Forty-ninth... and Crazy Eight instead of the correct answers.
No studying this week and just as well as I was at a soccer game earlier in the day on this very cold day (to sit and watch soccer).
Now the Encore betting comes up. Well 50% as usual.

I'm pretty sure of this and tell the guys. I've heard no real stories of why he gave it that title. I own only one of his CDs and that was 'Play' with and extra CD included of b-sides for a large number of tracks. I must have looked this album over but never ended up buying it.
I don't think I could have run through the other answers and eliminated them. 'girlfriends?'--he's gay...'basketball number?'--isn't he short? Nope, I'll stick with my answer.
Correct Answer:....5. the number of tracks
[NTN Extra Fact:...You'd think that the song '18' would be track 18 but no it's track 12.]
