Category 2: Science

1. element of the periodic table - Hydrogen 9, Oxygen 6, Carbon 4, Gold 1

I am going to award 10 bonus points to Fishmonger, the only one to pick the element that is truly essential for life

2. name a chemical (that is not a pure element) - Water/H20/Dihydrogen Oxide 10, Sodium Chloride/salt 4, Alcohol 2, Bleach 1, Nitro 1, Propane 1, Sulfuric Acid 1, Carbon dioxide 1

I have to admit I probably would have missed water. And congratulations to Scott Howard for his greater-than-1 score.

3. Best particle: proton, neutron, or electron? Proton 12, Electron 8

C'mon guys, neutrons are used to set off nukes, electrons are used for the electric chair, and you guys pick the wimpy proton?

4. Name a single-celled organism - Amoeba 13, bacteria 4, Yeast 1, Green Algae 1, Paramecium 1

5. Name a type of insect - Fly 7, Ant 6, Grasshopper 2, Beetle 2, Arachnid 1, Flea 1, Mosquito 1

JustPlayingSmart gets the only sweep this round. Scott almost quadruples his total score:

Category 3: Music

A band associated with the '70s - Led Zepplin 9, Pink Floyd 3, Eagles 3, Queen 1, The Beatles 1, Bee Gees 1, Chicago 1, Kool and the Gang 1

A band associated with the '80s - Guns n' Roses 4, Duran Duran 3, U2 3, Metallica 1, Bon Jovi 1, Abba 1, The Police 1, Toto 1, Van Halen 1, AC/DC 1, Air Supply 1, Motley Crue 1, Michael Jackson 1

80's were surprising spread out as compared to the 70s and 90's; I though this would be a 2 horse race between U2 and GNR. Also, the same guy that put Air Supply for this category put Bee Gees for the 70's, and if he sends me 5 POG dollars promise I won't reveal his name.

A band associated with the '90s - Nirvana 11, Backstreet Boys 2, Pearl Jam 1, Rage against the Machine 1, Smashing Pumpkins 1, Collective Soul 1, Oasis 1, Radiohead 1, Dave Matthews Band 1

1,000 bonus points to gharp for mentioning the best band ever.

A rap/hip-hop group (past or present) - Run DMC 6, Outkast 3, NWA 2, The Wu-Tang Clan 2, 50 Cent 2(!), Eminem 2(!), Beastie Boys 1, Public Enemy 1, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony 1

A sad day for the Beastie Boys when both 50 Cent and Eminem beat them in a Best Group category

A country group (past or present) - Dixie Chicks 9, Alabama 3, Garth Brooks 3(!!), Rascal Flatts 2, Soggy Bottom Boys 1, The Charlie Daniels Band 1, Kenny Rogers 1

Sighing submitted his answer as "Kenny Rogers (no, I don't know any country groups)". If only he stuck with "I don't know" as his answer, he and Scott could have doubled their points in this category.

And 3 points for Garth Brooks. I am speechless. I would also feel remiss if I didn't point out one persons selections included Michael Jackson, Eminem, and Garth Brooks.

JPSmart and Herbie both tie with 36 out of a possible 39; if only it wasn't for those unfortunate ABBA/Toto choices for 80s band. Didn't you guys watch MTV?

I am pretty sure that protons are used to make protein, an essential ingredient in ham.
