6 questions, easy to hard, then Ivy's pick. Here is every answer, and why.
Answer: Game of Thrones. Based on George R. R. Martin's unfinished novels. The final season was so disliked that a petition to remake it got nearly two million signatures.
Answer: True. Roughly twice as fast, about 3 mm a month against 1.5 for toenails. Nails on your dominant hand grow faster still, probably because the fingertips get more knocks and more blood flow.
Answer: The Bronx. At a party on Sedgwick Avenue where DJ Kool Herc looped the drum breaks of two copies of the same record. The building still stands.
Answer: Bernie Madoff. A former Nasdaq chairman, he had produced impossibly steady returns for decades; his own sons turned him in. He was sentenced to 150 years and died in prison in 2021.
Answer: Water Displacement, 40th formula. Developed in 1953 to stop rust on missiles; the first 39 formulas failed. It is a water displacer and degreaser, not really a lubricant, despite everyone using it as one.
Answer: A 10th-century Viking king, Harald Bluetooth. He united Denmark and Norway, as the standard was meant to unite devices. The logo combines his runic initials.
