Jab Any Be. Jay An Ebb. I won’t go on. Abbyjean dropped a 100% correct answer and takes home the title this week in the anagram rearrangeathon. (25 other people were totally spot on as well. Good job kids.)
- For heartburn these are a must. (TUMS)
- I’m sated after eating too many of these. (Dates)
- For me, this type measure is just fine. (Em)
- Please be quiet, everyone here is this. (Asleep)
- Nowhere can I find this utopian novel. (Erewhon)
- Members who don’t pay these may be sued. (Dues)
- A Roman mansion… no, an English one. (Manor)
- It ruined my satin tie. (Stain)
- Sam taught himself this language. (Flemish)
- It may retain an image. (Retina)
A few people answered ASM for #9 - apparently we have some ultranerds following trivia tuesday. According to the source of all knowledge, Wikipedia, ASM is some sort of programming language. We accepted that response, even though ASM is an acronym and not a word…. but we’re flexible.
Abbyjean, tell us where to send the Prize Pack of Power. Be careful. Many people are willing to do bodily harm to those in possession of such hard to find items.

We kicked your asses this week! No perfect responses and not one person guessed the first “I”. As fate would have it, Abbyjean, last weeks winner, recognized 10 out of 12 of the logos and is the outright winner. Which is cool because I don’t have to make another graphic. Just reuse that one. Excellent.
Full logos are below. I do want to mention one thing: Multiple people submitted answers where they assumed we used trickery to make letters - That the “u” was really the ESPN n upside down (even if we would stoop to such things, it would still be wrong, go peep the ESPN logo and compare it). Some people also submitted that one of the “i”s were from the Creed logo.
1. I only ever reference Creed if I am making severe fun of them.
2. There were no fake-outs. These letters are the actual letters, guys.

So pretty much AbbyJean is the smartest person on the entire internet. She was the only person to correctly identify each map AND this is her 3rd win. Look, I’m not saying that I don’t love that I get to re-use the same winner graphic over and over, cuz I do. Because I’m lazy. But I think maybe you guys should step up your knowledge game just a tiny bit. Whatever, what do I know? I wouldn’t know the answers if I weren’t the one making the questions. Onward to the answers.
Map 1: Tells us what side of the road you should drive on. Red locales drive on the right, blue on the left.
Map 2 highlights states in which a US president was born.
And what do the red portions of Map 3 show us? This one was a bitch, I know. The red denotes states where AFC teams play.
So Abby, I’m just gonna hold off sending your last prize and send it with this week’s prize because we’re not made (entirely) of money! So much shipping!
But for real kid, you’re wicked smart. Congrats.
To everyone else: GET YOUR HEADS IN THE GAME!
