11:03: Q2 (Times & Places): Also a 1980 single by the Boomtown Rats, and an upscale clothing retailer owned by The Gap, what political science term, coined by O. Henry, refers to a nation whose economy depends on the export of a single product?
15:34: Q3 (Music): What Russian composer wrote the satirical opera
The Love for Three Oranges, though he is probably better known for a so-called “symphonic fairy tale for children”?
25:52: Q4 (Sports & Games): What NBA team is
not named for British term for arugula, but rather for the role that former hometown San Diego played in developing the Atlas missile?
30:54: Q5 (Arts & Literature): His grotesque portrait-still life hybrids, which arranged fruits and vegetables to resemble human faces, were absolutely hanging in your elementary school art teacher’s classroom. Name this post-Renaissance court painter.
