Andy back with Week 3, Day 4 (I’ll be here with Day 4, 5, and 6 over the next 3 days!)
By the time this is posted, another day of LearnedLeague will be official; I’m quite happy with how I’ve been doing on the sports questions thus far; even moreso considering that they’ve been some of the harder questions of the entire LearnedLeague season!
Once again, huge thanks to DadOfTwins for all of his question-writing work!
Onwards with Day 4 of Week 3 of the Summer Hiatus Challenge! (I’ve extrapolated these responses based off the responses given by those who scored 75).
REALITY TV STAR MADE GOOD
2: She finished seventh on the third season of American Idol, but first in the voting for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Dreamgirls.
4: This panelist on The View and wife of a former NFL quarterback got her start on TV as a contestant on the second season of Survivor.
6: Toms Shoes was founded in 2006 by Blake Mycoskie, a contestant on the second season of this around-the-world CBS adventure series.
8: Animal nickname of Duane Chapman, a former bail bondsman turned reality TV star.
10: British game show host Jon Tickle got his start as a contestant on the British version of this reality show.
PIANO SONATA COMPOSERS
3: He wrote sonatas in both the Classical and Romantic styles, including “Tempest” and “Hammerklavier.”
6: While he was working on the score for Bolero, this composer wrote a piano sonata that was later adapted for Doris Humphery’s dance “Day to Earth.”
9: During World War II, this composer of Peter and the Wolf wrote three “War Sonatas,” including one called “Stalingrad.”
12: During his tenure as Leonard Bernstein’s replacement as director of the New York Philharmonic, this French composer wrote two piano sonatas.
15: Deutsch’s catalog of this nineteenth-century composer’s works includes 21 solo piano sonatas.
I believe I took a rare neg for myself on the 3-pointer; I went down the “Klavier” trail to “The Well-Tempered Clavier” and Bach. Whoops!
