Welcome back to Brain Celebri-teasers. It’s time to reveal the solution to our Week #20 puzzle:
| Week #20 | | Category: | Movies/TV | | Difficulty: | Hard | | Clue: | One of these guys is likely thinking about the other today | | Answer: | Jim Henson &
Frank Oz |  |  |  | | This week’s was tricky, I know, since neither of these men ever appeared in front of the camera, but their work makes them perhaps two of the most famous people in the world. Jim Henson died twenty-one years ago this past Monday (May 16, 1990) at the altogether-too-young age of 53. The mark he made, though, along with his partner Frank’s voice, continue to live on today. |
The winner this week was Mike!
After twenty weeks, the standings are as follows:
| Player | Points | Correct Answers | | Mike | 11 | 7 | | Suzanne | 9 | 5 | | Konstantin | 5 | 9 | | Ilya | 4 | 13 | | Hilary | 3 | 1 | | Zach | 3 | 1 | | Jeff Porten | 2 | 4 | | Joe | 1 | 1 | | Jason | 0 | 3 | | Jim | 0 | 1 | | Harmon | 0 | 1 | | Lee Salz | 0 | 1 | | Lisa Rafal | 0 | 1 | | Kelly Nase | 0 | 1 |

Welcome back to Brain Celebri-teasers. It’s time to reveal the solution to our Week #17 puzzle:
| Week #17 | | Category: | Politics | | Difficulty: | Easy | | Clue: | These guys have switched categories over the years | | Answer: | Arnold Schwarzenegger &
Al Franken |  |  |  | | We called this week’s category Politics, but it just as easily could have been Movies/TV with these two guys – one, a (now former) governor of California and action movie star, and one a sitting senator from Minnesota and a former Saturday Night Live regular. Makes me wonder who, from our current crop of celebrities, will one day be in the Politics category… |

| Week #15 | | Category: | Music | | Difficulty: | Easy | | Clue: | For these guys, life is mostly black and white | | Answer: | Billy Joel &
Elton John |  |  |  | | Yes, it’s the Face-to-Face piano men, Billy Joel and Elton John. While their careers these days are more reminiscent of Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me, I, for one, prefer to focus on the I’ve Loved These Days feeling. |
