Brain Celebri-teasers: Solution
Thursday, January 20th, 2011Welcome back to Brain Celebri-teasers. It’s time to reveal the solution to our Week #3 puzzle:
| Week #3 | |
| Category: | Politics |
| Difficulty: | Easy |
| Clue: | For a while, these two women shared a twin billing in Washington |
| Answer: | |
 | |
 |  |
| Hillary and Monica certainly made political news back in the late 1990’s. Hillary, of course, is making more (and better) news these days as our Secretary of State. Monica is (thankfully) out of the public eye. The “twin billing” referred to in the clue is, of course, Bill Clinton, who they both (ahem…) shared during that crazy time. | |
The winner this week was Mike!
After three weeks, the standings are as follows:
| Player | Points | Correct Answers |
| Ilya | 2 | 3 |
| Mike | 2 | 2 |
| Jim | 0 | 1 |
| Jeff Porten | 0 | 2 |
| Konstantin | 0 | 1 |
| Jason | 0 | 1 |
Thanks for playing, everyone! Remember to check back on Monday for next week’s puzzle!

Brain Celebri-teasers: Solution
Thursday, January 13th, 2011Welcome back to Brain Celebri-teasers. It’s time to reveal the solution to our Week #2 puzzle:
| Week #2 | |
| Category: | Music |
| Difficulty: | Medium |
| Clue: | For many, these two ladies represent the country’s best… |
| Answer: | |
 | |
 |  |
| Both Taylor and Carrie have won Best Artist honors at the Country Music Awards, making them the “country’s best,” as it said in the clue. Carrie, of course, also won the top prize on American Idol, so she’s been the country’s best in that sense as well. | |
The winner this week was Ilya!
It’s occurring to me, two weeks in, that multiple people are getting the puzzle right each week. And while there should be a prize for being first, correct answers should be recognized. So, I’m tweaking the standings a little to reflect both points and correct answers. Don’t worry, though – at the end of the year, most points still wins!
So, that being said, after two weeks, the standings are as follows:
| Player | Points | Correct Answers |
| Ilya | 2 | 2 |
| Mike | 1 | 1 |
| Jim | 0 | 1 |
| Jeff Porten | 0 | 1 |
| Konstantin | 0 | 1 |
| Jason | 0 | 0 |
Thanks for playing, everyone! Remember to check back on Monday for next week’s puzzle!

Brain Celebri-teasers: Solution
Thursday, January 6th, 2011Welcome back to Brain Celebri-teasers. It’s time to reveal the solution to our Week #1 puzzle:
| Practice Week #2 | |
| Category: | Sports |
| Difficulty: | Easy |
| Clue: | These two guys were known throughout the sports world for their biting commentary |
| Answer: | |
 | |
 |  |
| Muhammad Ali was as famous for sparring with the likes of Howard Cosell as he was for his boxing in the ring. He was, after all, “The Greatest,” and was never shy about saying so. Mike Tyson, on the other hand, was more known for commentary about biting, rather than “biting commentary,” per se. Just ask Evander Holyfield. | |
The winner this week was Mike!
After one week, the standings are, well, rather straight forward:
| Mike | 1 |
| 4 Others | 0 |
Thanks for playing, everyone! Remember to check back on Monday for next week’s puzzle!

Brain Celebri-teasers: Solution – Practice Round #2
Thursday, December 30th, 2010Welcome back to Brain Celebri-teasers. It’s time to reveal the answer to this, our second practice round before the contest begins in earnest in 2011.
| Practice Week #2 | |
| Category: | Movies/TV |
| Difficulty: | Easy |
| Clue: | Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good (and clear) night |
| Answer: | |
 | |
 |  |
| OK, so this was a little cheesy (and a little claymated). But what do you expect? It’s just a practice round. The real fun starts next week. ;-) | |
Under normal circumstances, this is where I’d post the winner’s name and the current standings, but since last week’s game included an immediate answer reveal, and this week is still practice, we’re not keeping score just yet.
But next week, it’s on. Oh yeah, it’s on…
