Lazy Sunday XXXIV

You can find last week's answers and contest winner in an extended entry, but now it's time for today's Lazy Sunday contest! This week's prize is a Palm-size RC Helicopter that actually flies!

Everyone has a chance at winning, so don't be shy! I'm trying to find a good balance between easy and hard questions, too, so if you feel frustrated, just answer the ones you know. Everyone who's between the ages of 16 and 80 should be able to get at least one correct – I promise.

The rules:

It's very simple. Every answer contains a reference to a movie, a television show, or a song. Just guess as many as you can – some will be laughably easy and some will be very difficult. You have two chances to comment with your answers.

Every correct answer is like a raffle ticket – you get one chance to win per correct answer. If you get 1 right, your name goes in the proverbial hat. If you get 10 right, your name goes in ten times. Et cetera.

The contest ends Tuesday at midnight EST. I'll give the correct answers and the winner on the following Sunday.

I've tried to make it slightly more Google-proof, although some of them are easily found if you're lazy. Otherwise, it should be simple, but if you have any questions, just ask in the comments.

This was an obscure one that I can only imagine you Googled to figure out – Annie Hall.

15. How do you walk?
Like Khaba.
I'm very impressed that anyone got this one. Khaba is an Egyptian pharaoh. So this is "Walk Like an Egyptian" by the Bangles.

Here's how I chose the winner:

First, I entered everyone's answers into a spreadsheet, giving 1 point for each correct answer and 0 points for each wrong answer. The total number of points equaled the person's "raffle tickets" for the drawing.

Then I created a randomized list using Random.org of every "raffle ticket" – basically each person's name was repeated as many times as they had right answers. This gave me a random list of 174 entries.

Finally, using Random.org again, I asked it to generate a random integer between 1 and 174. It chose #85.

#85 is my winner.

Would you like to know who that is?

(drumroll please)

Othurme! Not only did he win, but he was the first one to guess the correct answer to the hardest question, #15.

Congratulations – you win an iPod Shuffle! Email me to confirm your win and give me your address. The rest of you, thank you for playing, and try your luck with today's contest!
