These questions seem hard until you think about them and then they are normally pretty easy to narrow down to one or two.

The scrabble question is inaccurate. There is only one Z in scrabble and so in order to play Pizza, the second Z would have a be a blank. Blanks don't score anything and so the total would only be 15, which is less than the 16 from Joker.

It should also be made clear that the question is referring to the base value of the word - pizza (with a blank) does have a higher maximum possible score than joker if we take into account the multipliers. Placing both words such that they land on the triple word and the highest-value tile is on the double letter, they score:

pizza: 3 * (3 + 1 + 0 + 2*10 + 1) = 75

joker: 3 * (2*8 + 1 + 5 + 1 + 1) = 72

I've listened to Don't Fear the Reaper dozens of times and I've never noticed the cowbell. Now that I know I don't think I can unhear it.

There's actually a pretty iconic SNL skit about the cowbell in Don't Fear the Reaper. Definitely worth a watch.

Bridge of Sighs, enclosed limestone bridge in Venice, Italy, spanning the narrow canal (Rio di Palazzo) between the Doge’s Palace and the prisons. Commissioned by the doge Marino Grimani, whose familial coat of arms is depicted in the centre of the facade, the Baroque-style bridge was built about 1600 by the architect Antonio Contino.

The enclosed passageway was named for the “sighs” of the prisoners who passed over it.

Tradition holds that if a couple kisses while passing underneath the bridge in a gondola, they will enjoy eternal love.
