I got a 4/10. Always struggle with "who did what" questions.

Another 9/10, been a while since my last 100% now. Kicking myself because I knew the answer for you've got mail but I was looking for "AOL", stupid me didn't even think about what it stood for. Then again, I got lucky on the Tom Hanks question so I can't complain too much haha

Ditto on the AOL thing. I clicked Fed-Ex in panic.

Exactly the same thing I did 😂 I just didn't think about a two-word name matching a three-word acronym, but I realised the mistake immediately afterwards

Glad we're all a bit slow with that one.

Level 77
Jan 29, 2025
Haha, exact same on both. Thought late 90s was too early for an "online" company to be this big.

Level 53
Jan 29, 2025
Yes I too was looking for AOL, thanks for explaining that's what America Online stands for. Luckily I did pick it anyway because I knew it had to be an internet company, so "online" fit.

Yep, another 10/10 here today.. Took some time for Rita Wilson reducing my points to 984 on 10th question thereby.. Still I'll take it 😉

Same here, got 7/10.

And Tom Hanks eventually married Wilson? That's hilarious! WIIILLLLLSSOOOOONNN!

He married her way before Castaway. The late '80s maybe.

Aaaah!!!! The miracle run! Woo! Best ever! 9912! Having multiple Tom Hanks quizzes helped a lot with the theme. Also noticing the Hanks connection gave me 100% confidence on Philadelphia. 😄

It is--or, more accurately, was--America Online, with no "n."

Some of us remember when AOL was in its glory, treating its merger partners like poor relatives at the press conference held to announce the merger that created AOL Time Warner. That didn't last long--the merger has been described as "the biggest train wreck in the history of corporate America"--and Steve Case, AOL's CEO, soon found himself on the outside looking in. He's still around, offering opinions that no one really cares about, but AOL is now in the same category as Sears Roebuck and TWA, former giants that are no more.

Didn't realise there was a theme before reading the comments - is there always a theme?! I've only done like 5 of these.

There isn't always a theme, however the themes are usually not as subtle as today's one

I was surprised so few people knew that Stephen King wrote those books.

9/10 for me, I didn't know the name of the boy in Toy Story.

I was debating between King and Clancy and went the wrong way.

Can we have a moment of silence for the 12% of people that have never seen Toy Story.

Level 66
Jan 29, 2025
moment of silence taken....I am duly rewarded for avidly following Tom Hanks every since Bosum Buddies....

10/10 correct, 9,867 score, 8th best....bodes well for the day. Although I think it is sad that so many folks don't know D-Day - and obviously don't remember the days of dial-up AOL. And actually, I know at least two people who still use aol.com

10/10 with 9904 points. Lost some points on the AOL question - first for not finding "AOL" and second for not finding "America Online" without the -n. Clever theme and a good fun nonetheless.
