No way we allowed it in our family!
lol JK I'm not spending 30mins on this
This had to be frustrating at best for those trying to rack their brains to come up with names past the most common ones.
I started out briefly by trying to think of the last names of classmates in fourth grade. I remembered Jones, Moore, Pickett, Foust, Moore, Williams, Wright, Young, Erwin, Street, Sherod, Slade, Whittaker, Fuller, Cousins, Reeves, Oakley, McCray, Barrett.
BTW I was in fourth grade 50 years ago.
not even close to all of them but I think it's not too bad!
In my case, rather than just ask myself "what are last names I know?" I just refer to "lists" I already have in my brain: US presidents, baseball players, popular actors and musicians. If you just run through them, you'll gets lots of answers because, by definition, the most common last names are the ones most likely to occur. And stumbling upon one name, like "Brown," will probably lead you to others, like "White" and "Green."
Ken often downplays the importance of intelligence.
Yet it's clear from his own history that he was extremely gifted from a young age. A high IQ is table stakes for success on Jeopardy. Top performers like Ken and James Holzhauer are at the far end of the bell curve. Obviously you have to practice too, but a stupid person will never do well no matter how much they practice.
So where does Ken's dissonance come from? My explanation: he is a highly conscientious person who values social approval. I don't think he's lying per se, just that he has fully internalized the myth that intelligence doesn't matter when he himself is clear proof that it does. Going around saying "you could never win because you aren't smart enough" isn't going to win him any friends.
But it's true.
Then colours.
Then occupations, (Clark, Smith, Carpenter)
I found this fun, phun, mcFunn, Funderson.
