Pop Culture: Less Than, Greater Than or Equal? Quiz

Answer: "Goodfellas"' Jimmy Conway shoots the most.

Yes. It's true. Jimmy Conway (played by Robert DeNiro) popped his victim four times in that classic opening scene. Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) was more efficient. He needed only three shots to take care of his two rivals while poor Marvin (Phil LaMarr) was the unlucky recipient of one accidental (but very direct) shot from Vincent Vega. (John Travolta)

Answer: They're all equal.

Actor Jack Webb portrayed Sgt. Joe Friday for over 30 years. "Dragnet" began its run on radio and transitioned to the tube in 1952. The Babe began his career as a pitcher for the Boston Red Sox before being traded to the New York Yankees in 1919 where he blossomed into one of the greatest sluggers in history. Actress Roseanne Barr created the character of Roseanne Conner and starred with the rest of her dysfunctional sitcom family on ABC from 1988 through 1997. All three shared the number 714. The Connors resided at 714 Delaware Street.

The Babe belted 714 career homers and Sgt. Friday was issued badge 714 by the Los Angeles Police Department. "This is the city..."

Answer: The number of states in 1874 is greatest.

This should have been an easy one. The union consisted of 37 states in 1874 when Harvey Korman's character Hedley Lamarr and his henchmen terrorized the lovely town of Rock Ridge in Blazing Saddles. Fortunately, when it comes to air-quality concerns, the number of cowboys sitting around the campfire totaled "only" 11. For her portrayal of temptress Lily Von Shtupp, actress Madeline Kahn earned an Academy Award© nomination in the Best Supporting Actress category.

Her nomination was one of only three bestowed to the movie.

Answer: Doc Brown's address is the highest number.

When Marty McFly goes back to November 5, 1955, he seeks out and finds the Doc living at 1640 Riverside Drive. Although there is some dispute to the exact date and time, the standard version of Pilgrim history has them arriving at Plymouth Rock in 1620. The President of the United States resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Answer: Drew Carey's address is the highest number.

"All in the Family" and "Happy Days" had longer runs and arguably are more highly regarded in television lore than the "Drew Carey Show" but this time, Drew is the winner. Drew's street address is 720 Sedgewick. Archie comes in second place. He ruled his world from 704 Hauser Street. Howard, Marion, Richie, Joanie and don't forget the Fonz in the garage apartment lived at 565 N. Clinton Drive in Milwaukee, WI.

Answer: Randle McMurphy's wattage is greatest.

Jack wins this one. As McMurphy, he joked that because he had been receiving 10,000 watts per day that his next girlfriend was "...gonna light up like a pinball machine and pay off in silver dollars!" In second place, the model number of troublesome computer, voiced by Canadian actor Douglas Rain, was the HAL 9000.

The third place number in this group is the 'Old Man', who was 2000 years of age back in the '60s, which I guess puts him around 2050 now.

Answer: They're all equal.

Yes. They're all equal. Honest Abe used only ten sentences in his great speech. In the movie "10", character George Webber (Dudley Moore) gave his top rating to the "most beautiful girl I've ever seen" and the regulation height of the rim is ten feet.

Answer: Captain Nemo's number is greatest.

We figured you to know that Captain Nemo's submarine, the Nautilus, was 20,000 leagues under the sea but did you know that George's policy was for $15,000.00 or that Sanders rushed for 15,269 yards? Didn't think so. For what it's worth, pun intended, if we adjust the buying power of $15k in 1946 to current times, George's policy would be worth approximately $175,000.00.

But too bad if you did believe that George's number was greatest because there is no adjusting for inflation here. Sorry! The official greatest number belongs to Captain Nemo. :)

Answer: Johnny's Academy Awards© hosting gigs is the greatest number.

It's a close battle for the top spot with Johnny's Academy Award© hosting gigs edging out the number of times he said, "I do", five to four. He hosted the ceremony from 1979-1982 and then again in 1984. Thankfully, he was compensated handsomely for his work as it allowed him to afford his alimony payments. Published reports state that the settlement in the divorce from his third wife, Joanna Holland, alone cost him over $20 million dollars! Even though Johnny was the King of Late Night, his "Tonight Show" won the Emmy© for 'Outstanding Show' only once. (1992)

Answer: They're all equal.

Yes, they're all the same. The Crests sold over one-million copies and earned a Gold Record for their 1959 hit, "16 Candles". The number 16 was also the jersey number on the backs of both ballplayers. On the "Cheers" set, the photo of Sam on display in the bar is an actual photo of Lonborg in action. Lonborg, who played with Boston between 1965-1971, also pitched for the Milwaukee Brewers and the Philadelphia Phillies.

He finished his 15-year career with a win-loss record of 157-137.
