Ray Rhodes is a coach in the NFL. The other ones have all hosted Family Feud at one time or another.

4. What is the make and model of the four automobiles pictured on the back of the "old style" U.S. 10 dollar bill?

Answer: no specific make or model

The designers of the bill were careful to not picture any specific automobile. The government isn't allowed to endorse commercial products. The cars on the back of the $10 bill capture the "feel" of ones made when the note was designed.

5. What is the common name for ascorbic acid?

Ascorbic acid is better known as vitamin C. Vitamin B-12 is cobolamin, baking soda is sodium bicarbonate, and vinegar is acetic acid.

Answer: not dying

My favorite non-music quote of all time is Woody's quip: "I don't want to achieve immortality through my work. I want to achieve it through NOT DYING." It seems to be the best way to achieve immortality, although the most elusive.

8. Which of the following was the last to be introduced to the state of Hawaii?

Macadamia nuts were not introduced until 1892. The first phone company was established in 1883. Coffee was first planted in 1817. Pineapples were introduced in 1813.

Answer: Forsythe Pendleton Jones

Jughead loves to eat and loves to be lazy. His real name is Forsythe Pendleton Jones. The name Jughead obviously is not derived from his real name, but rather his overall character.

10. What is the cube root of 27?

Answer: 3

3 X 3 X 3 = 27. The number 5.19 is a close approximation to the square root of 27. While 2.7 is 1/10 of 27. The number 4 is the cube root of 64.
