1) Hiro Protagonist2) Do you want the name of a Vogon author?3) The Wraith?5) Character in Asimov's Foundation Series
I'm fairly certain there was a random Vogon poetry reference on Chuck this week. Awesome.
1) Hiro Protagonist2) Adams3) No clue (are you sure this wasn't a "difficult" one?) :-)4) The 13th Floor? I think that ends on the end of the highway after busting through the roadblock? (I think eXistenZ ends in a field, just watched that again a couple months ago)5) Losing geek cred for not remembering this was from Foundation6) No clue
2 and 5 were correct. I thought about using existenz as well and they both came out around the same time.
1 and 3 and 5 are correct. I am sure you knew 2 as well.
1, 2, and 4 are correct. Good job on thirteenth floor. Easy/Difficult are both subjective. The Wraith was easy for me because I have seen the movie about a million times and absolutely loved the movie when I was a kid. I also rated it as easy because I had to come up with a way to word a question about it without completely giving it away.
