Subeta -

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I have never heard of that song, though I did wonder why the price for the katana was so random when it came out. (I should have done some research.)

As for this one, I'm really bad at trivias like this. At this rate it will take forever for me to get my 10th trivia...

The apostrophe trivia was an error on her part--no one got it right. The site has been glitchy with them lately, and I imagine that's why it screwed it up. She didn't set us up or anything.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Thanks to you, DebiLee, I have had that song stuck in my head for DAYS now! LOL Good thing I like it to start with! Now, off to find this latest one. . .

There will never be restrictive rules that say Trivias can only be about, or relate to, x, y, or z, or only be presented in a, b, or c manner. That simply doesn't really work with Trivia, which can technically be about anything, and presented in any manner. The only current "rule" is that they be Subeta related in some way, except for holidays/special events.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I'd prefer some 'set rules' compared to the normal rumor-mill postings. An example was when many people posted that special characters cannot be in trivia answers. It's a common belief, but Deb posted that it is not true. That's from the Louis L'amour trivia.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Heh! Debilee is absolutely correct. There were several posts in the comments on the news post about the release of the katanas about the song and Tommy Tutone. I even remember having the discussion about the song and teasing someone about it at the time, which is probably the only reason why I knew the answer so quickly. That question was insidiously clever. Major kudos to the author!!

I've complained about plenty of trivias, and this one was hard for me to find, but seriously, it was one of the funnest ones I've seen. I think if all trivia was something easy to find on subetadb (or similarly easy), it really wouldn't be fun anymore. I see no reason for set rules other than that they are almost always subeta related (which this was), and perhaps actually stated that it's not subeta related when they aren't.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Banana phone is a quite popular song, but what does it have to do with anything numerical?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

There are avid Trivia people who do go back through a few weeks worth of News comments if they can't find an answer.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

DebiLee, Maybe it is time that some explicit Trivia rules be put into place. How many times do players have problems with the questions, the way they are presented or the answers actually being related? I'm not fighting your right and I'm wrong. I do believe that rules would make your life and ours easier.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Who would bother to read 2 week old news comments though...if you weren't there when it was posted, or remembered the song lyrics off the top of your head, you were basically screwed on that one, but whatever.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I knew it was this number but it didn't come up in the DB in the description. Too bad there's no way to check prices.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Exactly OrnWolfy! My point exactly. People just complain too much, you win some you lose some

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

In The Trivia Question It Says "during its purchase" Which Would Mean When It Says " I Accept The Offer Of 8675309" , Not "Your Offer?" And Anyways, Trivias Are Supposed To Be Confusing.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Mhmm, I got the previous trivia once, I'd heard the song years ago, but it clicked as soon as I saw the price for the katana and went to purchase it

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Lauz, the song is about this girl's phone number being 867-5309, the price of the item

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

You didn't have to have anything memorized... although, if you've heard it once, you probably already do. XD I swear, it's in recent News comments, you just have to go back a couple of weeks.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Banana whatever was not a once popular song. XD

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

"I think I even made the sP 222 for Tommy "two" tone. XD "

Haha, amazing. What were the stats Debi love?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I still don't think it's fair that you should have had that specific song's lyrics memorized to make the connection...sorry...

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Thanks Ariel, never heard of it.. and the reference to it on the item is lost on me 0_x

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Man this next one is one of those hiding in front of you one! Don't like these but it's fun when you finally see it xD

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

You don't have to be from the US even; that song was known internationally. MTV and its various stations still show the video. If you go back just a couple of weeks in the News, the comments are all still right there. I think I even made the sP 222 for Tommy "two" tone. XD

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Your answer mysterious maple katana for the trivia was correct! Youve been given an Shard Yce and 222sP

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Took me a while to get, easy :O

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Wow, the new trivia is so easy. xD

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Diana, once again, there are no explicit Trivia rules. And "Subeta related" doesn't have to be 100% Subets-related, as long as the answer is. And, no, you're incorrect. The Subeta related Trivia came about to keep people from just posting on Yahoo Answers to get the answer, which could not be done inthis case, obviously. Also, this was even brought up in the News comments when the Katana was first added, do it technically was entirely findable on Subeta at one point.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Ya know, I missed this trivia entirely...and I know I would have gotten it The price...that's a new one though

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

diana - you could put a just argument forward that it was fully subeta related as the song was mentioned in the comments on the day the Katan was released - several times! I remember that now, but i cou;dn't remember it when i was trying to get the answer... oh well... (goes hunting for this one)

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I knew the last one as soon as I saw it, I have no clue on this one though.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I guessed red balloon... for the 99 red balloons song. i didn't even think to look at prices in the MC. blushes And I'm honored my trivia suggestion got picked But now I gotta buy a Shard Yce...

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I thought it'd be red balloon for 99 Red Balloons or french hen, for The Twelve Days of Christmas. Ah well; good show.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

x33; Yay I actually figured this one out o.o

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Well, whatever the case... I find trivias like the current one more difficult to answer because I don't look at everything on subeta as much as I should I guess.

Not gonna complain though, I have 41 trivias correct in the last 6 months

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Debi; can we have the stats for the last trvia please?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I can see tons of people answering A Telenine Christmas, Wibblephant, Zodiak Fantasy Buckled Boots, or French Hen to the last one. I know I took note of all of them.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I saw and pondered all the things everyone said they put here, but the key was that it was a once popular song, so I knew it wasn't some nursery rhyme.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I think it depends on the band or the song as to where they've heard it. I really do believe that if your going to ask a question about subeta it should be completely subeta related. While the question came across as subetian it wasn't in fact a question that could be answered by subeta knowledge and that was why the "all subeta trivia" came to be I believe.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Heh. I was thinking Elixir of Love, for the song Love Potion Number 9. I was WAY off. Heeheehe.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

The song's name is 8675309/jenny and as has been said by tommy tutone

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

By the way, my guess for the trivia was the Lamb Hand Puppet. I chose it because numerical is also a synonym for continuing/consecutive and the description of the Lamb Hand Puppet is "God I hope this little lamb puppet doesnt sing The Song that Never Ends...."

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Ah poo. I guessed Zodiak Fantasy Buckled Boots, cause the description says, "one, two, three buckle my boots. " Like as in "one two buckle my shoe, three four shut the door.." That's a numerical ditty, isn't it? I would have never came to the conclusion of the maple katana

This one though: Yay for patchwork ice cream!! I remember the other time these were given out, it glitched and gave out two (we had to delete one). I'm hoping I can find the answer so I can have another

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

It's Jenny by Tommy Tutone, Lauz

Debi, how many got the Shard Yce this time round?

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

o_O...how was anyone that has never heard OF that song, much less heard it, supposed to figure that one out? Buh, hopefully the ShardYce isn't selling for too much, I wanted that thing so bad... guessed red balloon

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

But the question about the band was -a lot- more straightfoward.. ya know. Did anyone else say Banana Phone?! Silly. u__u;

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

BloodChocobo - Thats the song that my avatar is based on. xD

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

I was amused when I saw the last question as I pointed out the fact the price was a tommy tutone song in the news comments the day the Katana was released.

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

Eh, just because you are in the States, it doesn't mean that you are gonna know it. We had a question awhile back about a band from Canada, i son't see the difference

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

shrugs you can see the 99 next to the red balloon while purchase it soo thats what I was going by xD

December 31, 1969, 7:00 pm by

last trivia, brilliant. i even bought one of those guys... didn't think of the song either. on to the next!!
