Hey, oh, I actually have a new dad fact I can bring to you guys. Oh, yeah, yeah. So, um, this, this we did not know. When you take your baby, like, out of the house to take your baby somewhere, you need to bring an extra diaper. Wow. You make that mistake one time.

Yeah, right. It's like that with walking your dog as well. You should bring extra bag. You should. Calculate how many poop bags you think you need for your dog. Times a bite two. It's that walk that he's going to decide that he needs to just get rid of everything. And there are going to be a lot of people around.

There's no way to be like, I'm going to come back for this, I promise. Oh, I'll just have one. It's okay. I left a little handwritten note on there. I'll come back for this later. That's why you're going to be in a public space. He's going to poop right in the middle of the corner of a sidewalk and everybody is going to be like just glaring. Like the worst parents ever.

Yeah, it's worse if it's a baby and they poop on the sidewalk. So bring those extra diapers. You might even want to get a bag to put them in. Call it a diaper bag. Yeah, I know, crazy. I just put up with that. That is a tip from me to all you parents out there. All right.

So today is our all-quiz bonanza number 26. Woo. All-quiz Bonanza, who wants to go first? I will go first.

I have prepared an installment of, have you ever noticed? The angle of this quiz is things that we've seen, dozens, perhaps hundreds. perhaps thousands of times before, and how closely have you been paying attention to these things? Not very. Well, we'll see. Some of these are pretty simple. Some of these are 50-50. I've thrown in a healthy amount of 50-50s here, so you guys can at least take a guess.

Some of them we'll just have to know outright. So we'll start with a relatively easy one here for this group, I think. And buzz in when you're ready. So in the spirit of have you noticed, please tell me, in which hand does the Statue of Liberty hold her torch? Right hand. It is the right hand. Come on, now.

Man, Lincoln, Jefferson, Roosevelt, Washington? Incorrect. I think Lincoln is on the right. It is from left to right. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln. You didn't get it right. Lincoln was on one side.

Washington, Jefferson, Jefferson, Roosevelt. So it's not chronological. It's just the last two are feet. Yep, yep. Does the animal depicted on a pack of camel cigarettes have one hump or two humps. Dana. One?

It is one hump. Okay. So technically that is a dromedary that have pictured on the pack of camel cigarettes. Why? A dromedary has one hump. The camel has two humps. The bactrian camel is the two hump animal.

holding up the newspaper wildly erroneously predicting his loss in the presidential election. Yeah, well, I'm predicting, calling it. Sorry, yes, you're right, calling, yes, this was the day after. Yeah. Wait, what? One of the, there was a newspaper, maybe Colin will ask us what newspaper it is. I'm not sure what the question is going to be, but there was a newspaper in which they erroneously called the election for Dewey. And, of course, there's this famous photo of Truman who had actually one election.

Yes, with a giant grin on his face, holding up the paper to the reporters. What major American newspaper is he holding a copy of? From a major American city. It's not the New York Times. Chicago Tribune. It is. The Chicago Tribune. Is it just the case where they print two?

No. No. They just called it wrong. I mean, if you think about analog, you know, data gathering, you know, it's just difficult to get it all in and they just jump the gun. Yeah. And it's such a just an egregious historical error. Like, you'll see people talk about, oh, it was a Dewey Defeats Truman moment kind of thing.

Like, if you bungle something really poorly. Yep. In the logo for the television show, Seinfeld, what dots the eye? What dots the eye in Seinfeld? Chris. I thought it was a triangle. It is a triangle. It's a red triangle.

creature of the night well it depends on which you know which origin story you want to go with Like, it is circus inspired. Right, that was one of the stories. Right, that was his supposed to be his family's acrobat costumes, right? Oh, I already have this costume for you. Right here, Robin.

Oh. I prefer the theory put forth that Batman dressed himself in dark colors and kept Robin in bright so that the bad guys would shoot at Robin. Oh, that's good. That's good. All right, well, good job, guys. You guys have proved yourselves quite attentive. That was tough. Last week, I was talking about Skedomancy.

The fortune-telling using poop, and the weird word-a-day thing I do at Words Are So Weird on Twitter. You can follow me at Words Are So Weird. The Oxford English Dictionary has become my new best friend. Oh, yeah. It's so addictive. I got access to it the other day. I've just been plowing through it. Wow.

I was like, what other kinds of divination are there? There's poop divination. What else is there? There's a lot. You can read the, you can tell the future with a lot of things. So I made a quiz for you guys about divination, different kinds of divination. I'll tell you what the word is. And then I think there are enough clues.

You can guess what kind of fortune-telling it is or what you're using in order to tell the future. Wow. Okay. Ambulo I was gone Ambulatory is how it's going I don't know what guys got it

All right Colin says how you walk Karen says snoring Chris says walking style It's from walking Devonation by walking Wait why are you guys guys guys Gets walking

Ambulatory Like able to move around Ambulare's Latin for walking Is that where ambulance comes from Indirectly Yeah It's also or where Amble. Amble, I believe, comes from...

Oh, I did not know that. So someone watches how you walk and then gives you your... Is that the idea? I think so, yes. Interesting. Or they walk around you? They didn't get into very specifics. Okay. Okay. How you should be able to tell the future? It's not that kind of dictionary.

How about aeromancy? A-E-R-O-Mansy. Aero mancy We shall see What do we got? What do we got? Colin says wind. Karen says air. Chris says wind.

It is by air or things in the air, like clouds or birds. Oh, okay. Oh, okay. Okay. How about Armomancy? A, R-M-O-M-A-N-C-Y. Armomancy. Arm-M-M-M-A-M-H-H-R-M-M-R-M-R-M-R-M-E.

Studder. Colin says your skin, Karen says clothes. Chris says your armoire. Armour. It's actually by the shoulders of beasts like arms. Oh. By the shoulders of beasts?

Yeah. Wait, like they feel it? Your future is you're about to get eaten by a bear. Like, oh, you got strong arms. You're going to. Oh. I guess if you use your hand, I don't know. Your arms.

Yeah. It's weird. Like palm are you? How about astragalomancy? A-S-T-R-A-G-A-L-O-Mansy. Astrogolo. Mm-hmm. A-G-O-S-R-O-O-S-R-O-A-S-R-O-A-S-R-R-E.

This is a weird word, and you may be heard of it in certain contexts. We can talk about it. Really? Yeah. Isn't there like an astragalus bacteria or something like that? Oh, let's, I'm guessing. that. Sure. I'll go, I'll throw in with Bacteria Mancy as well. All right. Colin says bacteria. Karen says bacteria. Chris says stars. It's by dice or

huckle bones. Oh. Okay. So, okay. A straggaloid, there's all, it comes from like the little nubbins at the top of your bones, like the round. And then I think people were using them as dice at one way. Yeah. Those are like the original dice. Yeah. Yeah. That's why they say like rolling the bones like that's where that comes from oh how about cardomancy C-A-R-T-O-Mansy ready we got Colin and Karen saying maps Chris says cards it is cards oh oh yes tarot cards cardamancy not like cartography so tarot would be like cardamancy how about chiro mansy C-H-I-R-Mansy what is that I know, I've heard that before, right?

Yeah, what is that root? Cairo. Oh. Ready? What's that? That's squiggly. Okay, so, Colin and Karen say spine. Chris says squiggles.

It is hand. Chiromancy is divination, palm breeding. Spine is so good, though. Hyropactor. That's what I was going to do. I know, but I wonder if it's because they're manipulating you with their hands. I don't know. Oh, that makes sense.

Why does that make sense? Because they're, because that's what they do. They're putting their hands on them manipulating you. Right, right. Kaira. Okay. All right. We all learned something.

Look at that. Arnithomancy. O-R-N-I-T-H-O-Mansy. This one, I know. All right? Well, I mean, it's just etymology. Yeah, I'm going to go by that. Oh.

So, birds, birds, birds are bird poop. Yep, birds. I like the bird poop idea, though, right? Bird poop. That's Ornitho Scatomancy. Yeah. You can do that on my car. Yeah, exactly.

Onomancy. O-N-O-Mansy. Okay. This word comes up so much, the O-N-O part. So remember, a centaur is a half-horse, half-human, and O-No centaur is a half-donkey, half-human. So it's something about Ono is like... Donkey related?

No, no, no. I think it's like not anti, we're almost, you know, like quasi or, you know, I don't know what Ono. All right. Colin says sound. Karen says Beatles, but spelled like the band, the Beatles. Yeah, like Yoko Ono. Oh, okay. And then, yes, and Chris also says John Lennon's widow.

Oh. Same wavelength, man. She can definitely predict the future. It's a divination from a name or. names, especially the letters of a personal name. So I think that's funny if it's like Ono means like jackass or donkey and it's also like your personal

name. So it's funny, I was thinking like Onomatopoeia. I was just hooking into that but I bet that it's Anamotapia, the root means named after. It's another dad joke of mine because there's a place called Ono Hawaiian Barbecue. Whenever we drive by it, I go Oh no.

It's like, what? And I pointed it and just like God. You get me every time. Every time with this. I've been practicing for this forever. All right. Okay.

Oh, that's a good one. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. So here we go. I'm going to list three and buzz in with what you think these are varieties of. Okay. All right. Jazz. Jonathan.

Crispin. Colin. Are those apples? Those are apples. Nice. Actually, this was inspired. I was inspired. I was at the supermarket. I saw jazz apples. And I was like, oh. That's cool. I've never heard of a jazz. I've heard of jazz apples. Jazz apples. You have to do jazz hands. Yeah, no. So the whole trip, I was like, jazz apples. All right. Next one. Jazz apples. All right. Next one. Garden. Conger. Moray. Oh. Eels. Eels, yes, they're a variety of eels.

Garden eels are actually interesting. They're called garden eels. One of the reasons why is... They're snakes. They're vertical. Like, sometimes you see them on the ocean floor. They're, like, sticking up, so it looks like a garden of eels. Oh, that's awesome.

Like grass blades. Yeah, kind of weird. Okay. Yeah, I don't know why that's creepier somehow it is. It is. All right, next one. Happy, odd, imaginary. Chris

Quarks Quarks Quark Oh what Colin? Numbers Numbers

Yes A happy number I think we've mentioned this on the show before is a number defined by the following process Starting with any positive integer Replace the number by the sum of the squares of its digits Whoa

Okay So for example So 13 is a happy number You take the digits So 1 squared 3 squared equals 10, and then you take those digits and square them, one squared plus zero squared equals one. Got it.

So all these numbers that you keep doing this process where equals one is called a happy number. That's cool. A number that does not do that is called a sad number. I'm not joking or unhappy. I thought of quarks. I just looked this up because I don't know anything about that. It's just, it's, there's six types of quirks I am here reading from the book of Wikipedia. Wait, quirks are.

Elementary particles. Oh, okay. There's six types, which are up, down, strange, charm, bottom, and top. Whoa. Yeah, yeah, weird. Those are cute. All right, next one. Adipose, pelvic, coddle.

Wow. So familiar. Fat? Yeah. Incorrect. Oh. Oh, what's coddle? C-A-U-D-A-L.

Oh, Coddle. Adipose. pelvic cauddle is it positions fins it is fins

it is like a little fat nubbin a pelvic fin is located in the pelvic area of fish and then coddle is tail is the scientific name of a tail fin

I have fat in all those places just saying but only fins in two I don't know I don't know I don't know It sounds scandalous Yeah

All right This is super specific Wow Super specific I don't know how it got in my head Maybe I was hungry All right All right

Nam yong Pizokeri Soba Noodles Incorrect More specific please Oh Buckwheat noodles

Buckwheat noodles Buckwheat noodles Oh, okay. She did say very specific. That's right. She did. Nam Young is a Korean noodles made out of buckwheat. Soba is Japanese noodles made out of buckwheat and Pizoket Pizzo Keri, P-I-Z-Z-O-C-H-E-R-I.

Pizza Keri. It's Keti, right? Not cherry. I don't think, yeah, I think it's. Well, there's two C's, but then there's a H. Pizzo Keri. Yeah. It's an Italian buckwheat noodle dish.

Very specific. Last one. And this was also unspecific. inspired by my personal events. Sure. Maybe that's TMI. Osmotic, secretory,

exudative, exudative. Dana. Sweat? Incorrect. Is it poo? Always poo. Glans? It's Collins close.

What? They're types of diarrhea. Whoa. And I know it's gross, but it made me think, I was like, what are the human reasons for diarrhea? Like, what happens in your body that causes that? And so I looked it up and it's actually kind of interesting. So the three, these are, they're only three types.

Oh, we're going to get into it. Okay. Yeah, yeah. So three types. Osmotic means there's something that is drawing water from the body that's taking water from the body. Osmosis, right? Secretory or secretory, secretory, happens when the body, is really good. Okay. Exidative is if there's

blood or inflammatory. There you go. Yeah. There you go. Yeah. Human body is wondrous. Sure. Wow, from Cabernet, a bloody stool. The whole wide range of human experiences in one quiz. Yeah, that's right. The pageant of humanity.

So beautiful. I like when everything's a pageant. Anything could be a passion. I, too, have been inspired to create this quiz by our last episode. Karen read off the Trivial Pursuit card. What New Mexico's state question. New Mexico's official state question. Not motto question.

Red or green. Red or green, which is referring to the chilies that you want with your meal. Do you want red or green chilies? And I then thought, wow, I'll make an entire quiz about official state questions. Unfortunately, New Mexico is the. Only state with an official state question. However, states love declaring official state what's it. Oh, yeah.

Generally, there's, there's, you know, a popular call to name something, the official state something. You know, when they, little old ladies get together and submit a petition, or they have kids in schools vote on what the official state ground animal is going to be. You know, many states have official state things, and this is a quiz about. that. Okay. A lot of them, I mean, a lot of the official state things are really, really hard to guess. Either know it or you don't, but these are all, everything I've chosen here is, guessable? Yeah, guessable to some degree. Some will be super easy. Some will require a little bit of thinking, but I think you guys can do it. So you have your pads and your pens and such. I love the fact that you have the assumption that every state has an official question, but really it's just one. That was a good assumption, though.

It seemed official. Make some more legit. I was disappointed. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're like, this is a very easy quiz that could write. Right, right, right. Yeah, yeah. Like, oh, New York's official state question is, are you talking to me?

Oh, that's good. Oh, we should come up with our own. We can come up with official state questions for every single. So here we go. This is worth a point, but I think you're all going to get it. We'll just get some points on the board with this one. These are feel good points. This is more for our listeners.

This is more, this question is more. have you been paying attention to good job brain questions see if you can get this in the car okay its official state drink is coffee milk it's official state drink is coffee milk oh fun i don't remember i hope i remember this one i know i know the region i know the region all right there uh karen says road island colin says road island dana says little roadie best state in the union yes road island the official state drink is coffee Milk. Okay, that's a point for everyone. This, appropriately, is the official state cookie of Pennsylvania.

The official state cookie of Pennsylvania. Appropriately. Okay, appropriately. I'm just going to repeat everything Chris says. Yes, sir. I would caution you to not overthink it. And we have our answers. Colin says chocolate chip cookie.

Dana says a chocolate chip cookie And Karen says Toll House I'll give it to you anyway Toll House is not in Pennsylvania But Hershey is definitely in Pennsylvania Their official cookie is the chocolate chip cookie Oh, okay

That's what my thinking was Toll House because Toll House Yeah I check Toll House, not in Pennsylvania Massachusetts? I believe so, yes Oh Hershey Speaking of Massachusetts

I'm giving you the point anyway Karen Oh thank you No problem It's all very Lucy Goosey here. Speaking of Massachusetts, Massachusetts and Louisiana, both have official state donuts. Oh, 1.8. Name the official state donuts of Massachusetts and Louisiana. One of them you can get at Dunkin' Donuts. The other one, you cannot get at Dunkin' Donuts.

How about that? That's a little, special little hint for you. Answers up. Karen says, Glazed and Beny's. I'm guessing that Beny's. I'm guessing that Beny is our Louisiana one. Yeah, yeah. Colin says Massachusetts, the cruller, ooh, the cruller, and Benet for Louisiana.

And Dana actually is the same answer. Louisiana-Benier, Massachusetts, cruller. Yes, indeed, Ben-Jays are the official state donuts of Louisiana. The official state donut of Massachusetts is the Boston cream.

Oh, my God. You know what? I almost wrote that. Oh, my God. But then I was like, is that a pie. Yeah, I doubted myself. The Boston cream pie is a pie. Okay.

It was invented. I believe it would be Parker House in Massachusetts, but there is a Boston Cream Donut very popular at Dunkin'Dowell's. Okay. Okay. All right. All right. Darn.

Here's a tough one for you. This 1964 song by The McCoys, a staple at Ohio sporting events, is the state's official rock song. Official rock song. This is a toughie. This is a toughie. It is a 1960. Who is it by?

64 song by the McCoys. It is a staple at Ohio sporting events. They very often play this at many sporting events at the collegiate level and the professional level in the great state of Ohio. And it is the official rock song of the state of Ohio. What are famous Ohio cities? Cleveland. Cincinnati. Are Ohio fans? They know. Yeah. They know it. They're singing it right now. They're singing it right now. If only I could give you all points. Colin says, Cleveland Rocks. Karen says Sin City. Dana says, Roller Coaster of Love. The answer is actually, hang on Sloopy. Oh, okay. What?

What? The official state of Ohio. Of Ohio. Hang on, Snoopy, Sloopy, hang on. Let's, all right, let's revive this a little bit here. The official state dessert of Virginia is, ice cream. But the official state dessert of this state

is the ice cream cone. The ice cream cone is the official state dessert of this state. I should say again, this is getable. There is a logical path to this. The official

The Boston Terrier is the official state dog of Massachusetts, the Alaskan Malamute of Alaska. Which state named as its official dog the Chesapeake Bay Retriever?

So in case you're keeping track, we have Colin. and Karen with seven points each. Dana with six points each. Still anybody's game, three more questions to go. In New York, it's apple. In Minnesota and Virginia, it's blueberry. In Massachusetts, it's corn. In Hawaii, it's coconut. I have just told you the official state what's. In New York,

it's apple. Minnesota and Virginia, blueberry. Massachusetts, corn. Hawaii Coconut These are the official state what? Corn in

Everyone says the Venus fly trap and everyone is correct. Why? Just so random. You know, if you're going to have an official state carnivorous plant, might as well be the best. I always wanted a Venus flytrap as a kid.

They're totally good about... If you have a fly problem, they will eat one fly every... And I heard that you can, like, feed them, like, little bits of, like, meat and cheese and stuff. Really? That's what I heard.

So Chris, a few weeks ago you came back from, I think it was Penny Arcade Expo, and you had some books that a listener had given you to sort of form the seat of the Good Job Brain Library. Indeed. And as you guys know, you often tease me for it. I have a lot of just weird old trivia books laying around.

Never once teased you for having weird old trivia books. I think we're impressed. I say wow sincerely, not sarcastically. Like, whoa, that's cool. So in the spirit of the Good Job by the Library, I wanted to compile a quiz using my old favorite trivia book. So I am holding here a copy of a book called Puzzle Quiz, which I got, I don't even remember when I got this book.

It looks old. Well, based on the fonts, I would say, in the late 70s. Yeah, the copyright did on the book is 1978. Well, there we go. I was not reading then. I was not quite that advanced. I must have gotten this sometime in the early 80s, I'm guessing. So it's by author Stephen Barr, and it is brain teasers and some puzzles and riddles,

some outright trivia, a lot of logic questions. And I read this book a lot as a kid. You can see it's been well loved. So I went through, and I have chosen a selection of questions. from puzzle quiz to give to you guys. From your childhood. Yes, these are trivia from Collins' past. Are we smarter than Colin when he was eight years old?

Well, I have no idea which of these I got when I was eight years old. But so buzz in when you think you have the answer. Now, and I want to just as a framing here, a lot of these are kind of not tongue-in-cheek, but cheeky, maybe. Are these pre-dad jokes? No, they're not that bad. They're not that bad. Okay. Everybody looks at Chris.

I know. We already have enough of those. Here we go. What are the largest living things? Oh. What are the largest living things? Dana. Uh, the whale. Not the whale.

Largest animal is the whale. Chris. Redwoods? Yes, California Redwood trees. I thought there's like a lateral thinking puzzle. Oh, okay. Oh, sorry. Yeah.

So some of these, they're mostly trivia. Got it. Okay. Yeah. All right. All right, here we go. This is a two-part question here. What timepiece has the fewest number of moving parts?

Karen. Sun dial. It is indeed a sundial. Zero. Yeah. What timepiece has the greatest number of moving parts? Huh. Pocket watch.

What time is? Chris. Big Ben. The answer is an hourglass. Oh, that's great. That is so good. An hourglass timer with its uncounted grains of sand. Oh, wow, that's clever.

Yeah. That's clever. What is the biggest Roman number that spells an English word? I'll give you a few seconds here. You have your patent paper if you want to new around with this. Oh, Karen's ready to answer. Civil? Oh, sorry, right.

It must be a valid Roman numeral, meaning not just using the letters. Right, right. Right, so this would be a number that the Romans could express a quantity with. Okay, give us a second here. Let's try to figure this out. Wow. Chris. Mix.

M-I-X. The answer, as written, most people think it is mixed. Mid is still bigger. M-I-D. Oh, mid is a bigger, yeah, okay. Wow, okay. What is the biggest country on the equator? The biggest country on the equator.

Dana. Is it Brazil? It is Brazil. It is Brazil. More than twice the size of any other country on the equator. Huh. What well-known English word has I-I in it? Karen.

Skiing. Yes, of course. Approximately, how many cells are in an egg yolk? Oh. Chris. One. Yeah. Correct.

One cell in the egg yolk. Yeah, okay. That's very, whenever a logic puzzle asks you a question that's like asking you to estimate what seems like some huge amount, it's probably, well, the answer is probably zero or one right that's a good point that's totally good point all right last one here hydrogen is so called because it generates water greek hydro for what is oxygen named generates oxy what's oxy that's really what it's asking what is oxy for generating acid oxis oxes oh thank you stephen bar reaching through the years and giving us some questions from puzzle quiz nice i think we would have been friends as kids. That book is up my alley.

I think I've had books like that. Oh, yeah. I think we all have had to have books like that to end up here. Yeah. Yeah, there's probably like a set of steps. Yeah, you're right. It is very self-selected. This is a true story. It happened right here in my town. One night, 17 kids woke up, got out of bed, looked into the dark, and they never came back. I'm the director of Barbarian. A lot of people died and a lot of

weird ways. We're not going to find it in the news because the police covered everything all up. On August days. This is where the story really starts. Weapons. All right. And I have one last segment here. And Zach, Zach wrote in and emailed us and said, hey, guys, you know, I was thinking

and from experience in pub trivia myself, I think you guys should do a section. about company stock names. Oh, okay. And we do get these in public trivia a lot. And when you say stock name, you're talking about like the stock symbols. So when you're trading on the New York Stock Exchange, these are the up to four letter usually abbreviations for the companies. Yes.

Yes. So, for example, Apple is AAPL. Right. Google is G-O-O-G. I'm going to say the company name and you guys guess what you think the, you know, some companies choose funny, pun, fun, fun. names that company decided to pick as their stock symbols. Speaking of fun, actually, someone does have fun F-U-N as their symbol, and that is the Cedar Fair Entertainment Company.

Okay. They manage and own lots of different amusement parks across the United States. Knottesbury Farm famously and also Cedar Point. Cedar Point, very big. So their stock symbol is F-U-N. All right. Here we go. What do you think Harley-Davidson uses as their stock symbol?

Answers up. Chris says hog. Dana says vroom. Colin says hog. It is hog. H-O-G. I had R-R-R. What symbol does Ceeley Corporation use?

Answers up. Chris says Z, Z, Z, Z. Dana says bed and Colin says ZZZ. It's actually ZZ, but on the right track. ZZ. Z. Z. Z. Celia, of course, the mattress company. Mattress company. Yep.

The Avis Budget Group, Inc. Trades under what symbol? Inc. I-N-C or I-N-K? I-N-C. Avis Budget Group, Inc. Avis Budget Group, Inc. Oh, the two companies are two. Oh, I see. I didn't know they were the same company.

everybody Colin says car Dana says ink INC and Chris says car It is car The Avis and budget rental Car company I was going back forth like it's either rent or car

What company uses the symbol BID What company uses the symbol BID Or bid Oh Everybody says, eBay, you are all

incorrect. It is Sotheby. Sotheby. Okay, I was going back and forth. I was going back and forth. Another auction company. I'm going for a goose egg, for it all wrong. That's a trick. 100% incorrect. Steinway musical instruments the company, they're famous for their pianos,

use, their stock symbol is to honor a famous composer. What do you think its stock symbol is? answers up Chris says B-A-C-H for Bach Dana says B-E-E-E-T for Beethoven and Colin says L-V-B and you are correct L-V-B-L-V-B

Ludwig van Beethoven Very clever I thought about Chop for Chappon Mazz Yeah Moths for Mots Right right right that's a good one

Yep. So some of these are actually, they seem pretty modern. Because you think, oh, the single-letter ones must be really old American companies. No, but they change hands. But they change hands all the time. So, yes, Ford trades under F. Who trades under P? This is a modern one.

Oh, it is? PayPal. No. Incorrect. Part of eBay. That's right, yeah. Although they're spinning off. It's weird.

It's weird. I was going to guess price line. It is Pandora. Oh, right. That's right. Interesting. Yeah. Last question.

There are two letters that are currently unassigned. That means no companies are using them. What are the two letters that are currently unassigned to anything? Colin. X and W. W is Wayfair and X is U.S. Steel. So, correct. Q?
