In the spirit of good sportsmanship and honesty, we here in the Fun Stuff Command Bunker request that you not use the internet to come up with the answers to the Quizzlers and Tuneage. Either you know it or you don't!
Tuneage
(Name the artist and song title from which the following lines were taken)
November 6 Tuneage
"You're better then the best
I'm lucky just to linger in your light
Cooler then the flip side of my pillow, that's right"
October 30 Tuneage
"Keep rockin', and keep knockin'
Whether you Louis Vuitton it up or Reebokin'
You see the hate, that they're servin' on a platter
So what we gon' have, dessert or disaster?"
A: Knock You Down, by Keri Hilson

Q: Football is played by big and small schools all over the country and often some schools simply don't have any players in their school who are capable of place kicking. Place kicking is when somebody holds the football and another guy comes up and kicks it, like when you kick a field goal or an extra point.
These teams without a place kicker are therefore incapable of kicking extra points and/or field goals because they don't have anyone who's courageous enough to hold the ball or who can kick it when it's being held. They can score touchdowns but when they do they have to run the ball for two extra points every time.
Now, a team that can't convert a place kick can do just about everything that a team that can convert one can do. They can certainly win all their games, if they are capable, or they can lose all their games. They can score touchdowns; they can score no touchdowns. But there is one thing that they simply cannot do, something that they can't accomplish. And what is that thing?
A: A team with no place kicker cannot score an odd number of points. Why not? Touchdowns are six points. And the extra points that a team with no place kicker can score are two points. They can't score a one-point extra point, and they can't kick field goals which are three points.
Stop back on Friday, November 20th (we're on hiatus next week!) for another test of your Tuneage & Quizzler skills (and if you have any good ones you think we could use, submit them by clicking on the link below).
