Okay, I was just told that there's an event that we're doing here at work (the old job, not the new one) and we need a tiebreaker question for it. Something along the lines of "how many jellybeans in the jar" where they will never get it totally right, but one team will be the closest to the actual answer, and therefore the winners.

Any ideas?

Alan Young was the voice of Scrooge McDuck on Disney's animated television show, Ducktales. But most baby boomers may remember him as the star of what black and white television series?

Aparently my boss doesn't want to have to deal with a jar full of jellybeans :googly: , but wants a similar, numerical, type of question.

I thought you meant the actor. I knew his first name was Jonas but I forgot the last name. I think Gilligan's first name was Willy.

I gotcha. The only reason I knew that was because a friend of mine named his band that back in college.

with all the census and 3,000,000 talk lately, how about something like:

how many people are born every day/minute/hour?
how many people die every day/minute/hour?
