If they hadn't been too early, it would not be as iconic. Likely a quickie - I suspect some of you will know this one. | ||

They = Human? Adult? Male/female? Are there [LTPF list of integers] of them? Is this a true story? FYOI? FSEI? Did it happen in [LTPF list of continents]? [LTPF List of Centuries]? Were they early for: a party? Some other gathering to which they were guests? Some gathering which they would have been at but may not have been guests (like a concert that they were singing at?) Or were they simply ahead of their time for doing something? | ||

They: H/A/M? The early bird catches the worm? Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise? The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese? | ||

North America [LTPF List of Centuries]? 20th Were they early for: a party? Some other gathering to which they were guests? Some gathering which they would have been at but may not have been guests (like a concert that they were singing at?) Or were they simply ahead of their time for doing something? This - no to rest, although it was Yopishly a "concert", though they weren't singing. They: H/A/M? HA-Mixed The early bird catches the worm?

Are any of them relevant as individuals? Or only as a group? If so, are there [LTPF list of integers] relevant individuals? Are [LTPF list of integers] of them male? Female? Did it happen in [LTPF list of North American Countries]? (If USA also substitute LTPF list of states). Also, did it happen in [LTPF list of decades]? Technology relevant? Electronics? Youtube? | ||

Are any of them relevant as individuals? One of them, more so, but... Or only as a group? ...mainly this. If so, are there [LTPF list of integers] relevant individuals? Overall, there are *does math* 156, including the group. Are [LTPF list of integers] of them male? The group of 144 is HA-Mixed. The other 22 are HAM. Female? Did it happen in [LTPF list of North American Countries]? (If USA also substitute LTPF list of states). California Also, did it happen in [LTPF list of decades]? 1980s Technology relevant? Electronics? Youtube? None of these, although there is a clip of the event on YouTube. | ||

Shows how well I can do math...BLOOPER: 166 total relevant - group of 144 is HA-Mixed, other 22 are HAM. | ||

Uh, 144+22 is 166, not 156. Did you do math badly, or is one of these a typo? Are the other 22 (HAM) also a group? Can we call the group of 144 the Fun Group and the 22 males the Little Men's Group? You mentioned it was yope a concert. Was the Little Men's Group the one performing? Was the Fun Group present? The Little Men's Group? Politics relevant? Ronald Reagan? (California movie star who elected president in 1980s.) | ||

Are the other 22 (HAM) also a group? They are two groups. Can we call the group of 144 the Fun Group Sure and the 22 males the Little Men's Group? Sadly, we cannot - see first answer. You mentioned it was yope a concert. Right, but there was another event that supersedes the yopish-concert. Was the Little Men's Group the one performing? No Was the Fun Group present? Yes The Little Men's Group? Both groups in the 22 were present. Politics relevant? No Ronald Reagan? No (California movie star who elected president in 1980s.) "Ronald Reagan?? The actor??" | ||

Rockapella? (Completely random, but since I've had WitWiCS in my head for the past couple days...and I'm pretty sure that was your fault =D "Well, she sneaks around the world from Kiev to Carolina, she's a sticky-fingered filcher from Berlin down to Belize; she'll take you on a ride on a slow boat to China, tell me...") | ||

HINT: The Fun Group is a type of band, and the two other groups are sports teams. So what type of band could it be, and what's the sport (remember that the two smaller groups consist of 11 people)? | ||

The two other groups, are they opposing teams in a football match? Yes And the band is the entertainment Yes in the interval? No RECAP: A marching band at a football game did something too early, which, had they not done it, likely would have caused a certain moment in the game to be less iconic than it is. | ||

Did they start playing too early? Marching? Did whatever they did focus attention on something relevant that happened? Streaking relevant? | ||

Stanford-Cal? Band on the field? And the trombone player gets run over? And Cal Wins? | ||

Stanford-Cal? Band on the field? And the trombone player gets run over? And Cal Wins? Yes to all - we've got ourselves a **********SPOILER********** In 1982, the Cal-Stanford game came down to the final play - Stanford was up 20-19 with 4 seconds left; all they had to do was kick off and stop Cal on the return in order to clinch the victory. So convinced was the Stanford marching band of the win that they counted down from 4 as soon as a Cal player touched the ball, and when the clock hit zero, they marched onto the field and began playing. Unfortunately, the play was still going on: the Cal players lateraled the ball to each other to prevent the game-ending tackle. After 5 laterals, Kevin Moen ended up with the ball, and sprinted into the end zone with the game-winning touchdown, knocking over one of the Stanford trombone players in the process. The play - now immortalized as "The Play" - would probably not have been as iconic as it is now had the band not come out on the field in mid-play. Nice job, everyone, with bonus points to Gregory for the leap that solved this "lateral" (*groan*) puzzle. A couple of videos: The Play And a similar play from 2007 involving 15 (!!!) laterals Again, nice job. | ||

And look up the River City Relay- New Orleans gets a 4-lateral 80 yard touchdown on the final play, and just needs an extra point to send it into Overtime and keep their playoff hopes alive. They miss it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Od9C2dKiCI | ||

I remember that one too. And the Music City Miracle as well. After the River City one, I remember Carney got slammed by pretty much EVERYONE for a while. |
