Geopardy time

So today in class, we played Jeopardy (Geo party as it has been referred to) where we were all assigned three questions and had to answer them.

Needless to say, this was an epic fail.  A big fucking epic fail.

The main failing is the way the questions were asked.  For example:

"Are double stops common on the double bass?"

Of course they are, so we answered accordingly, and we were wrong.  Here  is why this question is a fail.

1.  Does the question refer to solo lit or orchestral?
2.  Does the question refer to double stops being exclusive to the bass?
3.  How does one define common?  Like in every piece or used once or twice?

Anyway, this class sucks.  There have been numerous other retarded questions.  Such as:

"What is the biggest interval that one hand with two mallets could play on a marimba?"

I think this depends on the size of the person, and the octave that the marimba is being played in.  I mean, what if Rachmaninoff was playing marimba; I'm pretty sure he could stretch like crazy.

Well, good thing this retarded class is about to end because this class is a joke.  In other news, I'm the Wiz Khalifa.  And bitches love the theoretical physics.
