  It's Super Bowl weekend. I have $5 against my Dad that the Raiders will lose.

  The rest are all new to me.

    Andy wins those points, but he's not dumber---I did not know any of those, and he knew one. He gets discretionary points because he also knows who is in the Super Bowl.

  I know this one, because I was looking recently with Dave Mitchell at the regression tests for the warnings emitted by the source file pad.c in bleadperl. I noticed that this warning message hasn't a regression test -- it's marked as to-be-written. However I was unable to come up with a short case that triggers the warnings, because I don't fully understand the guts of lexical variables. I didn't try very hard, though.

    You know it but you did not answer the question! That's the right error message though.
    
    If no one posts a situation where it comes up, I will show what I did to get it.

  I would have guessed someone else wrote the score for Tron, but I used to own the Clockwork Orange soundtrack. That was Walter Carlos, before he became Wendy Carlos (or Wendy after being Carlos -- one or the other). You were probably looking for "Switched on Bach", or maybe "Switched on Brandenburgs".

    We have a winner!
    
    Yes, W(endy|alter) Carlos scored Tron and A Clockwork Orange, which I discovered while I was looking for Switched-On Bach [amazon.com] on Amazon.
    
    She did a lot of stuff with a Moog synthesizer [moogmusic.com], including Bach's Well Tempered Clavier (or, Synthesizer in this case).
    
    You win the Premium, Diesel, and Hydroelectrical points. Andy won the regular points.
    
    The Unleaded and Solar points are still available.

      With that much of a clue, the Solar points should be for Switch.pm. :-)

        I'd guess MIDI.pm.
