I'll give it to you, although it wasn't very specific k:

Yes, she expected the chunks of semi-sweet chocolate to melt throughout the whole cookie and make a chocolate cookie. Instead they stayed in chunks. The chocolate chip cookie was born.

Geez, at this rate there won't be a winner if everyone keeps chiming in k:

Score:

a1s: 1
Sebastianos: 1
Fruit Pie Jones: 3
Kearnsey: 1
Allyfaucet: 2
#BlakhOle#: 1
Yobor: 1

Question 11

Eric Whitacre, one of my favorite modern composers, wrote a choral work entitled Lux Aurumque, one of the most beautiful ever. He has arranged it for several different ensemble types. How many has he arranged, and what for what type of ensemble were they written for?

And they are made in almost every household?

allso what commonwealth did you refer to?

P.S. and just to be anal: how can you call the event a complete accident if she intended to get chocloate cookies (that weren't chips)? I would call that a minorly unexpected event.

This one ain't easy. Here's my best guess after lots of Googling:

SATB choral arrangement
TTBB choral arrangement
Symphonic band
Wind ensemble
String ensemble

So close...so very very close. I would put Symphonic Band and Wind Ensemble as the same though so you are still missing one.

The one remaining was arranged by Whitacre for a special performance. I think they talk about it on his web forum (link to it from www.bcminternational.com) It is currently unavailable for purchase.

One more and Fruit Pie Jones wins.

Question 12:

In Puccini's La Boh?me, the dying seamstress' is called Mimi. However, this is not her real name. What is Mimi's real name?
