I discovered yesterday that yesterday’s set of math questions did not get sent to all of the free subscribers as is tradition on Thursday. I unlocked the questions later, but folks did not receive the email, so everyone please feel free to check out yesterday’s questions. To make it up to everyone, today’s film questions are not from my database of questions that I wrote to get better at trivia, but rather ones that I’ve asked at my trivia nights in Columbia! The tone is a little different, but the questions are nice little puzzles to work out. No offense to me, but most of the questions I asked on LQ probably shouldn’t be asked at a bar trivia. This newsletter is for people who want to bump up their TCA on LL, but I’m also a mainstream question writer too. Please enjoy the set of 11 questions, and have a great weekend!

2. Name the two animals that are members of the Furious Five in the Kung Fu Panda films, but are not featured in the Chinese zodiac.
