game called on account of brain

I had the opportunity to play quizmaster on the radio this morning. The two contestants didn't fare too well. The first listener to get ten correct answers would win. We never made it that far.

Here are the questions the female listener got right:

Who plays Bree on "Desperate Housewives"?
What Southern flower did Ellen Degeneres wear on her lapel during the Emmys last night?
When talking about sleep, what does R.E.M. stand for?
What company did Sam Walton start?
What local county is known for its tomatoes?

Here is the question that the male listener got right:

What hot wings restaurant first opened in Clearwater, Florida, in October 1983?

Here are the questions neither one could get:

What is on the back of the $20 bill?
What is on the back of the $10 bill?
What is the name of Britney Spears' first husband?
What did the USA celebrate in 1976?
What famous product is made of pork shoulder and ham?
Who became president when Abraham Lincoln was assassinated?
What is the most common disease in the world?
What neighboring country has more than 50% of the world's lakes?
What is Stuart Weitzman famous for designing?
Who was the second man on the moon?
What is the last name of Harry Potter's friend Hermione?
Where did Elisabeth Hasselbeck go to film "Survivor"?
What does Elisabeth Hasselbeck's husband do for a living?
What did Bart Simpson find in the Sunsphere?
What springy headwear was popular at the 1982 World's Fair?

Go ahead and post the answers that you know in the comments section. I want to know if the questions are too hard or if our listeners were just distracted. One was playing the game while driving.

I'm glad you didn't cheat, Gwen. The radio listeners didn't have access to any reference material when they played the game. You got 3 right and 2 wrong. Try again on pork shoulder & ham and Stuart Weitzman.

Nice job Caroline! You got 4 right and 2 wrong. Pork shoulder and ham stumped you too. Here's a hint: it comes in a can. You might have to look up the most common disease. I found that fact in Uncle John's Bathroom Reader.
