Fans crushed the music and pop culture questions — nailing Hot Buttered Soul, Chef on South Park, and Moses — yet completely fumbled Isaac Hayes's Oscar moment, with only 33% correctly identifying 'Theme from Shaft' as his Academy Award winner. They know the legend, but missed his biggest trophy!
When asked about Isaac Hayes's birth name, not a single fan picked 'Isaac Douglas Hayes Jr.' or 'Isaac Martin Hayes Jr.' — 100% of wrong answers went to 'Isaac William Hayes Jr.', revealing that fans are consistently close but just one middle name away from greatness.
