What's the name of the french dish where they take a small bird, poke out it's eyes and feed it constantly and then drown it in scotch? You're supposed to eat it with a cloth over your face to hide the sin.

You're probably thinking of the Ortolan Bunting.

There's a line from a movie(? show?) and I can't remember the movie or the entirety/exactness of the line. It's something like:

"What causes this...fire in your belly? Is it cause you haven't got a man?"

Or something to that effect. I -think- the movie involved sword fighting. And it wasn't "Working Girl" which was the movie that popped up when I tried Google.

Anyone know?

edit: More info.

I think it was the villain saying it to the heroine. I'm pretty sure they were dressed fantasy-style or renaissance or period or something. I think the movie might have been pretty terrible...

Is this it by any chance?

It's from the 2006 BBC Series 'Robin Hood'. It seems to match the renaissance-style, swordfighting, villian talking to woman, and fire in the belly.

That's it! Thank you!

How did you find it?

I did a search for "fire in your belly" at http://movie.subtitlr.com/

Assuming all your names are in column A, you could use:
code:
=COUNTIF(A:A,"John")

So, in order to help my little brother get better at mental math, we play that game where you add/subtract/multiply/divide four numbers and try to get them to ten.

(e.g., [4 5 3 9] --> ((9-4)-3)*5=10).

Obviously, there are some that won't work, [1 1 1 1] being an extreme example. Is there anyway to tell which ones will or won't work besides brute force? Additionally, are there any solvers online? I don't even know where to begin googling for that.

This sounds similar to the numbers game they play on Countdown/Letters and Numbers.

There are a few solvers online, such as the one below which I think may work for you as it allows you to set only 4 of the variables:

I googled first and went through lists of died too young musicians and there doesn't seem to be anyone that this generation truly mourns for musically.

I did a search now too and Avicii stood out as the most well known name to me so maybe he counts?

Seems fine to me.
