Grats and welcome to the game, **Baffle**. The quizmaster usually sums up the DQ answers in a numbered list. That way, the players don’t have to hunt for the posts and know how close they’re getting to 20. In your case, it would look like this: DQ Summary 1. Real 2. Male * * * IQ1: Are you a country singer-songwriter known for “King of the Road”? IQ2: Have you been the #1 ranked men’s tennis player for 302 weeks? IQ3: Were you one of the “M&M Boys” with Mickey Mantle? ---
