Previous IQs: Were you a football player-turned-actor in the Seventies? - I’ll rephrase. Were you married to Keiko and had a daughter named Molly? - Yes, Miles O’Brien, on _Star Trek: Deep Space Nine._ Did the Mountain crush your head in a recent TV show? - Prince Oberyn, on _Game of Thrones_. DQ: Criminal act resulted in death(s)? IQs: Were you a white football player-turned-actor in the Seventies? Did you partly inspire a fictional urban politician?

I’ve been sitting on some DQs trying to come up with somebody-- anybody-- to guess. **KO** , I think you may have successfully stumped us. Actually, I can’t remember if I ever gave my answers: 1. Publius Ovidius Naso, better known as **Ovid** , one of the three canonic poets of Latin literature. 2. William of Ockham, Franciscan friar, known for his works in logic, physics and theology. 3. Aristotle Onassis, one of the world’s richest men during his lifetime, second husband of Jacqueline Kennedy. ---

Previous IQs: Were you a white football player-turned-actor in the Seventies? - I was thinking of Merlin Olsen, but OK. Did you partly inspire a fictional urban politician? - Martin O’Malley, a likely Democratic contender for the Presidency next year, loosely inspired the Baltimore mayor on _The Wire_. Did your famous dad not accompany you on your recent college campus visits? - Consider how the question is worded. Not Barack Obama, but his daughter, Malia. Still, I have no idea who this O’\_\_\_\_\_ dude was. Stumped. ---
