Damn, this game moved fast when I was away from the boards. For completeness, the people in my IQs were Sebastian Shaw (Anakin Skywalker in Return of the Jedi), Steve Howe, and Zac Starkey (through Alan White). I don’t have anything else to offer right now, but figured I should at least come clean on my questions. ---

> [@SCAdian](#): > > DQ: Born south of Baghdad? This was actually a tricky DQ for Tenzing Norgay.

Luckily, most of Tibet and all of Nepal is closer to the equator than Baghdad, which I didn’t know strictly from memory. ---
