Take 2 DQs.
IQ1: Are you a Mexican painter who had a tempestuous relationship with Diego Rivera?
IQ2: Are you a Silver Age comic artist noted for paintings of Conan the Barbarian?
IQ3: Did you and Alan Lee illustrate Faeries?
Kinda think I should get either one or three; IQ1 was Michael Faraday, IQ2 was Fra Angelico, and IQ3 was Fra Lippo Lippi. I leave it to the consensus of the community if Fra Angelico and Fra Lippo Lippo count as “F” names, since “Fra” is a title rather than a name, a point that had not occurred to me when I posted the IQs. But, that’s how they’re known. In the meantime, I’ll reserve the DQs in question, and ask just one:
DQ: Italian?
I think you should get three. “Fra” is indeed how they’re known to English speakers like us. It would be roughly analogous to a question about Mahatma Gandhi or the Dalai Lama.
