Good job, SCA!

Good job, SCA. However, answer #11 now seems a bit misleading. Gilbert is better known for creating art than supporting it.

But that question was about the performing arts: acting, singing, dancing, etc. Writing the plays and songs isn’t performing them.

Previous IQs:

Were you a cartoon character in a Christian-themed kids’ magazine, intended to teach moral conduct? - Goofus, the oaf
Were you, too? - Gallant, the good kid
Did you marry a cursed woman who could only be beautiful half of every day? - Sir Gawaine, in Arthurian legend

The question was, “Known for the performing arts….” I think the more accurate and helpful answer would have been simply yes.

Rereading that was what made me think of Gilbert.
