IQs

  1. Did you slay a six-fingered count in revenge for your father’s murder?
  2. Did you play the title character in Mr. Holmes?
  3. Did you play Kinch on Hogan’s Heroes?
83

No clue on any of them.

  1. Hello, I am not Inigo Montoya, and you did not kill my father and do not need to prepare to die.
  2. No clue.
  3. Got nothin’.

Don’t know IQ3, IQ2 is Isabella Allende. Answers are out of order because yes, I am Ignatius Loyola, former soldier, founder of the Society of Jesus, and saint of the Roman Catholic Church. I thought picking a religious figure would be a challenging twist. But I negelected to figure in @Elendil_s_Heir’s ability to anticipate me - that’s the second time EH has sussed out one of my picks. Clearly, I have to start thinking “What would fool EH?”

Nice job, EH!
