@Elendil_s_Heir

I have my “Are you Firstname Lastname?” question. May I ask it?

Let’s hear it.

[knoodler]

1 hour to get your last DQ in. @Elendil_s_Heir , @Slow_Moving_Vehicle , you are in the queue.

[Slow_Moving_Vehicle]

Post #273 was my only DQ.

[Elendil_s_Heir]

Right, then. Are you well-known for singing “We’ll Meet Again” during WWII?

[knoodler]

It’s good you came back, otherwise I would’ve awarded Slow_Moving_Vehicle the crown.

I am… Vera Lynn, popular singer and erstwhile chanteuse of wartime Great Britain, as well as before and after The Big One.

Take it away, @Elendil_s_Heir!

[Prof.Pepperwinkle]

Well solved, EH!
Nicely played, knoodler!

[knoodler]

Thanks, and thanks for tipping me on game strategies.

One thing: I can’t figure why a lot of IQs were asked which clearly were outside of what the DQs established. (Like male names or fictional characters.)
