IQs:

  2. Are you the murderer’s victim in that same story?
  3. Have you been portrayed by Mark Hamill, Heath Ledger and Jack Nicholson?

Dunno, dunno and not the Joker.

#1 was Jefferson Hope.
#2 was Joseph Strangerson.
Correct on #3.

I doubt this is from The Hound of the Baskervilles. I guess I need to re-read my Doyle in 2019. I don’t remember anyone else at the moment…

2 DQs reserved.

Oh, wait.

IQ: Did you hire Sherlock Holmes in The Red-Headed League?

Dingdingding! Yes, indeed, I am the plump, dull London pawnbroker

Jabez Wilson

I’ve used him for IQs in several previous Botticelli rounds, most recently in June. Good job, Prof. P.! Please start a new January thread for a “K” person.

All I remembered was “Jabez”.

I’ll start the January thread soon.

Happy New Year! Here’s the January thread: https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=868141
