At this late stage may I still join to make IQ’s? and DQ’s if earned? ---

It’s OK with me if it’s OK with the other players. ---

Well, thanks all. How about IQs: 1. Are you the personification of the USA? 2. Did you perform with any family members? 3. Did you perform with an English school boys uniform on? I read most of the thread but yet happily apologize for any repeats. ---

> [@MonkeyMensch](#): > > 1. Did you perform with an English school boys uniform on? Yes, I am Angus Young! He is the guitarist for AC/DC. Origin questions were hard to answer, as he was born in Scotland, and his family moved to Australia when he was 5, so he would really identify as Australian. Here’s a video of [Who Made Who](https://youtu.be/PiZHNw1MtzI), where a bunch of AC/DC fans dress as him and do his dance moves. Congrats MonkeyMensch! You get the next round with Z, then we’ll go back to free form. ---

Good job, Monkey! I’m not a follower of AC/DC myself, so I wouldn’t have come up with him. ---

May I defer to another doper who’s been in the game until I get my Boticelli cap back on? It’s been years… Volunteers? I’m happy to join in but have serious gearing up to do. Thanks… Actually, being “technically British” was a clue since he was born in Scotland which is occasionally forgotten as being part of Great Britain. ---

I can go ahead right now with a solvable one so we can either make it to 1)‘A’ or freestyle, or 2)March. Fire away! Shoot, with 'Z’s the DQs ought to pile up in a hurry anyway… ---
