> [@Prof.Pepperwinkle](#): > > 1. I am not Agatha Christie. > 2. I am not Marie Curie (??) > 3. I am not Charles Addams (??) A clean sweep! In retrospect, I should have left out “jointly with your husband” or made the Christie question harder. IQs: 1. Did you run for governor of New York (not California) as a Democrat (not a Republican) in 2018 (not 1962)? 2. In a Shakespeare play, are you a much-decorated military leader who becomes elected consul, but then abandons Rome to side with the enemy Volscians? 3. Were you Tom Terrific’s arch-nemesis? ---
