IQ: Did you invent a type of carnival ride that was first used in Chicago in 1893?
We already have twenty answered DQs; just waiting for Knowed Out’s final earned one to be asked.
DQ: Is the something for which you are named a type of living thing?
I think you misunderstood DQ #17. Would you like to rephrase?
DQ: Is the something for which you are named bigger than a breadbox?
No, no. Something is named after him, not vice-versa.
DQ: Is the something which is named after you bigger than a breadbox?
(and now we present the Farthingby Breadbox)
Is it bigger than a breadbox? Is it smaller than the Titanic?
Hmm. Kinda hard to say, but I’ll go with…
F.
- real
- male
- last name starts with F
- dead
- American
- not known for the arts
- died before 1950
- not known for political/military work
- died after 1850
- not known for business
- not known for science
- died after 1900
- known for one particular event
- not a crime
- not known for an athletic feat
- not known for discovering something
- something is named after me
- that something is not edible
- last name consists of more than one syllable
- not connected to transportation
- thing named after me is not bigger than a breadbox
OK, that’s it for DQs. Discuss amongst yourselves, and please ask your earned “Are you Firstname Lastname?” questions by noon Sat. EST.
Well, there goes my theory…
Sounds like it’s fairly close to breadbox-sized, then.
Best guess I had was the inventor of the Ferris Wheel, but 3 of the DQ answers say it isn’t so.
Maybe the thing isn’t a physical object. We weren’t really able to narrow down to anything specific. Maybe it’s a situation, like Benedict Arnold.
American male, died 1900-1950, last name (of more than one syllable) starts with F, known for one event (non-criminal), and something smaller than a breadbox is named after him.
Not known for business, science, politics, military, the arts, athletics or transportation.
Well, we have until Saturday.
Ponder, muse, think, think, think…
Warmer…
All I’ve come up with so far is Ferris, of the wheel (too big), and Fetterman, of the massacre (too military)…
Any chess gambits that might fit the answers?
Colder.
My best guess is Errol Flynn, but that’s not it. I pass.
As do I.
OK, time’s up. I am Judge
John Howard Ferguson
who has gone down in infamy as the defendant in the Plessy v. Ferguson segregation case: John Howard Ferguson - Wikipedia.
The bigger-than-a-breadbox DQ was hard to answer. The case, if printed out, would fit in a breadbox, I think.
Well, I’ve heard of Plessy v. Ferguson, but would never have come up with him. Good one, EH.
