'Way to go, **Prof. P.!** A good secondary character and just obscure enough for a good round. IQs: Was a woman from Toledo the first to write about you? Was there a character an awful lot like you, a real person, in _Gone Girl_? Did you go to Fort A.P. Hill and speak on behalf of your husband after he had surgery? ---

Correct with your two answers. The middle one is Neil Armstrong, from the old joke that shortly before he re-entered the moon lander, he quietly said “Good luck, Mr Gorsky”. Full story here: [Good Luck, Mr. Gorsky! | Snopes.com](https://www.snopes.com/quotes/mrgorsky.asp) DQ: Alive? IQ1: Did you end a famous oration with “The time is 3…[remainder drowned out by cheering]”? IQ2: Did you proudly present to your people what turned out to be one of the most worthless pieces of paper in history? IQ3: Were you boxing ‘royalty’ for a short period in the 1990s? Apologies for the British-centred questions, but I think they all achieved a sufficient level of global fame to be deemed in order. ---
