Umm, we seem to have some confusion here. IQ stands for Indirect Question. Indirect Questions do not depend on any aspect of the name you have chosen, other than the initial letter, in this case ‘J’. IQs can be any gender, time period, fictional or real life… If you can answer the above IQ with a name which fits the question (whether or not it was the specific answer I am thinking of), then you don’t owe me a DQ. If you cannot, I have to tell you who I have in mind, and unless I can be proven wrong, you do owe me a DQ. ---

> [@etv78](#): > > Need a DQ then. Ah, so you’re not Johann Sebastian Bach, whose Brandenburg Concerti 1-6 were written in 1720-something and didn’t see the light of day until ~1850. Bach sent them as a ‘job application’, having neglected to investigate whether the Margrave of Brandenburg actually had an orchestra at his disposal. They sat in a storage area of the library for years… DQ: Are you famous for athletic accomplishments? ---
