> [@SCAdian](#): > > IQ1: Did you kill a man in his bathtub? > IQ2: Were you a Roundhead leader? > IQ3: Are you the Duchess of Cambridge? Would you believe I first heard of Charlotte Corday in an Addams Family novel I read back around fourth grade? The other two, just for the record, were Oliver Cromwell and Catherine Middleton. Looking at EH’s recently updated list, I see that O, X, Y, and Z are the only letters that haven’t been used yet this year. I’m not feeling adventurous enough to try X, Y or Z, and the only ‘O’ who comes readily to mind is Otto Kretschmer, who is probably a little too obscure for most of you. So I guess I will try … R. By the way, for the new people who’ve joined us recently: I don’t have internet access at work, so I’m only available in the evening or on my days off. ---
