#1 was Cy Twombly.
#2 is correct.
#3 is Thurston Howell III. I wouldn’t count “The” unless there was no better alternative, and Tina wasn’t trapped on the island, her character Ginger was.

1 DQ reserved.

154

Tristram Shandy, title character of the 18th-century novel
Yes, Yes

The Professor was given no other name officially, IIRC. I think it’s a valid answer, but I will accept the vote of the players.

IMDB lists that character as Professor Roy Hinckley.

158

My vote is a split decision. I would say “The” in “The Professor” is a definitive article and not part of his name, but I would have accepted Tina Louise, and rephrased by calling out character specifically. Do with that what you will.

159

I’ll drop it.
