However, I will submit this to the judgment of the group; if you feel I’ve violated the spirit of the game, I will forfeit my guess and let @ChockFullOfHeadyGoodness pick another; whatever you all feel is fair. I won’t interfere in your discussion, but abide your judgment.

Full disclosure I’ve sometimes used the internet to check that a proposed IQ was technically correct before posting it. For example I might remember the Opus memoir was “Naked I came” check the internet before posting and replace it with “Naked came I” in the actual post. Or perhaps if in looking I found that I misremembered and it was an entirely different character then I wouldn’t use that IQ at all. I think that this is fair since I am relying purely on my memory for the basic nature of the question and just reducing the number of eventual retractions.

But it think for answering an IQ as the leader, or a final first/last name guess it should be based entirely on memory, with some slack given for getting it mostly right.

on to T.

1. Did you create Drax the Destroyer

I would say definitely the first two, but not the last two, as the pictures are at least arguably more important than the words in those kinds of books.

Again, just my two cents’ worth.

I would say definitely the first two, but not the last two, as the pictures are at least arguably more important than the words in those kinds of books.

I’d say yes on the first two, no on graphic novel, no on a play, and it depends on children’s book. A Richard Scarry book - no, Dr. Seuss - yes. Probably depends on the word to picture ratio.
