DQ15: I am NOT known as a criminal DQ16: I was born BEFORE 1960 DQ17: I AM known for sports DQ18: I am NOT known for a sport involving a ball. DQ19: I am NOT known for a team sport.

My intention in adopting that convention was to prevent the first player to log on and get to 20 from pre-empting the DQs of other players, but since the Prof and EH share an interpretation and everyone seems to be having trouble getting this American athlete whose name is known to a non-American member of a younger generation, I’ll allow it. DQ 1: I am real DQ 2: I am male DQ 3: I am American DQ 4: My last name begins with F. DQ 5: I am currently alive DQ 6: I am not known for the arts DQ 7: I was born since 1900 DQ 8: I was born WEST of the Mississipi DQ 9: I was born NORTH of the Mason-Dixon line DQ10: I am NOT known for science DQ11: I am NOT PRIMARILY known for political or military endeavours, Although I am currently active in politics DQ12: I was born BEFORE 1980.

DQ15: I am NOT known as a criminal DQ16: I was born BEFORE 1960 DQ17: I AM known for sports DQ18: I am NOT known for a sport involving a ball. DQ19: I am NOT known for a team sport. DQ20: I AM an Olympic athlete DQ21: I AM a Summer Olympian DQ22: I AM a track and field athlete ---

**Congratulations, Professor!** I have indeed followed my predeliction for choosing people with things named after them (Planck, Ampere, Dell …) and chosen [Richard Douglas Fosbury](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_Fosbury), from Portland Oregon who is co-owner of Galena Engineering and currently running for the Idaho House of Representatives, but is best known for revolutionising the High Jump with the Fosbury Flop that won him gold in the 1968 Summer Olympics. ---
