Reinterpreting EH’s third IQ as “Were you the father of a person I mistakenly thought had been a Cub Scout on a certain date?”, and answering his second DQ: **G** 1. Real 2. Female 3. First name begins with G 4. Living 5. Known for the Arts 6. Not American 7. Born after 1970 8. Born after 1990 9. European 10. Known primarily for Acting 11. Not famous before the year 2000 12.

First name starts with GA -to- GH 20. Best known from a series of movies 21. Could be considered a beauty 22. Movies were in a genre (sf, fantasy, crime, etc.) 23. A main character I believe Chock has one remaining DQ, and DLR has two. ---

To save time, I’m going to accept EH’s last IQ as a replacement for his faulty one, say “DQ”, and answer his remaining DQ from before. **G** 1. Real 2. Female 3. First name begins with G 4. Living 5. Known for the Arts 6. Not American 7. Born after 1970 8. Born after 1990 9. European 10. Known primarily for Acting 11. Not famous before the year 2000 12. From the British Isles 13. Known for television 14. English 15. Best known for movies 16. White 17. Famous before 2010 18. Primarily known for one single role 19. First name starts with GA -to- GH 20. Best known from a series of movies 21. Could be considered a beauty 22. Movies were in a genre (sf, fantasy, crime, etc.) 23. A main character 24. Last name begins from A-M 25. Has not appeared in a Harry Potter/Fantastic Beasts movie 26. Movies adapted from a Young Adult (YA)/children’s book(s) 27. Not American movies So. Please ask your final “Firstname Lastname” DQs not later than noon EDT tomorrow (Mon 27 Mar). Though I expect someone will ask the right question within the next hour or two… ---

I’m guessing it’s the actress for either Susan or Lucy Pevensie in the Narnia films. Unfortunately I don’t know any of the child actor names. Harry Potter is explicitly ruled out by #25. Most of the other YA film series are either American-made (Twilight, Percy Jackson) or the wrong time frame after 2010 (Hunger Games, Divergent, Maze Runner) or stalled after one film (His Dark Materials was British, Lemony Snicket) so not a series. Narnia is the only one left that I can think of that isn’t ruled out by a DQ answer. ---

I’ve seen the first Narnia movie a half-dozen times, ‘cause my grandson loved it so. I remember Lucy’s actresses’ name being similar to the romance novelist Georgette Heyer, but that’s all. ---

As I see it, either Prof. Peppenwinkle’s guess was close enough for the win, so he goes next, or else no one knew the name of the actress in question so by default it goes back to Prof. Peppenwinkle. So either way, I think you’re up next professor. Congratulations! ---

Exactly. I’ve seen the movie, but couldn’t quite remember her name. So, that means SCAdian goes again. ---
