> [@divemaster](#): > > IQ3 is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, in his role as co-pilot “Roger Murdock” in **Airplane!** … Heh. Murdock was my mystery person in a Botticelli round a few years back. Previous IQs: Were you, until recently, the U.S. ambassador to Japan? - Caroline Kennedy Were you, in Robert Harris’s _Fatherland_, POTUS in 1964? - Joseph Kennedy Sr. Were you that person’s youngest son? - Edward “Ted” Kennedy Kennedy x3 again! I just noticed **SCAdian** already asked about Joe Sr., so I’ll withdraw that question. DQ: Received a top award in his field? Died before 1850? IQs: Did Jonathan Pryce play your dad in several big-budget movies? Was Emma slow to see that you were really her true love? After 1950, was your coffin hauled in a mule-pulled wagon? ---
