[quote=“Dead\_Cat, post:20, topic:813813”] I’ll take a stab at Phileas Fogg for the first one, but I suspect you have swept me again. I am not Winnie the Pooh (suspect it’s not who you were thinking of, up to you if you think it’s a valid answer or perhaps you want to rephrase), Peter Piper (nice one), and don’t know. 1)I was thinking of Pollyanna but Winnie the Pooh plays nicely 2)Correct 3) so not Philip Bailey. A DQ out of the effort. DQ) Are you associated with science or education? ---

Were you the lead singer for Led Zeppelin? > 3. Did you have a hit with the song _Don’t Let Me Get Me_? I am not… Peter Cook? I am not Robert Plant. Don’t know the third. Take one or two DQs. ETA: Bugger, I nearly put Peter Sellers then changed to Cook at the last moment. Having looked it up, that’s two DQs there. Those DQs will take us over twenty, so I guess it’s time to close this one for further IQs and start thinking about your final guesses. DQ answers so far: 1. Real 2. Male 3. First name starts with P 4. Not known from the performing arts 5. Dead 6. American 7. Not political/military 8. Died before 1900 9. Died after 1850 10. Not a businessman/inventor 11.
