1. Real 2. First name starts with J 3. Male 4. Dead 5. American 6. Not from the performing arts 7. Died after 1900 8. Common first name 9. Not primarily known for politics/military 10. Associated with NYC 11. Not best known for a single incident 12. Not known for a product, business, or service 13. Died on or after 1970 14. Not known for the visual arts 15. Died before 2000 16. Primarily known for athletic endeavours 17. Not Jim Thorpe ETA: EH, you’ve completely stumped me yet again :), so you may have three further DQs - though I rather suspect they won’t be needed. If anyone wants to use one or more pending DQs as a guess, as MonkeyMensch has done, I’m cool with that. I think there’s probably enough info out there now to solve it but you’re welcome to ask standard DQs as well. No more IQs as outstanding DQs will take us well over 20 (but again, I don’t think they will be needed). FETA: MM, you’re also entitled to one further guess. ---
