Congratulations, **Elendil’s Heir**! (I would never have gotten that; I thought it was Kemal Ataturk.) Previous IQs IQ1: Are you an Austrian painter, whose work, such as _The Kiss_, is notable for a frank eroticism? Correct, Gustav Klimt; in fact, it was your answer to a previous IQ that put me in mind of this artist. IQ2: Are you a Merry Prankster? Ken Kesey, a companion of Jack Kerouac…though now I realize, it, either would have been correct. IQ3: Are you the founder of the modern, secular republic of Turkey? Correct, Kemal Ataturk. On to L: IQ1: Are you an actress whose most famous character lent her name to high-ranking FBI official Mark Felt? IQ2: Are you a two-sport American Olympian who ran the 100m hurdles in the 2012 Beijing Olympics, then was part of the U.S. bobsledding team in the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics? IQ3: Were you an accomplished actor who became typecast after playing an obnoxious, hypocritical Army surgeon in a long-running sitcom? > [@Prof.Pepperwinkle](#): > > IQs: > > 1. Are you the best known resident of Coconino County? I think I know who you were thinking of, **Prof P** , but I’d have to guess that the best known resident of Coconino County is now Jim Walmsley, the ultramarathoner whose training group is nicknamed “the Coconino Cowboys”. ---

And Ignatz, too. But how many people now recognize Krazy Kat now? Probably as many who recognize Jim Walmsley. I’d guess, anyhoo. ---
