  5. deceased
  6. last name begins with H

Prose is included in the Arts, I believe, so I won’t ding you for that answer.

Thanks, but I’ll retract it. I figured prose/literature fell under The Arts, but needed clarification.

2 DQs reserved

71

IQs:

  1. Despite this object’s recurring appearances over the years, were you the first to accurately predict its return?
  2. Were you the prince, named after your father, who’s brother poisoned him and then married your mother?
  3. Were you referred to as that person’s friend?
72

IQs

  1. Are you William S. Portrt’s pen name?
  2. Are you the title character of one of Bruce Willis’s more self-indulgent films?
  3. Did you say, “Give me liberty or give me death”?
73

Not Halley (or his comet); not Hamlet or Horatio.

Don’t know who William S. Portrt was, but someone with a very similar name used the pen name of O. Henry. :wink: Dunno as to the second, and I’m not Patrick Henry.

I think we now have more than earned 20 DQs, so no more IQs, please.
