No more IQs, please, as Prof. P. is reserving two DQs and ChockFull has one, and that will put us over 20.

43

DQs:

  1. Best known for comedy?
  2. Still active?
44

Edward Zwick, Zippy the Pinhead, and Zed.

I’ll wait to see the answer to Prof. Pepperwinkle’s first DQ (#2 is a repeat of #4 on the list) before I cash in my reserved DQ.

45

That’s a good plan.

46

Man, I have bad eyesight. Despite reading it multiple times, I could have sworn DQ2 was “Still alive”, not “still active”. Hence my nonsensical claim it was a repeat.

47

The rookie shoots and scores! Yes, I am

Edward Zwick

Didn’t know he’d directed a Jack Reacher film. He’s the director of my favorite Civil War movie, Glory, as it happens: Edward Zwick - Wikipedia

Well done, ChockFull!

Cool! A quick search shows me this is my first Botticelli game in about 2 years. I guess I have (re)beginner’s luck.

Hopefully I don’t repeat anything recent.

I am Q

and I don’t know how to change font sizes in Discourse.
