\*\*Originally Posted by astorian View Post IQ1) Did you win the very first Grammy for Best Album? IQ2) Are you the most successful South African Jewish musician to come from the British Invasion? IQ3) Did you and fellow running backs Jim Kiick and Larry Csonka carry the Dolphins to three straight Super Bowls?\*\* Henry Mancini (for his \*\*\*Peter Gunn \*\*\*soundtrack), Manfred Mann, and Mercury Morris Crud… I know almost nothing about Japanese art, so I don’t even know what DQs to ask.

> [@Prof.Pepperwinkle](#): > > …And yes, assume English name order unless you want to explain. Agreed. Previous IQs: Were you the heroine of _The Pirates of Penzance_? - Mabel. Did you burn most of your husband’s letters to you? - Martha Washington. Did you live in a little house in Paris that was covered in vines? - Madeleine, in the kids’ books. DQs: Has worked in film? Has won a top award in his field? One DQ reserved (but I bet **Prof. P.** has it). IQs: Did you play Prince Ruprecht? Did you write “A Mighty Fortress is Our God”? Were you a prominent German clerical opponent to Nazism? ---
