3 DQs
The host had to do research to verify that I was not the person who said the last one, and he isn’t going to take credit for knowing it that way.
- Real - Yes
- Male - Yes
George Armstrong Custer.
Correct (George VI).
George V.
DQ1: Living?
DQ2: Known for the Arts?
Another house rule - “the Arts” is a very broad category that, amongst other things, includes performance arts (actors, singers, comedians, supermodels, &c), visual arts (sculptors, painters, &c), creative arts (including cooks), writers, &c, &c. I like to ask this question early in the game because it can take a while to narrow down what sort of artist we’re talking about.
IQ1: Were you called the Teflon Don?
IQ2: Could Major General Stanley tell Raphael’s works from yours?

DQ. (I can’t get any G mafia name to come to mind other than Gambino, and I know that’s not right. I remember the guy, but his name escapes me)
I am not Giotto. (random guess as to whether it’s what you intended to refer to, and since I don’t know what exactly you’re referring to, I don’t know if Giotto has any possibility of working even if it wasn’t who you had in mind)
I am not George I of the United Kingdom, son of Electress Sophia of Hanover (I think the UK started under Anne)
John Gotti. (Who actually was head of the Gambino family, so you were sort of close…)
Gerard Dow. (It’s from the major general’s song in The Pirates of Penzance - “When I can tell undoubted Raphaels from Gerard Dows and Zoffanies”)
George III - Anne was the first ruler of Great Britain.

- NOT born since 1975
- Has possibly won a “major” award, depending on how one defines “major”.
6x DQ, although I suspect the last one is an English king named George.
Another house rule of note, though in your current role it only affects you indirectly - we may not ask IQs with an intended answer being someone who has already been used by a previous IQ. If this happens inadvertently and the you can answer neither, only the first to be asked will be awarded a DQ. As host, you may repeat answers as you like if they fit the questions. This is relevant as you’ll probably only get six or so King of England questions at most. I hope.
