**44. Why did the protagonist in Gogol’s “Dead Souls” care about buying dead peasants, anyway? **
Chichikov just wants their names. Everyone thinks he really owns all these (live) serfs, and that he must be rich.
48. What’s the name of that kind of hat that Sherlock wears, with the visor at the front and at the back, and earflaps tied up?
Deekstalker.
**8. Who was Khan quoting when he activated the Genesis device? **
Ahab from Moby Dick by Herman Melville
**22. What winter clothing should I avoid if the fortune-teller says I’m going to suffer the fate of Isabella Duncan? **
Long Scarf
**26. What song was Oz singing when he was trying to find Buffy after Amy turned her into a rat? **
Ben by Michael Jackson
**45. What was the first name of Sunnydale Mayor Richard Wilkins’ wife? **
Edna Mae (okay, so Mae is her middle name)
Of course, we still haven’t even had a decent guess at #3.

(Note: if I gave 1/2 point scors, several half points might have accumulated. But that would be confusing).
Not sure how this fits into the rules, but I would like to ask for a clarification. Question 22: What winter clothing should I avoid if the fortune-teller says I’m going to suffer the fate of Isabella Duncan?
Do you mean Isadora Duncan?

- STRANGE QUESTIONED IN HORSE MUTILATION, said the headline, but the typesetter had made a small error.
Dropping an “R” from “Stranger” seems too obvious so I’ll propose an alternative guess – the typesetter misspelled “whore’s”.
13: The protagonist in Equus–a (superb) play by Peter Schaffer–is Alan Strang. His father was a typesetter.
Can’t believe that one took so long to get. 
Alright, might as well try the rest. From memory, no search engines, scratch paper, or calculator, and no using previous answers (I’m lazy and willing to accept defeat) 
-
British army; supposedly pissed off Hindu troops (loading involved biting the cartridge or something)
-
BART: Bay Area Rapid Transit. System of under and above ground light rail running throughtout the Bay Area (and even under the Bay!)
-
Alan Strang was the kid who mutilated horses in Peter Schafer’s excellent play “Equus.” His dad was a printer (typesetter).

The one activity I never saw on Oz: licking another imnates anus. Hope prison food isn’t as bad as they say!

Derivative of y = 4x^2 with respect to x is 8x, therefore the slope at (3, 36) is 24. Find the Y intercept: y = 24x + b, plug in (3, 24) and get 24 = 324 + b, b = 24 - 324; b = -48. So a line tangent to y = 4x^2 at x = 3 is y = 24x - 48.

**19. Can the President pardon a person for a federal crime that hasn’t been committed yet? **
No. Although a pardon may be granted before a conviction, it cannot be granted until the crime has actually been committed.
**48. What’s the name of that kind of hat that Sherlock wears, with the visor at the front and at the back, and earflaps tied up? **
Deerstalker.
Ah! But I leap into action because I am proud of my research on question #19…
19. Can the President pardon a person for a federal crime that hasn’t been committed yet?
Yes, according to Murphy v. Ford 390 F. Supp. 372 (U.S. District Court, W. District of Michigan, 1975). “The fact that Mr. Nixon had been neither indicted nor convicted of an offense against the United States does not affect the validity of the pardon. Ex parte Garland, 4 Wall. (71 U.S.) 333. In that case the Supreme Court considered the nature of the President’s Pardoning Power, and the effect of a Presidential pardon. Mr. Justice Field, speaking for the court, said that the Pardoning Power is ‘unlimited,’ except in cases of impeachment.”
