He’s also the only one not known for stealing bases.
Besides what’s already been mentioned for #19:
Besides “rose”, each is named for the man (Zinn, Dahl, or Garden) who had something to do with discovering or cultivating it.
I’ve written a few questions like this for a radio show that takes listener submissions. I may have even posted them here, although long enough ago that I doubt anyone would remember the answers.
Do you mind if anyone else contributes questions?
Well, I know they aren’t; but the “crescent” wrench (or “adjustable” wrench, chrome with the little knurled adjustment screw in the head), the Phillips screwdriver, and the thickness gauge (for measuring the gap between points in the ignition systrem) generally are used in auto repair, not plumbing. The basin wrench is not.
Not at all. go ahead. 
If anyone remembers these from when I’ve posted them before, give everyone else a chance before you post the answers.

RA1:
b) Harpo Marx. All the others used their real names as their stage names.
RA2:
b) Phileas Fogg. All the others were real people.
No worries, I’m not really complaining (well, I guess I am). I love these puzzles. The Archie and Tool questions maybe had too many variables for me, and I have it on good information that Archie is not a natural redhead.
I’ll quit whining and try to come up with my own.
RA3:
[spoiler]Pope Pius XII
The other 3 all succeeded, and then were then succeeded by, the same person
Benjamin Harrison - Grover Cleveland
George Lazenby - Sean Connery
Conan O’Brien - Jay Leno
[/spoiler]
Neither of those is what I had in mind. There is something very specific that each group shares.
Correct. Excellent.[spoiler]When I first though of that question, the last choice was Hugh Downs. Still had to do with the Tonight Show, though. There was an incident in 1960 when Jack Parr quit as the host because one of his jokes was censored. His second banana, Downs, took over for a month, and then Parr came back.
But that made it a much harder question. Lots of people know about Parr walking off like that, but few know who took over in his absence. The latest reshuffling of hosts has played right into my hands.[/spoiler]

In group 1, they’re all “silent” actors of some sort. So you’re possibly looking for one who never spoke in a movie ever. In which case I’d say Marx, since Silent Bob usually spoke a bit at the end, Marcel Marceau was the only speaking role in Mel Brook’s “Silent Movie”, and Chaplin spoke in the Great Dictator.
For group 2, I don’t know. They all tried their journeys around the world, but whereas Fogg and Glenn made it, the other two died on the way. But Fogg was the only one to use multiple modes of transport.[/spoiler]
See, I’d pick Kevin Smith because:
The others were known for being silent for a majority of their appearances, while Silent Bob spoke in every movie.
RA2.
a) Ferdinand Magellan
b) Phileas Fogg
c) Amelia Earhart
d) John Glenn
Only one’s a woman???
OK, how about this, then…
RA2.
a) Ferdinand Magellan
b) Phileas Fogg
c) Amelia Earhart
d) John Glenn
[spoiler]Magellan
He went around the world in a boat, The other three got their fame from traveling by air, at least part of the time.
Although, apparently this applies only in the movie version of Around the World in 80 Days, according to Wikipedia. It’s been many, many years since I read the book myself
[/spoiler]
or even better yet, this occurred to me on preview
[spoiler]Earhart
The other three circumnavigated the globe. She didn’t quite make it
[/spoiler]
Eactly right on group 1.There are recordings of Harpo Marx’s voice, but from what I’ve been able to find, they are audio only, never on film. Or, in one case, the four are hiding in barrels singing in four-part harmony. No one seems to know if it’s Harpo singing, but even if it is, he can’t be seen at the time.
Still no one has the answer I’m thinking of for group 2. Maybe it’s not as good a question as I thought, but I’ll give you a hint.All four of them did, or tried to do, the same thing; but one of them went about it a different way.
How do you figure that? Archie’s mother Mary is usually shown with red hair.
Glenn did it in space.
No.
It doesn’t look like anyone is going to get it.Magellan is the odd one out. Fogg, Earhart, and Glenn all made their circumnavigation attempts by travelling to the east. Magellan went to the west.
I thought it was Fogg since he was the only fictional character
Or Earnhart since she was the the only one of the four to solo across the Atlantic
Or Glenn because he was the only one to do it without touching land or water during the trip.
