Choosers CAN’T research IQs. DQ research is okay. Oh, incidentally askers CAN’T research IQs in an effort to find a diabolically hard question.

496

Okay, here’s a rules question: after a question is asked and answered, can you double-check the results with the web if the response sounds wrong to you?

In this case, I wasn’t sure about the character SCAdian referred to so I did check the web. The character in question’s name was Oliver Harmon “Spearchucker” Jones on the television show, which was the first hit I got. In the movie (per imdb) he was credited simply as Oliver “Spearchucker” Jones. Further research revealed that in the original novels his name was Oliver Wendell “Spearchucker” Jones.

Anyhow, it’s just a IQ so it’s not really a big deal, but I just want to learn how these things work.

497

Welcome to the game, Some. As noted earlier, only the Chooser/Host/Quizmaster may do any research at all, and only to ensure a correct answer to a DQ.

Previous IQs:

Did you play the designer of RMS Titanic? - Victor Garber, in the big James Cameron movie.
Did you work with Clarence and Roger? - Now I forget who I was thinking of - d’oh! But it’ll probably come to me…
Did Chekhov name a play after you? - Uncle Vanya

On to W.

IQs:

Does your tomb include the seals of two presidencies which you held in your lifetime?
Did you chair the U.S. Bicentennial Commission?
Did you burn most of your husband’s letters before you died, much to anguish of later historians?

498

Wally West it is! (Yeah, he was Flash after Jay and Barry. I think it’s back to Barry now.)
The second I actually thought would be the easiest, it was The Wizard of Oz.

1 DQ reserved for now.

IQ1: Are you a medical doctor for the US Army, with the first name of Charles?
IQ2: Are you a medical doctor in Victorian era England?
IQ3: Are you a Canadian superhero?

I’ve never seen any of the episodes with Spearchucker, but I did read the novel (finally!) a few weeks ago.
