Guy, I asked your 2nd IQ.
Some very nice questions there, but to save time (I’m running late, and I need to dig my car out a bit before I can go to work) I’m only going to answer one of them - guylevesque’s first IQ:
Yes, I am architect Ieoh Ming Pei.
Incidentally, I did consider using Isildur, but figured he’d be a little too obvious in a game where one of the players is named Elendil’s Heir…
Congratulations, guylevesque!
