> [@fanganga](#): > > What are the rules on looking stuff up? I may have to withdraw some of my questions. Officially, it’s forbidden. Personally, and the way I play, research is not allowed to solve the puzzle or answer an IQ. It can be allowed to ensure a correct response to a DQ. Once in a while, when I’m “it”, I’ll get a DQ I don’t know the answer to, and I’ll look it up to ensure I give the correct answer. For example, one time I knew my person was born in the midwestern USA, but I got a DQ of “Born east of the Mississippi?”. I had to look up the exact birth location to be sure of my response. ETA: What he said. ---

My specific question is that I did a bit of research in posing my two IQs - one to make it more specific, and the other to a: double check it was the guy I was thinking of and b: make the IQ less google-solvable. If that’s against the rules, I’ll withdraw them and submit replacements. ---

> [@Prof.Pepperwinkle](#): > > I’ll tell you what they told me when I did: it’s okay for now, but don’t do it again. 🙂 I concur, now that you know better. IQs: Are you Earl Hickey’s slow-witted younger brother? Are you one of the villains of the Balkans wars of the 1990s? Did you, in playing a Dickens character, land on the cover of _Time_ magazine? ---
