IQ: Was she killed softly by his song?
IQ: Were you inducted into the women’s Basketball HOF?
IQ: Did you have a relationship with the singer blamed for Columbine?
I’m not:
Roberta Flack
Rebecca Lobo
Rose Mcgowan
1: I was thinking of ** Regan ** from King Lear
2: I was thinking of Greg Rusedski, who while not reaching World number 1 as Ken Rosewall did, represented the United Kingdom and was a British number 1.
3: I was thinking of Srinivasa Ramanujan, who on being told that his friend had ridden in a taxi with number 1729, remarked that 1729 was the smallest number that could be formed in two different ways by adding two cubes.
I’m not claiming a DQ for number 2, as without wikipedia-ing Rusedski, the question would have been broad enough to cover Rosewall.

IQ1 - I was thinking of Raquel Welch, a poster of whom was used to cover Andy Dufrense’s escape tunnel in The Shawshank Redemption
IQ2 - Was Rhianna
IQ3 - I was thinking of Rosalind Franklin, who discovered the structure of DNA using X-ray crystallography. I had thought that she had used DNA extracted from kiwi fruit, but I might be wrong about that - I can’t find anything saying she did, only that kiwi fruit is the easiest living thing from which to extract DNA to recreate her experiment.
I’ve got at least two DQ’s - maybe three, depending on whether the Franklin question is deemed invalid or not.
DQ2 - Were you born before 1980?
DQ3 - Are you known for your involvement in politics or activism?
