Same rules as before. I’ll leave it up for a week, unless I get 25 players before that (unlikely).

Completely unique answers worth 10 points  
Answers given by two people worth 4 points  
Answers given by three people worth 1 point

No other answers worth anything  
Incorrect answers are not worth anything  
Spelling counts  
Name something in each of the nine categories. Try to give a unique answer. Do not look at the other answers before answering. No Googling. You are on your honor.

1. Name an American kidnap victim who was returned alive. They do not need to be alive now.
2. Name a US president who died in office.
3. Name a capital of an Asian country.
4. Name an African country, and any language widely spoken there by people native to the area, OTHER THAN ENGLISH.
5. Name an actor or actress who won the best actor or actress Oscar, who was not born in the US.
6. Name a female associate of Charles Manson.
7. Name a film by Akira Kurosawa.
8. Name a Jewish holiday or festival.
9. Name an English translation of the bible that preceded the King James bible.  
Good luck!
