Question #1 - St Edward’s Crown, the centerpiece of the Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom, was used on June 1, 1533 to crown WHOM? The use of the crown for a queen consort was unprecedented at the time; the king had sought to further legitimize the coronation of his second wife.

Question #2 - NAME the athlete who, together with Misty May-Treanor, won a gold medal in beach volleyball for the United States at the 2012 Olympics; it was the record third consecutive Olympiad at which the two had won a gold medal playing beach volleyball together.

Question #3 - According to the website Odds Shark, “Don’t Stop the Music” was the favorite among bettors for the first song to be performed at the Super Bowl LVII halftime show by WHAT artist, with odds of +110? Those who took the underdog “Better Have My Money” (+1000 odds) might have been singing those very words when it was performed first.
