Note: Some folks like to share their guesses for all six questions, but in order to submit this form, only your initials (the first question) and a guess on Question #6 (the last question) are necessary.

For purposes of the Question #6 Leaderboard, please write below a THREE-LETTER initialism you'd like me to use to track your entries. (You might choose your initials, but this is not necessary.) *

Question #1 - Dolce, the Italian word for “sweet,” is a term used in music instructing one to have the piece’s sound eradiate in a tender and adoring manner. WHAT person, twice ranked by Forbes as the most powerful woman in the world, was named after a longer version of the same direction that translates to “with sweetness”?

Question #2 - WHAT two-word alliterative phrase describes each of the following? (i) a song released by the Bee Gees in 1967; (ii) the name of the seventh Bee Gees album, released in 1970, the only one released without any vocal contributions from Robin Gibb, and (iii) a made-for-TV British comedy film starring the Bee Gees, also released in 1970, with appearances by Vincent Price, Eric Clapton, Roger Daltrey, and Mick Jagger? What, it’s not sporting to make all three clues based on the Bee Gees’ early work? Okay, it’s also something that would put portcullis protectors in a pickle.

Question #3 - In the 2016 film Moana, the character Tamatoa, voiced by Jermaine Clement, sings to Moana and her crewmate Maui that “you can’t expect a demigod to beat a decapod—look it up!” WHAT kind of animal is Tamatoa in the film?

Question #4 - In a famous folk tale, the character Cassim stands in front of large rocks and shouts the word “barley,” to no effect. One translation of the tale says he then “named several different sorts of grain, all but the right one, and the door still stuck fast.” WHAT was the “right one” that Cassim failed to name? Had he done so, he would have been reunited with his brother.

Question #5 - A “mole” is the SI base unit of amount of substance; there are 602,252,000,000,000,000,000,000 molecules contained in one mole of any substance. That’s a pretty long number to write out, so instead the number is often called WHOSE number, after a scientist noted for his revolutionary contributions to molecular theory?

Question #6 - WHAT U.S. state is missing from the below galaxy of places, which is otherwise a complete list? [Please refer to newsletter for list] *
