Note: Some folks like to share their guesses for all of the questions, but in order to submit this form, only your initials (the first question) and a guess on the sixth question (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 - In geometry, WHAT word, derived from a Greek word meaning “not falling together,” describes a line that, in a sense, continually approaches a given curve but does not meet it at any finite distance? For example, in the below depiction of f(x) = 1/x, the answer to this question describes the x-axis and y-axis. [Image in newsletter]

Question #2 - NAME the band, inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2021, that was credited by VH1 as “the first all-female band who wrote their own songs and played their own instruments to reach Number One in the Billboard chart.” The group broke up in 1985 with each member pursuing a solo career, but has reconvened several times and has toured as recently as this year.

Question #3 - Excluding Washington, D.C., WHAT is the most populous city in the United States that shares its name with the last name of a U.S. president? (Note: The president's surname and the city's name must match entirely--so, if a president had been named John Denverton, for example, that would not match with “Denver.”)

Question #4 - WHAT television show, which debuted on NBC in 1995 and was canceled after one season, was called by The New York Times “[a] hybrid of Top Gun-style technology and A Few Good Men whodunitry”? The show was picked up by CBS, where it ran until 2005 and spawned another hit series that continues to air today (and that itself is responsible for several spinoffs).

Question #5 - NAME the sandwich periodically sold at McDonald’s that first debuted in McDonald’s restaurants around Kansas City in 1981. After being removed from the menu in 1985, it was brought back in 1994 as a tie-in with the film The Flintstones, due to the item’s ostensible connection with the opening credits of the same-named television show.

Question #6 - WHAT distinction, related to the theme of this newsletter, is shared by each of the following athletes (and many others)? Lance Armstrong, Joe Blanton, Kim Clijsters, Randall Cunningham, George Foreman, Rob Gronkowski, Gordie Howe, Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, Gabe Kapler, Mario Lemieux, Sugar Ray Leonard, Marshawn Lynch, Andy Pettitte, Dave Stieb, Georges St-Pierre, Rasheed Wallace, Reggie White. *
