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 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 doing so is not necessary.) *

Question #1 - Probably the best known single work of art from the “Regionalism” school of art is American Gothic by Grant Wood. In WHAT state—which became a territory in 1838, a state in 1846, and moved its capital westward in 1857—was it painted?

Question #2 - The Pioneers is the first in a series (by publication date); The Deerslayer is the fifth. WHAT work is the second? It was released as a film more than 160 years after it was published as a novel.

Question #3 - At a critical moment in the French Revolution, representatives of the Third Estate gathered and swore an oath “not to separate and to reassemble wherever necessary until the Constitution of the kingdom is established.” It is known in French as the serment du Jeu de paume; today, top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka could perhaps tell you how the oath's location is designated in English. Give that name.

Question #4 - According to Robert Altman, while directing one of his films he asked composer Johnny Mandel for the “stupidest song ever written.” Altman asked his 15-year-old son to write the lyrics, which he did in five minutes. The song, used for the film’s title sequence, went to #1 in the U.K. and had a long afterlife on television in instrumental form. Altman reportedly made $70,000 as the movie's director, while his son has made more than a million dollars for the song lyrics. Name the relevant FILM.

Question #5 - The Australian TV show Bluey—featuring mum, dad, Bingo and Bluey—primarily streams on WHAT subscription service in the United States? The service was established in 2019.

Question #6 - Each of this newsletter’s answers has a connection to a particular word. Specifically, each answer contains one (or more, perhaps many more) of that word. WHAT type of animal contains two of that word?
