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 - Stanley Kubrick, describing a 1971 film he directed, said the following: “[BLANK] makes no attempt to deceive himself or the audience as to his total corruption or wickedness. He is the very personification of evil. On the other hand, he has winning qualities: his total candour, his wit, his intelligence, and his energy…” WHAT first name fills in the blank, describing a character named by the American Film Institute as the twelfth-greatest villain in film history (but not your history)?

Question #2 - Seven coordinating conjunctions can be learned by memorizing the mnemonic acronym FANBOYS; for example, “S” stands for the word “so” (not “soo”). WHAT does “A” typically stand for in the acronym?

Question #3 - Take a word that means “the act of setting one free” that sometimes appears together with words such as “theology” and “sexual”—now, remove two letters, and you’ve got a word that means a ritualistic pouring of something (typically a liquid or grain) but that, especially in the bar/restaurant industry, has taken on a connotation of simply “an intoxicating drink.” WHAT two letters were removed?

Question #4 - Ah, geez, I got red quadrilaterals all over my chart! What I need to know is the ACTOR primarily associated with the character obscured by the green rectangle in the image below; he, the actor, has won three Saturn Awards and has been nominated for three Annie Awards. What’s his (last) name, man? [Image of chart in newsletter]

Question #5 - WHAT three-letter word, in addition to its more common definition, is a word used to describe British high society during the Regency era? The French helped out by providing the phrase (meaning “good manners” or “good form”) that the word originates from. One last hint: this three-letter word appears at the end of the names of at least three cities that make up the fifty most populous U.S. cities as of today.

Question #6 - Exactly one individual is missing from this list of individuals sharing a certain distinction. NAME the individual. George Washington, Henry Knox, Josiah Harmar, Arthur St. Clair, James Wilkinson, Henry Dearborn, Jacob Brown, Alexander Macomb, Winfield Scott, George McClellan, Henry Halleck, Ulysses Grant, William Tecumseh Sherman, Phillip Sheridan, John Schofield, Nelson Miles. *
