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 - “[She] cannot sing very well. She is flat a good deal of the time. And still cannot sing with anything approaching professional finish,” wrote music critic Paul Hume in 1950 about WHOM? Her father’s response, which included “Some day I hope to meet you. When that happens you'll need a new nose, a lot of beefsteak for black eyes, and perhaps a supporter below!”, led to a minor scandal.

Question #2 - “How Come, Chief Willoughby?” is the text displayed on one of the titular objects in WHAT film?

Question #3 - Brian Peerless called WHAT song, originally composed by W.C. Handy in 1914, the “jazzman’s Hamlet”? Ethel Waters was the first woman to publicly perform it, and a 1929 film, the only known film in which Bessie Smith appeared, features the song (and has the same name).

Question #4 - Khris Davis, Adam Dunn, Nathaniel Lowe, Kendrys Morales, and Brandon Moss are some folks who have, in a sense, littered in what is sometimes claimed to be the largest privately funded fountain in the world, in WHAT city?

Question #5 - The term “Gilded Age,” used to describe a period lasting approximately twenty years in the late nineteenth century in the United States, was borrowed by historians from the title of a novel co-authored by Charles Dudley Warner and WHAT prolific writer?

Question #6 - The 2008 video game Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots and a 2010 episode of the television show Hawaii Five-0 share WHAT specific distinction with the films MacArthur (1977), Under Siege (1992), and Battleship (2012)?

(As a hint: the distinction is NOT SHARED by films such as Battleship Potemkin (1925), Midway (1976), Winter’s Bone (2010), and Guardians of the Galaxy (2014).)
