Rotating Quiz #11
Mark Brader
You have 5 days from the instant of posting to answer. This time
spelling counts -- misspell a correct answer and you only get a
half-point.
As in QFTCI, please place each answer on a separate line after
quoting the corresponding question.
1. What surname was shared by two US presidents and a star
player who retired from basketball in 1996?
2. What name is shared by another retired basketball star of
similar fame, the Green Lantern's secret identity (in some
versions), a river, and a country?
3. When TV viewers first heard of this alien species, they were
enemies of humanity, serving in some stories as an analogue
for the Communist bloc. In later years they were an ally
of humans, noble warriors with a strong sense of loyalty
despite some savage tendencies and customs -- and they looked
very different. What species was this? (Give the singular.)
4. This former Soviet republic is very familiar to fans of
geography quizzes at www.sporcle.com. Its capital is Bishkek,
and if "Wheel of Fortune" rules are used, then its 3-syllable
name contains only one vowel. Name the country.
5. What unit of measure is equal to roundly 950 ml or 1,150 ml
depending on which English-speaking country you live in?
6. What 14-letter adjective means "most perfectly typical" and
has an etymology referring to the "fifth element" supposed
to exist in addition to earth, fire, wind, and water?
7. What noble gas has atomic number 54 and shares the first
part of its name with a company formerly known as Blackwater?
8. What name, which might be said to fit the pattern of the
quiz in two places, was first made famous by two Persian
kings of the 5th century BC?
9. Mildred Didrikson achieved great success in various sports,
but died of cancer in her 40s. What was her married name?
10. This name of a Greek letter also forms a component of the
name of an Oscar-winning actress whose husband is a much
older Oscar-winner. What is it?

Time's up! And Jeff Turner wins. Hearty congratulations, Jeff!
And, of course, please start Rotating Quiz #12.

The real "pattern of the quiz" was, of course, that there were two
answers starting with each of the 5 rarest letters in English (or
the 5 highest-scoring letters in Scrabble). A further pattern was
that the 10 answers were in alphabetical order.
> 9. Mildred Didrikson achieved great success in various sports,
> but died of cancer in her 40s. What was her married name?
Zaharias. Her nickname was "Babe". 1 for Peter, Chris, and Jeff.

OK, they'll be up shortly.
