This is a quiz quilt in the manner of Robert Jen, but as you will
see when you solve it, not exactly. If you write down the correct
answers to these 7 questions in order along successive rows of a
grid, you will find the "quilt" answer reading upward or downward
along a column, or along the diagonal starting from the top or
bottom left corner, or along the last letters of the answers.
The four words at the end of the subject line are a hint at the
"quilt" answer.
Score is 1 point for each regular answer and 3 points for the
"quilt". Correct spelling is required for full points. If any
questions have alternative answers that don't fit the "quilt",
these will not be considered correct.
Please post all your answers in a single followup to this posting,
quoting the question before each one.
1. [Literature] This is a dramatic monologue that occurs in some
plays. What is the term for it?
2. [Sports] What current baseball team at one time shared a home
stadium with the New York Yankees for about 10 years?
3. [Science] What is the only chemical element named after a moon
in our solar system?
4. [History] The failure of Nazi Germany to conquer this city after
months of combat was a turning point of World War II. Its name
at that time is commemorated today by a station on the Metro in
Paris. What was the city called?
5. [Geography] What country's capital city is Juba?
6. [Miscellanous] What type of hat is so named because it shades
the wearer's head?
7. [Music] Who lived on Second Avenue, in a Barbra Streisand song?
8. [Quilt]
I will reveal the correct answers in about 5 days.

Several people who got most or all of the answers were distracted
