Spoiler

I would have guessed Pharrell because every time I read anything about him, they mention that he is in his 40's. That makes him a perfect subject for a question like this

I have a problem; I have no idea who Pharrell Williams is. Start with ATA, then 50/50.

SportsFan, the rock you are living under is a *good* rock.


Its like a room without a roof. You are to be Happy you are in it.


These 2 last are Pharrell jokes.

Dunno how many lifelines I'd have left, but I'd be using them here.

I have to think long about how old I was when each older member of pair died, & if I think younger member was alive then.

I know Pharrell is prolific producer as well as recent star in his own right, but he doesn't look 40 to me.

I was in 5th grade when Kennedy was shot. Thought Rowling might have been infant then.


Use at least 50/50 here. If Kennedy/Rowling left, might have gone out on it.

Why did the question have to specify ONLY in capital letters? Obviously there can't be more than one right answer.

Why did the question have to specify ONLY in capital letters? Obviously there can't be more than one right answer.

I've noticed that trend in the past year or so while transcribing shows, also capitalizing "which is NOT," or "ALL BUT which of these." I guess that they want to help contestants after some have misread questions up there.
