The la farge question bothers me - he was an artist. Don't really associate him with invention, but it makes me think it is LC Tiffany that is the rival.

[silverscreenselect]

46) He is the only person to have won the Hugo Award both as a writer and as an editor.
FREDERIK POHL

I don't think Pohl ever won an editing Hugo. I'm pretty sure the correct answer is KRISTINE KATHRYN RUSCH. I'm virtually certain of her editing Hugo during her tenure at F&SF, and I'm pretty sure that she picked up a writing Hugo a few years back. --Bob

Now I've checked. We're both right -- it's a bad question. The gender reference makes it clear that S-cubed has Pohl in mind, but Rusch also has both a writing and an editing Hugo. --Bob

You both are correct. Pohl is the answer I was looking for. The only thing I can think of is that Pohl won a Hugo for an SF novel, while Rusch's was for a novella, and either the original source or I might have misunderstood the distinction.

[Weyoun]

JERRY LEE LEWIS

[tanstaafl2]

16) After his army suffered a disastrous loss, the troops of this Confederate general “saluted” his gallantry in a song sung to the tune of “Yellow Rose of Texas.”
JOHN BELL HOOD, I think

Not sure how I overlooked this one but definitely Hood after his disasterous Tennessee campaign in the fall of 1864.

In fact it was the promotion of Hood to command of the Army of Tennessee that may have been one of the biggest factors in the reelection of Lincoln and the ultimate defeat of the Confederacy.

Is it consolidation time yet?

[franktangredi]

Is it consolidation time yet?

definitely. I'd do it myself, but I'm snowed under.

[smilergrogan]

No idea here on the Tangredi. We have three musical groups, one pair of brothers, and one Greek god, so it's probably some attribute of those other than simply a first or last name which is important. Usually, SSS's puzzles have involved a group of things that form a set, like all the James Bond films or all the NFL team names or all the items in the 12 Days of Christmas.


Below you will find 95 clues to famous people. First, you must identify the people from the clues, then you must combine them to form 46 pairs and one triple, based on a Tangredi, or principle which you must determine for yourself. Some of the pairings work somewhat differently from the others, although the general principle is the same. If you know me and the way I like to approach puzzles, you may have an advantage in figuring this one out.

COTTON MATHER?

[silverscreenselect]

Four of your definite answers are wrong. One of them is a trick question; one of them is straightforward, but the real answer is considerably more obscure than the person who was guessed. Two of them are just wrong; the person guessed almost but doesn't quite fit the clue. As usual with question marks, some are right and some are wrong.

This puzzle does borrow some elements from some of my other puzzles. There is one clue in particular, which, if you think about it a while, may reveal the Tangredi.

[NellyLunatic1980]

#75 is referring to "I Love Rock and Roll" by JOAN JETT.

[NellyLunatic1980]

#90 was William F. Buckley's old rival at the "National Review", JAMES MURRAY KEMPTON.

[NellyLunatic1980]

The only person I can find who fits all of the clues in #13 is KENNETH KAUNDA of Zambia.

[franktangredi]

9) This actress’ performance in a cult horror film served as the inspiration for Drew Barrymore’s character in Scream.
JANET LEIGH? JAMIE LEE CURTIS?

I'm not sure Halloween can be accurately described as a cult horror film, and Psycho certainly can't.

How about CAROL KANE? When a Stranger Calls centered around terrorizing somebody via telephone, and I think it qualifies as a cult horror film.

How about CAROL KANE? When a Stranger Calls centered around terrorizing somebody via telephone, and I think it qualifies as a cult horror film.

Here was my rationale for saying Janet Leigh. Like Leigh, before the movie opened, Barrymore was thught to be the star of Scream. Then, she was killed in the opening scene. In both cases, the director killed off the "star" of the movie, stunning the audience.
