28. The recurring theme in his books was built from his discovery that his twin sister died six weeks after birth.
Not a huge sci-fi fan but I am pretty sure this is PHILLIP K. DICK

Okay, here is a list of the names (aside from Albee and Serling) that were added between the consolidation where every name was right and the consolidation where two names were wrong:Pastor Fireball wrote:I'm sorry to tell you that you just removed two correct answers.

53. DENIS LEARY?
54. ABRAHAM LINCOLN?
81. PRESTON TUCKER
I have personally confirmed Leary, so Lincoln is the one with the question mark that is not correct. It was a wild-ass guess on my part and I should not have taken the question away.
Of the rest, I can confirm 6, 9, 17, 18, 39, and 48. It looks like 81 is the other incorrect answer.

Is the aphorism "Less is More"?
If so, this could be LUDWIG MIES VAN DER ROHE.
It fits alphabetically.

Re: New Fireball Game: First Act of Henry V
Okay, I looked at the names that were added between the two consolidations. The wrong one with the question mark was BYRON WHITE. I finally got impatient and looked up Supreme Court justices who fit alphabetically, and the correct answer is BUSHROD WASHINGTON. (That first name has to be significant.)Pastor Fireball wrote:In this consolidation, you did the right thing to get rid of Abe Lincoln and Preston Tucker; however, there are two new names that are wrong. One without a question mark and one with a question mark.
The other wrong one is this one. I misread the question. (Oddly enough Wallis -- who fits alphabetically -- did receive the Thalberg award two years before Sam Goldwyn, and the Cecil B. DeMille award two years after Goldwyn, but that doesn't fit the parameters of the question.
83. This film producer received an honorary Academy Award two years after another film producer received an honorary Academy Award, which occurred the year before that second film producer received an honorary Golden Globe, which occurred two years after the answer to this clue received his honorary Golden Globe. Got that?

75. is KENNY "The Jet" SMITH
70. stumps me. I thought it must have some connection to Mr. Bill, but I can find none.
65. is TIM (aka T.J.) OSHIE
61. might be RICHARD MULLIGAN.
52. is SAMUEL KOTZ
41. is E. GARY GYGAX, although the E. is usually dropped, if that winds up making a difference.

Re: New Fireball Game: First Act of Henry V
Semi-cheated on these:
10. Just one year after he attempted to persuade the British Parliament to end the slave trade, he became pro-slavery. In his poem subtitled The Universal Empire of Love, he suggested that slaves loved being slaves. (Boy, did he get it wrong!)
JAMES BOSWELL
26. Although he was never a candidate for the vice presidency, he still received ten votes in the last vice presidential vote of a Democratic convention that had to be conducted via roll call.

Re: New Fireball Game: First Act of Henry V
Doing some research here, because I don't think anyone's getting the remaining ones out of their brains.
ANNE-MARIE DUFF29. Among the notable roles of this British actress: a mother of a Beatle, a daughter of a Stuart king, and a daughter of a Tudor king.
Having some trouble with this one. It seems to be a conflation of two separate puzzle contests, one linked to PAUL HOFFMAN and one to WARREN HOLLAND, both of whom fit in the same alphabetical slot. Everything in the puzzle fits Hoffman, but the dollar amount of the reward for his contest was $500,000 plus a golden horse. The $100,000 fits Holland, but there doesn't seem to be an on-screen component to that one.47. He hosted an innovative puzzle contest in 1984 where the first person who could solve the on-screen detective's mystery and call the telephone number hidden in a safe deposit box somewhere in the United States won $100,000.
RANDY SAVAGE70. I knew this entertainer and his manager (who was also his first wife) personally. They lived in the same apartment complex in Lexington, KY, where my mother and I lived. I was sad when the wife died in 2003 and when he died in 2011. Oooh no!

You're in the ballpark, but I can assure you that the correct answer to this question is way more famous than either Hoffman or Holland. Once you solve this mystery, there will be only one clue that has yet to be guessed and you can start looking to solve the missing links in the Tangredi.franktangredi wrote:Having some trouble with this one.

Re: New Fireball Game: First Act of Henry V
Hmmm. By my count, there are three unsolved clues besides this one. I wonder if that means that one of the unsolved clues is the one that has a direct relationship to the Tangredi.Pastor Fireball wrote:You're in the ballpark, but I can assure you that the correct answer to this question is way more famous than either Hoffman or Holland.

Here's what's left unsolved:
5. It's probably a good idea not to perform this entertainer's "salute" during a church sermon.
30. This athlete's modest and academic demeanor has long been the subject of articles on The Onion, which had him doing everything from fielding questions about the 2013 federal government sequester to encouraging his teammates to build up their frequent flyer miles.
38. Was his first job disco? Very!
[some thing to do with 'discovery' here]
47. He hosted an innovative puzzle contest in 1984 where the first person who could solve the on-screen detective's mystery and call the telephone number hidden in a safe deposit box somewhere in the United States won $100,000.
