    Ah, didn't know that about Nixon! I see he was 40 and TR was 43 when they became VP.

    Rick Sanchez of Rick and Morty is an answer that fits that question, so I don't think you earned a DQ for that one. Remember you're free to rephrase an IQ up to the three times.

    Not Rowan Atkinson, Robin Givens or Randy Newman.

    Who is Rick Sanchez? And was I right about Feynman? I had heard that somewhere, but can't think where.

    Yes, I still remember Tyson and Givens's very awkward interview, sitting on the couch together, in which she said he hit her now and then.

    Not Rick Allen, Rupert Murdoch or Roger Ailes.
