    Well given my record of actually knowing any of the IQ answers, let alone guessing any of these IQs, is rapidly approaching zero, its almost easier to give 20 DQs and let you ask them instead.

    Also take another four IQs for the above.

    Hey, I actually know how a couple of them.

    The more amusing thing is that - yes I am Steven Tyler - lead singer of Aerosmith who have never had a number one hit in the UK
