1) In 1940, Cal’s basketball coach called a UCLA athlete “the best basketball player in the United States.”  That same year, Stanford’s football coach called the same UCLA athlete “the most dangerous man that I have ever seen in football.”  Today, that same athlete is best known for his Hall of Fame career and legacy in yet another sport – baseball.  Who is that athlete?

2) “We hold these truths to be self-evident: That all are created equal. That they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights. Amongst those rights being the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of pickleball.”  We regret to report that these words were recently spoken on Bainbridge Island by Gov. Jay Inslee, as he signed a bill making pickleball the official sport of what state?

3) What science fiction franchise, perhaps best known today as a series of novels (“a trilogy in five parts”) that follow the adventures of Arthur Dent, was originally a radio comedy broadcast on BBC Radio 4?

4) What man was the first former U.S. president to win a Grammy Award, which he won in 2004 in the Best Spoken Word Album For Children category?  He would later win a second Grammy (for Best Spoken Word Album) for the audiobook edition of his autobiography, “My Life.”

5) The Gutenberg Bible is sometimes called the __-line Bible, after the number of lines of text that appear on each page.  What number fills in the blank?  The same number is associated, in varying ways, with the answers to Questions 1-4.

By checking the button below I promise that I have not looked up any answers to the previous questions. Also, I promise that, if I chose to collaborate with a team, that team is "small" by my own personal definition and also that this is my team's only submission this week. *
