One quiz at a time

[Alex Bridgeman]

No, and your original non-guess is the closest anyone has yet got to the answer.

Fresh Fruit?

Spot on. I love this track almost as much as the A side. Your question.

Oh I see.... Oh what a shame. I so wanted to win...

Who was the Hollywood star that helped develop an anti-jamming system for torpedo guidance systems during WWII, although it was not finally deployed by the US military until much later? The star and co-developer applied for and received the patent during the war.

[Glenn E.]

I know the answer, but will refrain from guessing because I don't have a question ready.

Heddy Lamar.

(The next question if this proves to be the right answer; Find the connection between 'A Madeira Party' and an early piece of American feminist writing.)

Both were initially released in hardback and then immediately discounted by 50% for the Christmas market?

[TLW]

Heddy Lamar.

Indeed correct. Over to you.

[LGTrotter]

Heddy Lamar.

Indeed correct. Over to you.

I take no credit, Google did it all for me. Great question though, not the answer which would have leapt to mind.

[LGTrotter]

Heddy Lamar.

(The next question if this proves to be the right answer; Find the connection between 'A Madeira Party' and an early piece of American feminist writing.)

For clarification I would add that this is interpreted as a feminist text rather than the author would have called herself a feminist.

I think this may be the first "One quiz at a time" question that I have known the answer to without any research. I'm not entirely sure why I know it, but Hedy Lamarr's work developing frequency hopping is something that somehow stuck in my brain at some point during my schooling.

Who knew that an actor and a musician (she worked with composer George Antheil, whose name I can never remember and always have to look up) could develop critical technology like that?

Isn't it funny how different things stick in the minds of different people. I googled the question and when I read the answer I immediately thought of Blazing Saddles.

Perhaps something to do with Harvard?

[LGTrotter]

Perhaps something to do with Harvard?

My knowledge of American history is a little shaky but I am not aware of any Harvard connection.

(The next question if this proves to be the right answer; Find the connection between 'A Madeira Party' and an early piece of American feminist writing.)

For clarification I would add that this is interpreted as a feminist text rather than the author would have called herself a feminist.

Having looked into it she might well have described herself as a feminist, sorry about the bum steer.

The connection is a direct one. And involves insanity.

They were each written by either side of a schizophrenic?

I can't help thinking you are not taking this as seriously as you might.

[DRT]

I can't help thinking you are not taking this as seriously as you might.

I think you will find that my guess is entirely consistent with your clue. Was I correct?

[LGTrotter]

Alright

Both were initially released in hardback and then immediately discounted by 50% for the Christmas market?

No.

They were each written by either side of a schizophrenic?

No.
The title of the feminist work has a colour in it.

[djewesbury]

Is the colour one of:

Red
Yellow
Orange
Purple
Blue

or even
Pink?

Pink?

Oh Yeah. And to save time I can say it isn't the color purple. And that there are other fruits than orange.

[PhilW]

Philadelphia?
