National Doctors' Day, celebrated on March 30, is a day on which the service of physicians to the nation is recognized annually.

The idea came from Eudora Brown Almond, wife of Dr. Charles B. Almond, and the date chosen was the anniversary of the first use of general anesthesia in surgery.



We’ve selected some of our favorite doctors (not necessarily the kind you’d want to see with a medical issue), and while you won’t find them in this week’s questions, you’ll recognize them in the answers.

SPORTS & GAMES Q1. First Fellas: In a famous sketch by comedy duo Abbott and Costello, a baseball team has players on second base, third base, left field, and center field called “What”, “I Don’t Know”, “Why”, and “Because”... but who’s on first?



MISCELLANEOUS Q2. Borough Beverage: Made from whiskey, sweet vermouth, and bitters, what cocktail is named after a New York borough that also lent its name to a famous World War II project?

SOCIAL STUDIES Q9. Bible Books: Our apologies to Judith! But in the Hebrew Bible, there are only two books named after women. One is Esther and the second is what Moabite lady whose name would once again be popularized by “The Sultan of Swat” AKA “The King of Crash” AKA “The Colossus of Clout” AKA “The Great Bambino” a couple millennia later?



SCIENCE & TECH Q10. Lacking Letters: What letter was the last to be added to the English alphabet and is also the only letter never to have appeared in the name of an element or symbol on the periodic table?
