Question 2:
Which documentary screened at the 2004 Tribeca Film Festival, about the aftermath of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, quotes Thomas Merton's eponymous poem? Answer: Original Child Bomb.


I won't bore you with silly details of why, just try 2004 Tribeca Film Festival atomic bombing for quick answer.

Question 3:
What was cut into the fresco, "The Last Supper", resulting in the disappearance of Christ's feet in the image? Answer: doorway.


I had to look at the hint on this one after finding that there was a doorway cut into DaVinci's work, not a lumber slab from a hardware box store. Still you can find your way to the answer using this in the search field: fresco "the last supper" christ's feet.
