28 Nov 2017, Day 99

Question 1
Who choreographed the musical based on the first novel by the 2003 winner of the Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters? Answer: Debbie Allen.


First we need to find the book that won the medal. Look it up by using 2003 Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters, locating that it's Stephen King Carrie. Next, place in the search field Carrie musical choreography 1988 to find the IBDB listing of the cast and crew of this late 80's flop.

Question 2:
In Chapter 1 of Laura Jackson's biography of "Bono", what was the full name of the person who collapsed at his father's funeral and died four days later? Answer: Iris Hewson.


Now the search was supposed to happen was that you would go into Google Books and look up "Bono" Laura Jackson. Then you would just browse the chapter until you read the passage depicting Mrs. Hewson's death. But that is not to be, any preview or snippets of that chapter is under embargo. So the only way to solve it is by looking at the Wikipedia article on his biography.

Question 3:
What river is impassable by man in Arunachal Pradesh and joins the Ganga River in Bangladesh? Answer: Brahmaputra.


Please see Day 49 for the explanation.
