Question 1
In a 2005 ceremony inducting Dan Marino to the Football Hall of Fame, who was the recipient of Dan's “one last pass” thrown from the podium? Answer: Mark Clayton.

Please see Day 53 for the explanation.

Question 2:
What American museum paid $6.9 million to exhibit artwork on loan from the Louvre from 2006-2009? Answer: High Museum of Art.

In this question required a little bit more digging on my part to come up with a optimal search query. Input in the search field $6.9 million artwork American museum, you'll see a New York Times article about this once-in-a-lifetime loan. Too bad I was in the middle of art school to enjoy it.

Question 3:
What name did the stylist, who employed Brad Goreski until October 2010, choose for her first child? Answer: Skyler.

Please see Day 84 for the explanation.

Question 1:
What "character" did Plato use in his writing to convey his own views? Answer: Socrates.

This is an answer I already knew, it helps to be somewhat familiar with Plato and his student Aristotle. Typing in the search field Plato characters gets a page of his many characters and the most famous of those is of Plato’s teacher. You could brute force your way to the answer, but going down the page you would see his name pop up time again in various work (ie, Republic, Symposium, etc.)

Question 2:
In the teachings of Lao Tzu, what is seen as the creative force in the universe through which all things are connected? Answer: The Tao.

Typing lao tzu unifying force gives you a page about the Tao Te Ching. Tao translates from Chinese to “the Way”. If you type Tao (which is the correct answer) into A Google A Day you will receive an error. Only with westernizing Tao with the article “the” does A Google A Day consider it correct.

Question 3:
What name did the stylist, who employed Brad Goreski until October 2010, choose for her first child? Answer: Skyler.

Look up “Brad Goreski” and you will find his website, which contains his bio. When you look up his biography you will see the name of one of his employers in the fashion world. Using “Rachel Zoe" oldest child you would see the answer.
