(Only 2 people in the original quiz got it right!) 7 is correct. 8 is Silvia Moreno-Garcia. 9 and 10 are correct and 11 is indeed The New York Times, or technically the NYT Book Review. 12 through 5 are correct, and so are 17 and 18. I knew I could never use John Faucette, who is the right answer to 16, because only me and about three other people remember him.Rich Hortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07659613066689174738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-257559067333970126.post-91229642012997217732022-02-25T13:15:21.121-08:002022-02-25T13:15:21.121-08:00Not having looked at the answers, here are my gues...Not having looked at the answers, here are my guesses: 1.

Clippng (extremely self-indulgent followup trivia question, which two Jewish Brown University alumni have each been nominated for exactly three Hugos? :-D ), 11. The New York Times.

Octavia Butler OF COURSE, 16. jeez, I have no idea, 17. Aliette de Bodard, 18. Uh...
