  1. 2. The name of your future cat.
  2. 3. In this Brave New World, we find solace in Lincoln’s word of September’s chapter.
  3. 4. What does Robert Reich aspire to save?
  4. 7. Squares minus circles.
  5. 8. Your map of Ponza showcases eight “Cala”s (coves). Which comes first alphabetically?
  6. 9. How many whiskers currently reside in your kitchen cabinet?

  1. 1. Your personality contains infinite facets, but your welcoming spirit is black and white. How would you quantify the black? (last two digits only)
  2. 3. Beams carved from rich timbres of woodwind and brass form a melodious inn, built not to seduce the eye, but the ear. Nicholas, Valentine, Augustine—all have stayed within these walls of vibrato. The moving melodies must affect them as they do me, for I would establish permanent residence if only this institution were as habitable as its name suggests. Alas, in that which I listen, the holy may live.
  3. 5. Above your couch, an unassuming frame holds memories mixed: the delighted discovery of a smile-inducing print amid a pile of thrift-store Knick knacks, and, months later, the infuriatingly-impossible process of trying to straighten out the crooked drawing without destroying both the frame and my sanity (lol). This print depicts two giant bunnies assisting a performer on stage. What shape decorates their uniforms?
  4. 6. Above your bed hangs a beautiful gift from your grandparents. What color do the men within wear?
