Amazing questions. Too back I forgot until 11:15 and the Loat already had it in the bag. But that's what makes stumping the Loat so tough, he's so damn punctual. Thanks Hamid, that was great.

The name is really famous. He is known for being possibly the world's best athlete ever. And I'll give you the rules, since you did your homework. So it's Loat 5, Dan 3. A respectable showing from you two. Only question 4 remains. Okay, #4 is not Harry Agganis.
