    Not the answer I was thinking of, but a good one nonetheless.
    I shall instruct the Recording Secretary to award you full marks,

    Once again, not what I had in mind. This time I don't understand
    how your answer connects to my clue, so I'll just leave the Recording
    Secretary undisturbed in his opium dreams.

    (I begin to see that concocting these questions involves more than inventing a witty clue; there is also the matter of ensuring that the
    clue admits of just one unique answer. To this matter, alas, I confess
    that I have given insufficient attention, and I apologize for a less
    than half-witty set of questions. Below, my intended answers.)
