2. What word, sometimes explained by journalists as meaning "war of stones," is actually the Arabic for "shaking off"? WAG - Fatwa?

3. By what crimefighting name do comic book fans better know Kara Zor-El, a.k.a. Linda Lee? Supergirl

4. In 1921, a Utrecht phytopathologist named Bea Schwarz isolated what disease, which has since claimed over 200 million victims in the U.S. alone? Dutch Elm disease?

5. What U.S. state has the shortest coastline, a 13-mile stretch where you'd find the historic seaport of Portsmouth? New Hampshire?
