On Q7, we asked about Yanny and Laurel:
Q7. Letter and answer required. Our nation (and perhaps the world) was as divided as ever in 2018. Many a debate occurred on social media and around dinner tables, and people spent way too much time researching and trying to understand the views of the “other” side. In the end, we were still left with two groups – those that heard “Laurel,” and those that were wrong. Select a letter and name the person, people, or other entity with a name that either is, or sounds vaguely like, Yanny or Laurel.
Note: you must include the part of the name that makes it fit into this category (e.g. if “Laura Ingalls Wilder” were an answer, you’d have to give the full name, but I’d take “Loren” for “Sophia Loren.”)
- A conservative media host and former speechwriter in the Reagan administration, she currently hosts her nationally-syndicated namesake radio show and another namesake show on the Fox News Channel.

- A Greek keyboardist, pianist, composer, and producer known for his “Live at the Acropolis” concert.
- A controversial (to say the least) British alt-right speaker and former writer for Breitbart, known for his anti-feminist, Islamophobic, and anti-political-correctness views.
