March Madness titfight tournament semifinal (real one)

[RedEnforcer]

Ooooh, I love pop quizzes! I'm gonna get me a gold star!

Let's find out, shall we?

QUESTION 1 - What is the popular name for the evolutionary theory whose exposition is commonly attributed to Leigh Van Valen?

QUESTION 2 - Why is the theory called by that name?

QUESTION 3 - Gwenhwyfar is the Welsh name for what traditional English literary figure?

QUESTION 4 - Can you name another more modern literary figure with a name cognate to Gwenhwyfar?

QUESTION 5 - What is the connection between these two names?

1. I think that is the Red Queen hypothesis isn't it? Or are you asking for the theory that hypothesis explains? I can't remember that.
2. If it's Red Queen, it's because it posits the idea that there's a state of constant war between species kinda like how the Red Queen was always fighting. (That or LVV's look alike George RR Martin influenced that name with his Red Wedding )
3. That's Guinevere I do believe. (Wish my Welsh buddy Stephanie were here to phone a friend to.)
4. If I say no and that's true, does that count as a correct answer? ( ) I guess you're not talking about Mists of Avalon here. So...hmm I don't know.
5. If you mean LVV and Gwen, I don't know.

Hmmm...best I got is 3 of 5, not gold star worthy. I know I have one right.

Really Nancy? I thought you might vote for me now after I soundly defeated the girl you thought would beat me in round 1? Guess I just have to win again to make you see.

I'm pondering how lucky the paperboy feels outside that window.
