Weird diacritical marks suggests the guy is like Czech or Bulgarian or something. Do I know any Eastern European opera composers? I wanted to go with Smetana, because it's Russian for "sour cream," but question 4 tipped me off that it's a J-name. Janek, because that sounds like something a Czech musician might be named.<br /><br />2. California politician who died bizarrely before I had any awareness of politics ... that's ... uh ... hard. Couldn't we go with a politician who died skiing into a tree? Okay, how about Janus Johnson.<br /><br />3. Sort of looks like Japan, but not quite enough, and I'm going to assume north up. Looks familiar and unfamiliar both at once. If I go with the "things I know nothing about but guessed to begin with S with no rationale" theme, then it's Sumatra. But as it's "J" I turn my computer sideways for a bit decide it is Japan.<br /><br />4. Jesuits. What, you mean all my S-guesses are wrong?<br /><br />5. Jihad. Darn it <i>is</i> J.<br /><br />6.

Jeez...I better get this one...Is this one of those European countries with a different local name, like how Croatia is Hrvatska? Or maybe a sub-national region...Maybe it's something like Jutland. Not many J's in Europe...my mental European atlas is coming up blank, so Jutland, it is.<br /><br />9. I don't know Art, and I think Jackson Pollack is dead (plus it's not drip-splatter, so I'll go with Jasper Johns. Yeah, that sounds like an artist.<br /><br />10. That sounds nice, and the Michael Furey sounds familiar. I haven't read much "Literature" since High School, though...What J authors are there? J.R.R. Tolkein I know...Lets be vague and go with Jones, again.<br /><br />11.
