9:31: Q2 (Everything Else): What American serial killer, known as the “Killer Clown”, murdered at least 33 young men and boys in the 1970s, and actually performed as the characters Pogo the Clown and Patches the Clown at charitable events, when he wasn’t busy doing murders?
17:07: Q3 (Arts & Literature): What early form of professional theater, which originated in Italy, is known for incorporating pantomime, and for numerous clown stock characters, including Harlequin, Pierrot, and Scaramouche?
