Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which singer's real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta?

Answer: Lady Gaga

 Lady Gaga is an American singer, songwriter and actress who is known for her unconventionality, highly provocative work and visual experimentation.

The other singers' names are as follows:

Madonna (Madonna Louise Ciccone).
Pink (Alecia Beth Moore).
Cher (Cherilyn Sarkisian).
2. What kind of person shall not be honoured on a US postal stamp, according to the US Postal Service and the Citizen's Stamp Advisory Committee?

Answer: a living person will not be considered

 Following a number of corrections, I have double checked the answer to this question and can confirm that it is indeed correct.

On checking the US Postal Service website (https://about.usps.com/who-we-are/csac/criteria.htm) they state the following under point 4:

"Living people will not be considered at the present time. Beginning in 2018, proposals for a deceased individual will be considered three years following his/her death."

This is confirmed via a number of additional sources including the the online magazine 'Linn's Stamp News' (https://www.linns.com/news/us-stamps-postal-history/2018/january/revised-criteria-for-honoring-individuals-us-stamps-effect-in-2018.html).

Note that Wikipedia is out of date and innaccurate on this matter and needs amending.
3. According to Greek mythology who was the first woman on earth?

 In Greek mythology, Pandora was the first human woman, created by Hephaestus on the instructions of Zeus. Athena is a Greek Goddess. Eve was the first woman according to the Bible and Embla was the first woman according to Norse mythology.
