Friday's questions: 1. Seven U.S. states have split Senate delegations, meaning each senator from that state represents a different political party. Name as many of those states as you can. 2. In 1866, a Philadelphia man began selling ice cream on the street from a horse-drawn wagon. The company he founded is now one of the best-selling ice cream brands in the U.S. What was his last name? 3. What school mascot took its team name from a colorfully uniformed regiment of French WWI soldiers, with surprisingly little opposition from the university's Methodist leadership? 4. Director Ryan Coogler and actor Michael B. Jordan have made four films together: “Creed,” both “Black Panther” films, and a 2013 drama named for a stop on the Bay Area Rapid Transit line. Name that movie. 5. Today is June 28. Actor Pat Morita was born on this day in 1932. He’s arguably best known for playing a film character with an honorific in what ’80s and ’90s film franchise? 1. Vermont, Maine
