Calling all word detectives: Jim Braun of Redmond, Wash., asks, “What is the word that describes a person who habitually counts repetitive actions or occurrences, such as the number of slices when slicing bananas or the number of cars on a freight train?” We don’t know, but if you do, please let us know.

Coincidence? Completely! The 1939 Nathanael West novel “The Day of the Locust” was adapted into a 1975 film starring Donald Sutherland, Karen Black and Burgess Meredith. The name of Sutherland’s character in the film, the same as a well-known character from a TV series, is:

A) Homer Simpson

B) J.R. Ewing

C) Cosmo Kramer

D) Tony Soprano

Tuesday’s answer: Sir Arthur Sullivan and Jane Fonda share the same middle name: Seymour, which was the maiden name of Fonda’s mother.
