When this group visited a museum in the Netherlands, they learned that the plant duskwort can cure narcolepsy. The Ten Men, so named for the number (15[1])of ways they can hurt others, repeatedly threatened (15[1])this group. One person passed a test for admission into this group (15[1])by offering (15[1])half of his pencil to another test-taker, (15[1])who dropped theirs down a grate. This (-5[1])group was recruited to infiltrate an institute where children were trained to become Messengers and broadcast (*) subliminal messages through the Whisperer. Because the spy Milligan was brainswept by Mr. Curtain, he forgot that he was the father of this group’s oldest member. Two-year-old Constance Contraire proposed the final name of this group after several rejected proposals by George “Sticky” Washington. For 10 points, Reynie Muldoon leads what “society” of four gifted children? ■END■
