Question
itachi-san
All of the following riddles have 1 and only 1 answer because they all relate to the same theme. What are the answers to each riddle and what is the theme?
1) 14 still sit in test tubes
Out of 26 in all
All 12 were successful
I was the first to crawl
2) A tombstone marks the spot
For the showdown at this corral
Unrelated, though link it to
The space madness-ridden HAL
3) Though not a motto they had used
The Merry Men would not refuse
To shout this slogan at Robin Hood
With implied respect to be understood
4) One who has lost their past
Like Memento's leading part
Could try to unveil history
Or settle for a new start
