Story from Mary Whitton:
I was the ANSWER for a question in the third SIGBowl.
These aren’t the exact wording of the clues, but it was something similar:
1) Who is the most recent SIGGRAPH organization chair who was an author or co-author of a paper in the technical papers program?
I remember sitting in the audience and thinking about organization chairs who followed me. From 1994-2002 it was Steve Cunningham then Judy Brown and according to the archive, neither of them ever had a paper in the technical papers program.
I was a co-author in 1996, 1999, 2002, and 2003. So this must have been a question in the 1998 SIGBOWL.
