Three questions today (you will know why tomorrow :) )

1. Guest question from Rogi

Why are you seeing these on BB today? (See post date, not today’s date :) )

2. Guest question from p vs np. Yes, this question had to come from him :)

Identify 1. and his recent claim to fame.
Though his claim is under intense scrutiny, if proved, he shall join ranks with 2. and shall gain eternal fame in the Kingdom of Nerds.

3. “Fan” proposed icon for what?

One point per correct answer, run-length intact if you get at least one right.
