> * Game 6, Round 7 - Serial Killers
>
> Everyone loves a serial killer -- or at least everyone in the
> news or TV drama business. So now we're going to test how well
> you know your serial killers. The list below shows some of the
> best-known and most notorious serial killers. For each one we
> will give you their nickname and tell you the years they operated
> as well as the city that they operated in *or near*, and you give
> the real name from the list.
>
> In some cases the years we give are approximate, as it's not always
> certain exactly which murders the serial killer was responsible
> for. Also, in one or two cases the crimes turned out to have been
> committed by two men; then both names are on the list and you can
> give us either one.
