PROBLEM: Descartes proposed a thought experiment in which all one has of this is due to a demon, and Quine's argument that no statement can be truly analytic allows him to support a doctrine holding that certainty in this is impossible, called fallibilism. The Gettier problem questions the traditional formulation that a statement's truth and its belief implies that it is this, while another philosopher discussed how this can be derived either through statements about "relations of ideas" or through "matters of fact" in Hume's fork. For 10 points, identify this concept defined as the intersection of what is true and believed, the theory of which is called epistemology.

SOLUTION: Social Science

PROBLEM: An RNA polymerase from one of these organisms is commonly used in in vitro transcription experiments, and one well-studied example of these organisms uses the Q antiterminator to transcribe its structural components. Benzer's rII system uses these organisms for single-nucleotide mutation mapping, and the Phi-X-174 example of these organisms was the first to have its genome (*) sequenced. These organisms carry genetic information between cells in transduction. These organisms were labeled with 32P and 35S in the experiment that showed that DNA is the substance that stores genetic information, performed by Hersey and Chase. These organisms use their tail proteins as an injection mechanism. For 10 points, name these viruses that infect bacteria.

SOLUTION: Science

PROBLEM: In one of this authors poem, the speaker thinks he sees "the angel there that holds the crown" claiming to "know thy glittering face. " That poem's speaker believes he will perish "to-night, a quarter before twelve. " In another poem, the speaker imagines a man as "lean as death" who rode across a "wither'd heath" and stops at a hotel addressing a "Wrinkled ostler, thin and grim," "bitter barmaid, waning fast" and "slipshod waiter lank and sour. " That poem begins with a man getting off a winged horse and going inside a palace with the child of sin, while that first poem is written in the style of Robert Browning and describes a (*) saint that had stayed on a column for three years. Another poem of his describes a figure who "knows not what the curse may be / and so she weaveth steadily," and describes an "island in the river flowing down to Camelot. " For 10 points, name this author that included images of "long fields of barley and rye" in his "The Lady of Shallot. "
