Beheaded
The explorer and adventurer Indian Jonah has, after months of searching in numerous jungles, found the lost royal crown of King Iriddlealittle! Naturally, the crown is resting on a high pedestal. There are 12 holes set at the base of the pedestal, and 12 engraved stones. Jonah knows from his painstaking archaeological research that the 12 stones must be placed in the holes in the correct order for the pedestal to lower the crown. Otherwise, it will smash it into the ceiling! Carved on the floor is the following conundrum:

The 12 gods and goddesses of Time, having been beheaded for treason, were laid to rest in order.

The stones are engraved with these odd names:
Andy, Archie, Ayme, Cthbert, Ectomorph, Ebert, Epstein, Ovac, Prince, Ugly-kid, Ulrich and Underhill.

In what order must Indian Jonah insert the stones?

Edit made: Names changed to protect the innocent.

Superhero STUD
The superhero known as the Super Tough Untouchable Dude (aka STUD) is at work again, saving humanity from itself. He lifts a 391 pound car into the air, just a second before it runs a red light, and causes an accident. He catches a thief, who has just robbed a convenience store of £136. Later, our hero leaps into the ocean, diving 51 feet down to save a drowning swimmer. When he emerges, he gives the beautiful woman mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, and 85 seconds later, she is coughing, but on her way to recovery.
What is the number of people who cheered STUD on as he saved the woman's life?
