Tim, I would have had it right away, but not knowing mulberries, I took if for cocao, which admittedly I know nothing about in its natural state as well.

Ron, I figured people would probably right-click on the photo for the tagged name. It's tough to obfuscate in the information age!

And what happened to Asia and Antarctica?

Or Africa?

Meantime, a hint: Look down.

But EIOU stands for Extended Unknown Input Observer.

E is the odd one one out--an UIO is an observer which estimates the exact state of a linear system with unknown input disturbance.

If you ask me to explain it, I'm fucked. Something to do with systems and algorithms.

E is for Earth
I is In between Heaven and Hell
O is Orb (maybe O is Over Hell)
U is Under Heaven

Status: offline 		I'll accept this answer as correct Lance

My sources tell me they are all comedies however I accept some may be open to dispute by academics and so are referred to as 'problem plays'.

Well done your turn.

And here we go with a unique quartet:

Helen Hayes
Rita Moreno
Audrey Hepburn
Whoopi Goldberg

Yes, you might find two more names that you think could be on this list, but there IS something that makes this a totally unique quartet.
