    I’m also going with TWO right.

  2. JJ says:

    I didn’t get this, but I should have… 2/3 correct answers.

  3. JP says:

    I was completely stumped on this one. Very obvious in retrospect, however. I’ll say 1/3.

  4. jk says:

    This should be an easy get. A notorious figure post WWI with a nickname referencing a wound? Like, maybe a scar on his face? 3/3

  5. Travis says:

    That’s a hard one to think of in the short amount of time.. I will predict 1.
