FYI, we don’t reveal the answer outright. We just hint at it. However, it is okay to give possible wrong answers.
Alert: The first 8 words of our comments show up on the homepage sidebar, so prefacing any hint with a short observation is the best way to go.

Wow, it’s just been one easy clue after another this week with such surprising results that I also feel skittish about all in.
TWO right.
I’ll say 1/3 today. I could see someone going with the father.
Yup JP… I’m the idiot who went with the father! 1/3 correct answers.
Me, too, JJ, ugh
This seems like another easy one, but I’m going to avoid flying too close to the sun and say 2/3
