  2. I usually get one or two, but this is the first time I’ve gotten them all… good thing I did that report on William McKinnley a couple years ago.

  3. As a card carrying Northeast Ohioan, I have been to the McKinley monument on many occasions in Canton (along with the First Ladies Historical museum, at one time the McKinley home) and knew this answer.

  4. I so miss the scoring on these. This is one of those rare days that I got all 5, and I don’t have that happy, reassuring 100% to brighten my day :(

  5. Debi, you’ll be happy to know that the quiz will return to its normal spot on the site, along with scoring, very soon. A problem in the coding meant we had to take it down. Last week was a busy week (with most of us toiling to finish our 5th anniversary issue) but we’re working on the problem right now, and hope to have a solution very soon.

    In the meantime, here’s a virtual high-five from Kara and me. Nice job!

  6. Nice how you started with the single letter N and increased 1 letter at a time to end up with Niles. (my 12 year old daughter caugh that)
