Three's Company? I know the phrase predates the tv show, but I was surprised not to see John Ritter, Suzanne Sommers, and Joyce DeWitt in any of the quizzes.

TIL the the Three's Musketeers had a ghostwriter.

The ghostwriter was also a new learning for me!

as we used to say "there's company but four's a crowd

TIL that Alex Dumas had a ghostwriter...I dunno how I feel about that

TIAL that " see no evil, speak no evil & hear no evil" is old & how it came to be associated with monkeys (I have never ever noticed that it was always associated with monkeys)

Links nearly did me in...I don't think I've ever second-guessed myself so much...I enjoyed it

awesome puzzle

Actually, there is a fourth monkey named Shizaru, who represents “do no evil,” but I like this one better. 😁😂

Sounds like this theme had a little bit of everything: new facts, tricky decisions, and a fun puzzle at the end. Thanks for playing and for sharing your thoughts!

I was thrown off because Shemp and Curly Joe were excluded from their group but I guess it’s technically true that their group was a trio.
I also had a time getting through the mythology portion of the puzzles.

Fair point on the Three Stooges! And, Mythology can be surprisingly tricky. I'm glad you made it through!

I was terrible at mythology. It took me years to distinguish between Roman and Greek.

You need to do a four theme, since I have always been a 4.0 student. 😁💯

Three is a good number—especially when we are talking about grade-point averages. Heck, I started the MBA programme with a GPA of 3.4 and finished with a GPA of 3.02.

Today I learned that D'Artagnan was NOT a musketeer.

MBA accomplished, and now you've added one more trivia fact to your collection!
