On #3, our deacon once said it was their deep back-woods hick Gallilean accents that gave them away. But of course we are in Arkansas, so that would be appealing to us!

Haha! Well it's quite possible their speech was a clue to where they were from. Peter's speech gave him away in Mark 14:70:

"And a little later those who stood by said to Peter again, 'Surely you are one of them; for you are a Galilean, and your speech shows it.'"

Care to take a shot at the rest of the questions? I'm betting you can find the answers. :-)

When my Dad served in the Pacific as a Marine during WW II, one of the men in his battery was from Arkansas. They called him Arky. Dad said Arky could neither read nor write, that he had little formal education. But with his back-woods smarts, Dad would trust his life with him.
