The Israelis are coming! The Israelis are coming!

A cuke if by land and two if by sea / and I on the Gilboan Mountain shall be. / Waiting to fight and spread the alarm / to every privatized kibbutz and farm.

I will in the future try to reiterate the "Two Truths and a Lie" rule for future posts. However, for the bonus, it clearly said "Pick three of the five," with the repurcussions clearly spelled out.

In accordance with the decree of Dec. 1, the following bonus points are awarded:
B.Bain-5
J. Tabak- minus two
M. Samuels- minus two
