I think it's question #4. My answer is Letter IV from "Letters from the Earth," October-November 1909.

He should enjoy the book immensely, especially the wonderful editing that was endlessly praised in a review in this Forum. But he got only three correct out of four. Which one did he miss? Can he figure it out? Clue: the improbable namesake of a President. And if anybody else jumps in gets his wrong answer right AND proves one of his other answers wrong, we'll have a tie. Oh, the drama... will I have to chop the book in half?
