After being completely stumped for the past four days, I finally came to my dad with the study sheet as a last resort. I figured hey, a testimony from a man who was in the prime of his youth during many of these events would be better than no help at all. Turns out this is exactly what I should have done fucking days ago, because I went from feeling completely hopeless to having a pretty good perspective on all but one of the questions, including the two most important ones by far.
Now, if anyone needs me, I'll be in the Bear Cave.
