Question #1: [In 1903 when Milton S. Hershey founded his central Pennsylvania chocolate manufacturing plant in Hershey], it's first two streets, Cocoa Avenue and Chocolate Avenue, formed a crossroads -- with the latter currently being known for its street lamps shaped like wrapped and unwrapped Hershey's Kisses -- True or False?
        A. True, or
        B. False

The two dirt roads that intersected just south of the factory site would be the center of his town and would be named Chocolate and Cocoa Avenues.

Question #2: As part of several deception strategies to confuse the Germans where and when the [1944] D-Day operation was to happen, early on D-Day, dummies dressed in paratrooper uniforms were dropped in Normandy away from the actual landing sites. What were these D-Day dummies called?
        A. Waldos, or
        B. Adolphs, or
        C. Ruperts

    Code names and information blackouts were just the start of the secrecy that cloaked the D-Day operation. The Allied forces fabricated ‘Operation Fortitude’, a deception strategy employed to try and confuse German troops about where and when they would attack. As part of the ruse the Allies leaked faked plans, sent bogus coded messages across the radio and set up diversionary camps.
    To add to the illusion, early on D-Day morning “Ruperts” – dummies dressed in paratrooper uniforms complete with boots and helmets – were dropped in Normandy and the Pas-de-Calais. The dummies were equipped with recordings of gunfire, while the real troops supplied additional sound effects to create the illusion of a large scale airborne attack. This operation, code-named “Titanic,” was designed to distract the German military while the main forces landed further to the west.

Question #3: [Regarding the inventor of the Western Intertie Network (aka WIN System), Jeffrey Stouffer -- better known to all of us Insomniac-Net denizens as Shorty [K6JSI]] -- How old was Jeff Stouffer when he got his first Amateur Radio license and what was his first call sign?
        A. 10 years old -- NO0DLE, or
        B. 12 years old -- KN6JSI, or
        C. 18 years old -- K6JSI

Taken from Shorty [K6JSI]'s QRZ.com biography page:
"My real name is Jeff, but at 6' - 6" tall, most everyone calls me 'Shorty' on the air. I was first licensed as a Novice Class Amateur Radio Operator as KN6JSI in 1953, at 12 years of age. The Novice Class was only good for one year, and was non-renewable, so my Mom drove me down the the FCC Building in Downtown LA during the summer school break in 1954, where I passed the General Class exam in front of an FCC examiner. That got rid of the 'N' in my call sign, and I've been K6JSI ever since. It also allowed me to operate on Phone, which was AM back then."
