History can wait

Happy Wednesday! The midpoint of the week can only mean one thing: a theme hidden among the questions and answers in our Tightrope quiz! Last week, the theme was based on the number 100 in honor of the 100th week of Tightrope. Today, we continue our hiatus from history with a theme that is NOT connected to this particular date. If you think you managed to connect the dots, reply to this email and let us know! And if you love finding hidden links, try sorting 12 diverse images into a logical order by playing The Loop here!
