Only heard of Arcade Fire but had no idea how many members they had.

Both B and C sounded like the could be solo acts and it was Question 2, so I figured logic would get me there. A also sounded like a large choir.

Fail.

Fun fact: Toad means "Kröte" in German. Turtle/Tortoise means "Schildkröte" (lit. "shield toad").
I wish this was about shield toads instead...

He was a boxer, which I think was really impressive. But this was back in the days of only the more wealthy/elite being able to do professional sports and before hyper specialisation. I think this record will never be matched. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_Eagan
