Our trivia team had a question about the color of Tony's nose, so that sealed the deal for me. I suspect the 50:50 would have left B and D.

Again our trivia team had a question asking for the only president with a patent; we knew it was Lincoln and afterward I looked up the answer to see what the patent was. It was a device for lifting boats over obstructions in a river.

What makes Cherry Orchard famous, to me anyway, is that at the end the perpetually squabbling relatives forget the caretaker is still in the house, & wall him in so that he can't get out. Or so I heard/read anyway.
