The first 20 community members to "wow" us with their guesses will get a little something from us this month!

Here's how it works: the Haiclue is a haiku written by one of our most poetically-inclined team members (hi Alex!) and featuring the voice of the esteemed Addison Anderson. It contains three lines, each of which is a clue that hints at the subject of one of this month's upcoming lessons. 

Try to guess all three lesson topics, and post your guesses in the comments section of this Patreon post! 

The first 20 awesome guesses get a little surprise. Thanks for playing!

A little late to the party but here goes: #1 - the immune system! #2 - I was going to say Irish Elk but the gorgeous animation/illustration may be hinting at a mythology battle? I see some people guessing Fionn mac Cumhall, so I'll go with that :D #3 - another one for the Greek myths - Orpheus and Eurydice!

Great guesses, SookKwan, as always! #2 is close, but not quite. It looks like we need a lesson on Fionn mac Cumhall :). Meanwhile, check your messages for a special bonus perk from TED-Ed!
