One up to you. You can't find a copy in braille on the web, can you? Here's my notes:
0-100 - TRUE. Though this is not the "hilt and point" sword dancing common throughout Europe from as early as the 14th Century. Tacitus (Germania) said - "Sports. Passion for Gambling. One and the same kind of spectacle is always exhibited at every gathering. Naked youths who practise the sport bound in the dance amid swords and lances that threaten their lives. Experience gives them skill and skill again gives grace; profit or pay are out of the question; however reckless their pastime, its reward is the pleasure of the spectators." Similar dances still appear to be practised in Serbia.

er ... well, actually (and surprisingly enough) Kemp's "9 Days Wonder" did take 23 days. He also describes himself as a jester (among other things) though he was also an actor (among other things) ... still, you may be right ...
