[Anita]

I've visited Peru a number of times and I recall being told that it was Millard Fillmore. Guano was a big deal at the time because of it's importance to agriculture. Don't know about today.

Was it Andrew Johnson?

Good guess, Roger, but actually this was from the lips of a previous President.

Let's try this question - which should send most of you to your list of Presidents:

Which Presidents have only one syllable in their last name?

Trump, Bush, Bush, Ford, Taft, Hayes, Grant, Pierce, Polk

Here's another one: Which President is the only one to have Roman numerals on his grave marker?

[Eva Elisabeth]

I'd think some of the less "prominent" ones - Pierce or Fillmore?

Good guesses both of you, but not correct. Hint #2 - The number of numerals in the full Roman numeral on the gravestone will tell you which President he was. There are four.

Another good guess, but not correct. Keep eliminating via considering the number of times four Roman numerals are used to give an actual number.
