Edit - While many players zeroed in on the correct father/son combination for the main question, it clearly asked for the name of the Civil War soldier, not his famous son the comic and juggler.
For the first part of the bonus question, I accepted either Alfred or Alferd as Packer’s first name. I accepted murder, cannibalism, manslaughter, or any combination of the three as an answer to the second part of the question.
The third part of the question asked for the new lifestyle that he took up late in life and said that it was notably different from his past. Since the question stated that Packer had drifted from job to job before settling in Colorado, I decided that, while it is true that he worked at a couple of different jobs after being released from prison, that didn’t represent anything notably different from drifting from job to job, as he had done before.
So my ruling is that the answer to the third part of the question had to include a reference to his becoming a vegetarian, which would clearly represent something different from cannibalism. A player could mention the jobs as long as the answer also mentioned vegetarian, but answers that only mentioned the jobs without mentioning vegetarian were judged incorrect.
