This one's easy. All you have to do is hold hands and sing Cat Stevens songs guess the number of shootings and stabbings (combined) to occur on the streets of Boston during the upcoming Peace Weekend.

City and state officials announced this morning that this weekend will be the first annual Peace Weekend in Boston, an event designed to encourage youth and adults to sit down to solve the city's rising crime problems.
