Whichever you choose of the latter two. I have a wide breadth of knowledge
but most are around 4 or 5, so it's fairly common that I come up empty.

Most of them. Lesse if I can recall, well, everrything having a history in
it, that is, Magical Theory, Military Thepry (or is it science) and Sociology,
concentrated, general at 1, all of 5. He likes history. Psychology at 4, all
of the hard sciences (chemistry, engineering, physics, etc etc) at 4 as well
as biology. A few B/Rs, plenty of knowledge skills referring to music. That's
about all that I can see being relevant. This does not account for cyberware
bonuses, which there are probably anywhere from +1 to +4.

Anything specific and I'll find where I archived the character files to make
sure of it for you.
