Here is the sequel, Rotating Quiz #265. Its theme is American Presidents' lives. Listed below are 10 such presidents. Your task is to nominate the birth and death *year* for each one. So just respond with 2 years (birth, then death) under each president. A correct answer is worth 0 points, and you will lose 1 point for each year you are out by. The lowest total wins hosting rights for RQ #266. Good Luck! Here are the correct answers: President born died George Washington 1732 1799 Thomas Jefferson 1743 1826 Abraham Lincoln 1809 1865 US Grant 1822 1885 Bill Taft 1857 1930 Herbert Hoover 1874 1964 FDR 1882 1945 Dwight Eisenhower 1890 1969 Richard Nixon 1913 1994 Ronald Reagan 1911 2004 And the scores in order of receipt: Mark -23 -15 -3 -15 -13 -25 -2 -1 -7 -6 Total: -110 Dan B -3 -3 0 -3 -12 -23 -2 -3 -17 -3 Total: -69 Erland -23 -24 -19 -16 -9 -33 -12 -10 -13 -9 Total: -168 Dan T -11 -10 0 -25 -14 -15 -1 -6 -11 -20 Total: -113 Some observations: * FDR was the best answered, followed by Eisenhower (!) and Lincoln * Coolidge was easily the worst answered, followed by Washington (!) and Grant. Dan B is the clear winner and so gains the hosting rights for RQ #266. Over to you. Thanks for playing. cheers, calvin |

And for Reagan the birth year was an easy pick, since he at the time with his 69 years was the oldest person to have been elected president. I am not surprised that I was the end of the pack, as I just entered a bunch of guesses. I am little more surprised that so few entered, since coming up with guesses were not that hard. > * Coolidge was easily the worst answered, As a matter of fact, he was not answered at all. -- Erland Sommarskog, Stockholm, esquel@sommarskog.se |
