Well, after getting to the 4th question on 5/14, today I lost on the first question.
The first question is as follows:
Arrange the following advertising forms according to their US debut, starting with the earliest:
1) internet banner
2) skywriting
3) magazine advertising
4) tv advertising
I put down 3421.
I thought that skywriting had originated in the 1960s or the 1970s.
According to a google search, skywriting was invented in England in 1923.
Skywriting a little later moved to the US.
So, I would guess that the correct order is 3241.
Is this correct?
This sounds too difficult for a first question.
What happened to arranging the words to form a song title?
By the way, on 5/14, the 4th question was the following:
Arrange the following geological units from highest to lowest:
1) period
2) era
3) epoch
4) eon
I knew that eon was the longest. I thought that all the rest were interchangeable.
So, I said 4321.
The thesaurus lists all 4 of these terms as being synonyms of each other.
However, I did a google search, and the coorect answer is 4213.

I decided to give it a shot tonight. Actually I'm kind of wondering why I haven't tried before — worst that could happen is I blow an easy question, right?
First question: Arrange these parts of a car from front to back
1- Door lock
2- Windshield
3- Trunk
4- Headlight
No problem. 4-2-1-3.
Second question: Arrange these historical figures in order of their birth, starting with the most recent
1- Eva Peron
2- Sojourner Truth
3- Jesse Jackson
4- George Washington
I had no idea. I tried 1-3-4-2. Looking them up on Encarta shows the right answer as 3-1-2-4.
