self-bump for later

[cvq3842]

Wow! I thought I knew a lot, but I'm fairly well stumped on most, if not all, of these.

Let's see what the combined brainpower of FR comes up with. It will be a wonder to behold! (I mean it!)

[synbad600]

I'm guessing #1 rhymes with Maine. Paine? Does he fit the bill?

[Yogafist]

bump

[NYIslander]

I got #1. James Blaine of Maine.

[Blzbba]

1. Ummm...???

2. Reverse alphabetical order of middle name (or initial, in the case of Truman)

3. Andrew Johnson due to being impeached?

4. No clue

5. Gerald Ford...oldest living ex President?

6-10 - No clue.

Really, these answers are more 'bumps for later' than anything else!

[So Cal Rocket]

I believe #2 is listed in reverse alphabetical order, based on their middle names.

[NYIslander]

#5...how far away is Gerald Ford from being the longest-living ex-president? He has to be ancient by now.

"John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, Barry Goldwater, Gerald Ford, Walter Mondale, Michael Dukakis and Bob Dole did it.


Hubert Humphrey, George McGovern and John Kerry failed to do it. "

Anything to do with Viagra?

[cvq3842]

OK, let me give this a real try:

1 someone else alread has - Blaine from Maine
2 no clue - I will be mad when I hear the answer, wishing I had thought of it
3 Again, had to be someone inaugurated on March 5 since March 4 was a Sunday that year.
4 no clue
5 Someone got this - Gerald Ford, oldest President ever (?)
6 Dunno - all presidential nominees, but I bet the answer hads nothing to do with that
7 Coolidge - born on July 4 (?) - I didn't google it, but I think that's right
8 Dunno
9 Washington - Inaugurated on April 30, not March 4
10 Born on Feb 22 - thank GOD no other similarities!!!

Bump for after work

[RedWing9]

BillyBoy, this seems right up your alley...

[linda_22003]

I'll add my own favorite trivia question; let's see who gets it fastest. Try not to Google if you can help it. :)

Who's the only president buried IN Washington, DC?

[HEY4QDEMS]

Ping to self.

[HEY4QDEMS]

No# 7 should be easy, there are only two federal holidays that are observed on the actual date, Christmas and the 4th of July.

What ever president is born on one of those dates must be the answer.

[Young Werther]

Who was the "first" President?

George Washington is NOT the answer!

[Political Junkie Too]

Wow! I was doing better with the Netflix radio quizzes.

[defconw]

BTTT

[scarface367]

I believe the answer to number 6 has to do with winning the state they were born in.

[Radix]

Nbr 1 is James Blaine from the great state of Maine.

I'm stumped on most after that, but I am thinking that winning California might be Nbr 6.

Where is that Google button?

Will you post the results later?
