Let the questions begin!

1 point for the first person to buzz in with the correct answer.

All official questions will be posed by me, any other questions will not count for points.

No googling for answers is allowed, some questions will be easy and some will be hard. Let the questioning BEGIN!


-----------------


In the past one hundred and fifty years, one man has run for President for one of the major parties, three times and never been President of the Unted States of America. Can you name that man?

Correct! In 1896, 1900 and 1908 in fact.

1 point to PBrunsel.

Next question (btw these aren't all American questions Tongue)

---------------------

Who was the leader of the Labour party who became the UK Prime Minister during the Yalta Conference after his party took control of the House of Commons away from the Conservatives and thus deposing Winston Churchill?

(HINT: 1945)

*ding* Correct!

Tigerfan04 gets the point.

Scores are:

PBrunsel: 1
Tigerfan04: 1

Only the first to answer receives the points guys!

Next question (an obscure one in my opinion)

----------------------


What was the minimum wage when Kennedy came to power before he instigated a rise under the New Frontier?

By the way, it is spelt Attlee not Atlee Tongue

*beep* Incorrect.

BTW, I assure you all that I am asking you questions that I know the answer to and not looking for obscure questions online.

*Ding* Correct! Well Done Beet! BTW, Mr Fresh, $1.25 was the Minimum Wage after Kennedy raised it as part of his New Frontier Programme, under Johnson's Great Society it was raised further to $1.40.

Scores:

PBrunsel: 1
Tigerfan04: 1
Senator Beet: 1

Next question:

--------------------

In which city in 1960 did four black students stage a sit-in protest in a Woolworths?

--------------------

and, as I have a particularly obscure question in mind, for a bonus 5 points!!!

In which year did the last officially unemployed person in the U.S.S.R. find work?

LOL, this is probably sometime during the Stalin-Trotsky power struggle, so I'll say 1927

*Ding* Correct on the Protest, it was, in fact, in Greensboro, NC. However, 1927 is not the correct answer.

Scores:

Senator Beet: 2
PBrunsel: 1
Tigerfan04: 1

The bonus question still stands:

In which year did the last officially unemployed person in the U.S.S.R. find work?

------------------


Next question:

Which Doctrine was adopted as Soviet Foreign Policy following the Prague Springs?

Worth 1 point.
