December 29, 1808 - you were supposed to think about this year and remember that you had heard as part of the Lincoln/Kennedy coincidences that Lincoln's VP, a Southerner named Johnson, was born in 1808 and Kennedy's VP, a Southerner named Johnson, was born in 1908. Or maybe all of you did that and expected it would sheep.

June 14, 1946

71 years old seemed about right to me for W. It was. The problem was he was born July 6th of that year. President Trump is Flag Day of that year. I won't forget that now.

Clinton was born August 19th in 1946. I don't know how to remember that one.

I am unsure on how to score a TD question. Q7 asks for the president by the first lady's maiden name. One of the respondents answered with the first lady's name, e.g., Rosalynn Smith Carter. If this person had answered with only the last name of the president, e.g., Carter, I would definitely accept it. This is a close call, but so are some other incorrect answers that are coming up.

I'm taking my right answer as a lucky (but educated) guess. Not many 4 letter Universities out there.

If I parsed this right, the player showed he knew a correct answer but phrased it incorrectly. If that is so, I'd let him slide. We don't have to be so hardassed where no money is at stake.

P.S. It wasn't me, was it?
I'm smart and I want respect.

People seriously goofed up the question about which president was the first to be popularly elected a senator. Senators only started getting elected popularly in 1914, so what were you thinking with those 19th century presidents?
