October 6Oct 6 I can't remember what years Taft was president, but it seems like it would've been around the time of the first modern Olympics. So I'll say D: William Taft

October 6Oct 6 Better double check this question, Wowman.Reagan was the first president to attend the Summer Olympic games in 1984, but FDR as governor of New York opened the Lake Placid games in 1932, then was elected president nine months later. So technically, he was the first president, (although you did mention sitting, so never mind!!!)Oh yeah, Taft (1909-1913) wore a gray suit with a waistcoat! Come to think of it, he ALWAYS wore a gray coat with a waistcoat!!! 🤣 Remember, history and civics teacher here!

October 9Oct 9 Yeah, no pinstripes for Taft! 😆 He was a wee bit on the stout size!Besides, as Wagi will probably remind us, I knew him personally! You know, being older than dirt and all!

October 12Oct 12 While I'm not a huge NBA fan, I know that record was held by A: Wilt Chamberlin and I don't recall hearing of anyone breaking it.Growing in the shadow of volcanoes I know 219 is too high and 48 is way too low, so between the last two I'll go with C: 169
October 12Oct 12 It's "Let's make a fool of JB" time again. Come on down!I'm gonna disagree with Wagi [GASP!] and say B: Michael Jordan for the first one. And A: 48 volcanoes for the second one. (My math: ~20 for Hawaii, ~20 for Alaska, and the rest divvied up amongst Washington, Oregon, and California.) Oh wait, there's that big one in Yellowstone too!

October 15Oct 15 I have no idea either. But looking at both questions together, the second question would appear to coincide with the first. I'm gonna say (guess) C: 1982-1983 for question one and A: 1982 for the second.
October 16Oct 16 @JB , based on that logic, it could also be D: 1989-1990 and B: 1989.I don't usually partake in trivia games, but just this once (because it's a category I know almost nothing about) I'll take those as my guesses, D and B. The idea is to keep an open mind... just not so open that your brains fall out. - Harry Anderson
