Question 1:
What year was the term that refers to the four-year period between Olympic Games first used? Answer: 1896.
For clarification, Google is asking for the modern Olympics, not the ancient Olympics. it would help to know what the four year span between Games is called. That way you can find out when it was first used, historically and contemporarily. four-year period between "Olympic Games" will get the answer Olympiad. Looking further into the results one runs across the first modern Olympics, which was held in Athens, Greece.
Question 2:
In the Roger Federer biography, "Quest for Perfection", the author describes her first meeting with Federer in what year? Answer: 1996.
Look up rené stauffer roger federer meeting. On the first page of results Google have a list of results that described a meeting between the author and the tennis phenom. One of those sports articles has the age of Federer at the time the meeting and the byline date. You can extrapolate the year they met from that information.
Question 3:
What former Baltimore Colt inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1968, published an autobiography in 1987? Answer: Art Donovan.
FYI: I use Wikipedia to crack this question. First, look up the list of players in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Next, you want to find all the inductees for 1968(there are seven). I looked at every single Wikipedia entry for a player who wrote a book in 1987. Hint: Fatso is the title of the book.
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
