24 Jan, 2016: Day 40

Question 1:
What area of the country is the main benefactor of the electricity generated by the Hoover Dam? Answer: Southern California.

Input this as a search query: hoover dam power output. In the page of results there are three choices, but one matters more than the other two.

Question 2:
The Indian river basin that includes approximately 25% of the country's area is bound by what mountain range to the south? Answer: Vindhya.


In the search field I first used Indian river basin 25 percent to find out that Google wanted information on the Ganges basin. Next I looked up this area in Google Images, Ganges basin, looking for topographic maps. You will see another mountain range, the Kaimur Range, south of Benares.

Question 3:
In January 2012, the Broncos announced their new defensive coordinator, a former linebacker, who retired from playing in what year? Answer: 1996.


Look up 2012 Broncos defensive coordinator to find former Minnesota Vikings player Jack Del Rio. From there it's looking at his Wikipedia page.
