Question 1:
What was the name of the NYC theater before it was renamed for the playwright who, until 1981, was married to the "Goodbye Girl"? Answer: Alvin Theatre.

Just to let you know the date on Wikipedia (what Google might have used) of Neal Simon's divorce from actress Marsha Mason is wrong. They legally separated in 1983, not 1981. I have an article from People and Ms. Mason's IMDB bio as sources. Try looking up the answer by using "Goodbye Girl" and choose the older actress, the younger one was a teen in the early 80s. Look up her bio and you will see that she was married to Neil Simon. Replace the query with: neil simon theatre new york to zero in on the answer.

Question 2:
What area of the country is the main benefactor of the electricity generated by the Hoover Dam? Answer: Southern California.

Please see Day 40 for the explanation.

Question 3:
What actress, best known for her role on "Guiding Light,” has a sister-in-law that’s been nominated for an Academy Award seventeen times? Answer: Maeve Kinkead.

Let's work backwards, first with the film star. Try as your first search query actress nominated for "Academy Award" 17 times. You will get actress Meryl Streep, who as of this post holds the record of nominations, 19. Next, Meryl Streep siblings which there are two, Dana and Harry Jr. One is publicly married, the other is not.

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.
