10 Feb, 2016: Day 57

Question 1:
Many of the cave paintings at Lascaux show the animals with heads in profile, but with horns facing forward. This is an example of what convention of representation? Answer: twisted perspective.

Type "convention of representation" Lascaux horn forward. You will soon find out that this is an AP Art History question, which is strange because my copy of Gardner's doesn't have that information inside.

Question 2:
What NFL player (Redskins and Vikings) held onto his record as the all-time interception leader until he retired? Answer: Paul Krause.

Another NFL question. I beginning to wonder if the good people at Google are big time grid football fans, instead of cricket or association football. No matter, look up the answer using all-time interception leader NFL Redskins Vikings to come Football Hall of Fame inductee.

Question 3:
What element on the periodic table is named after the European capital where it was discovered in 1923? Answer: Hafnium.

Please see Day 10 for the explanation.

20 Dec, 2015: Day 10

Note: I went out to the movies last night with some friends and I didn't return home until 3 A.M. EDT. The only puzzle I was thinking about at that time was a shower and bed. Will have the search guides up around the same time as the next post.

Question 1:
What element on the periodic table is named after the European capital where it was discovered in 1923? Answer: Hafnium.

This is very easy. Type element discovered 1923 into the search field. You will see a Wikipedia entry on the element.

Question 2:
Who was appointed to the High Court of Australia on the same day that the first woman was appointed to that bench? Answer: John Toohey.

Type first woman appointed "High Court of Australia" into the search field. You will see a Wikipedia entry Mary Gaudron (which you will need) and list of judges of the High Court of Australia in order. Follow down to her name.

Question 3:
The creator of the first fantasy baseball league draft kept track of the players by hand and pulled statistics from what sports magazine? Answer: The Sporting News.

This is a hard one, the creator was a sports writer and that will throw off your searches. First find the creator of fantasy baseball. Next type "daniel okrent" fantasy baseball statistics magazine into the search field. You will see a result from a blogger with the information.
