The Chase

Post by DustyBawls » Mon Feb 18, 2019 10:36 pm

FactualFrank has just got to the final stages of The Chase. This should be fun if he's chosen. Lost his mum and lost his dad at a young age, yet knows every president of the USA over the last 300 years, knows the presidents of Mount Rushmore and knows every nobel winner since 1901. Fair play, chap.

I am now getting Wikipedia loaded up. This could be a decent way to make money!

Let's start.. there are 4 American presidents on Mount Rushmore.

Name them. A point for each. No Googling.

The sculpture features the 60-foot (18 m) heads of Presidents George Washington (1732–1799), Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826), Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919), and Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865).[4]

Correct but the OP needs to google US presidents as there wasn't one 300 years ago ..... 1776 was the start of American independance so only 242/3 years ago ;)

Good luck Frank ... I had great fun down at Boreham Wood on my show despite getting chased down by Mark Labett ....

And the city. Although his first initial is G, not D.C, which I presume was a mistake of sorts.

Benjamin Franklin is on the $100 bill hence its called a Benjamin, and quite a few people mistakenly think Franklin was a president but he wasn't. Because he is on said note....

2 dollar bill is Jefferson, 5 dollar is Lincoln , 10 dollar is Alexander Hamilton (also not a president), 20 dollar is Andrew Jackson, 50 dollar is Ulysses S Grant and as you say the 100 is Benjamin Franklin

Some also think "Martha's Vineyard" in Massachusetts is named after Martha Washington wife of George... but it was actually named in 1602 by an early explorer who's name escapes me.......

Washington State is also West Coast Riley but Washington is in the District of Columbia....

Hence why the US capital is Washington DC.....
