10 More Days Until Court & Waiting Contest



There are 10 more days until my court date!

Therefore, I really need to step up the trivia waiting contest in an attempt to get some lucky reader up to 100 points.

So each day from now until court I will offer a trivia question of 10 or more points. That means some of you in the bottom quarter still have a chance to win :-)

I have one prize in mind for expectant moms and new moms. I have another prize in mind for a winner who has already been a mom for awhile or isn't a mother. So there is a cool prize for whoever wins.

Ready?

Set?

Go!

This is for 10 points to the first person to answer accurately:

How long ago is Lucy estimated to have lived in Ethiopia?

And for 5 points (to a different reader than the first question):
Who was Ethiopia's first emperor?



Good luck!

3.2 million years ago. Getting in the game late, but this was the first question I had a shot at before others answered. Hope other answers aren't in line. danicuz

ƒirst emperor disputed: either Mara Takla Haymanot or the offspring of King Solomon and Queen of Sheba: Menelik I. ?

3.2 million years ago and Menelik I, first Emperor. I hope this gets me some points. Maybe you'll have a second place prize. LOL

Danicuz gets the 10 points and Tami gets the 5 points. (Danicuz, I held back your second answer because you won the first question, in order to give someone else a shot, but good job!)

Can you offer points for how to get tofu crispy on your next thing. Because I remember you wanting to know that a long time ago, and I finally figured out how. danicuz

Danicuz,
Ummm....
Would that be considered stacking the deck in your favor?
Although your memory is outstanding and I feel like asking that question just to reward your memory!
We'll see... check back ;-)
