I will guess 1957 (but if that's not right, it's 47, after all.) There wasn't much else to do in 1957 after you'd had the drag race between the Ford Fairlane and the Chevy Bellaire, and everybody cruised to the A&W for a root beer.

I will mark this up pending, and give Q4.
Its 1967... I remember reading the game, and it was really bad. NOBODY then believed, well almost nobody, what would be accomplished by sheer computing power in the coming decades.
Bluestockings.
And for my record, I dont think either of these is the million dollar question in that BR_______ category.
16-15 for B.
well, t-bone gets in there for four points. 20-15.
