Immediately after posting, I realized the connection on these, which is why I changed my answer to #3. I'll bet the real name of the Arch begins with E. Or else I've got it wrong completely

1. What country is known as Kemet in the local language?

Hmm....Ethiopia or Egypt? Could be either, but it sounds more Egyptian than Ethiopian, so EGYPT.

2. Eero Saarinen designed what structure which stands above the Museum of Westward Expansion?

THE GATEWAY ARCH?. I know he did that, and it's reasonable. I've been there, but I can't remember the Museum.

3. What is the common name for the animals of the Order Proboscidea?

ELEPHANTS

4. What “E” sport will award medals in six events at this summer’s Olympics?

Well, I wish I'd seen this a couple of hours ago. I just figured I was too late!

Posted: **Mon Jul 07, 2008 4:42 pm**

Hmmm... looks like there is a theme...

Spoiler

1. Seems to be an 'E' theme, so go with Egypt

2. Saarinen was Estonian or something, can't think of an 'E' structure, figure the 'E' is him, so go with the Gateway Arch in St. Louis

3. Heffalumps, aka Elephants

4. Equestrian stuff

A lot of "E"s in this one, either answers or key parts of the question, made me think about the "theme" hint and led me to change my answer on question 1. I was originally going to guess Jordan on this.

Previous days also appear to follow this pattern (So far A, B and C. D appears to have gotten skipped on the 4th unless "Declaration" fits the pattern...)
