Queen Victoria sat on the British throne for 63 years, from which U.S. president to which U.S. president?
A: John Adams to Abraham Lincoln B: Ulysses S. Grant to Woodrow Wilson
C: Martin Van Buren to William McKinley D: Andrew Jackson to Herbert Hoover

+1

Emma watched documentaries about Presidents to prep for the show, but she doesn’t know about Queen Victoria. Emma’s +1 is her aunt Terry. Terry knows the Victorian era was in the 1800’s, so Adams is too early and Hoover is too late. She thinks it’s Van Buren to McKinley. Emma asks Terry to work back from the current Queen. Terry says Elizabeth has been Queen for over 50 years. Before her was the guy that had the stutter that they did the movie about, and the guy that married Wallis and abdicated. She still thinks it’s Van Buren to McKinley. Emma isn’t sure and walks away with $20,000.

Answer

C: Martin Van Buren to William McKinley

Answer

I'm not sure where I heard this, but I knew it. Also, IIRC, scientists say that horseshoe crabs are the oldest species that hasn't undergone any significant evolutionary changes (450 million years).

20K: I know octopi have blue blood, so I'd assume the only sea creature up there would also have blue blood.

30K: I know Queen Victoria reigned from 1837 to 1901, corresponding to Van Buren and McKinley.

So I'd be facing 50K with 3 lifelines left.
