"Which crop's failure was responsible for millions of Irish emigrating to the U.S. in the 1840's?"

You only wish you were seeing the same questions I am.

Enjoying the gimmes as long as they keep sending them my way...

It's eerie how much your Frankie looks like my Frank did when he was that age. Soooooooooooooo cute.

Have had three gimmees in a row. This after starting the new year with a miss every other day...

And congrats to Nelly who got another WTHAI correct.

Mine today asked "Where is Mauretania?" A gimme, but the quirky spelling and the wordiness of the choices slowed me down to over 7 seconds.

Congrats on the top spot!

The question could be "Where is Mauritania" or "Where was Mauretania" But since Mauretania no longer exists and shared little or no land in common with the present day country of Mauritania it doesn't make much sense as written.

Although I suppose if the answer could be as simple as "Africa" it successfully covers both!
