Bob had finally made it to the last round of the 64,000 Question. The night before the big question, he told the M.C. that he desired a question on American History.

Bob, your question on American History is a twopart question. As you know, you may answer either part first. As a rule, the second half of the question is always easier. Which part would you like to take a stab at first? Bob was now becoming more noticeably nervous. He couldn't believe it, but he was drawing a blank. American History was his easiest subject, but he played it safe. 'I'll try the easier part first.' The M.C. nodded approvingly. 'Here we go Bob. I will ask you the second half first, then the first half.' The audience was silent with anticipation......'Bob, here is your question And in what year did it happen??'
