That’s the second one, take it away Surrey.

 

Ok..
If New York =5 and Ohio =7; what does Texas equal...?

 

I initially thought it was numbers of House Representatives, but these numbers are too low, and then the order when they joined the Union, but no.....

Time to ponder.

 

Is this to do with the number of presidencies from each state ? New York has had 5 presidents of the USA - so is the answer 3 for Texas ?

 

Not 3...but you have the correct idea!

 

I think only 2 were actually born there, so I'll change that to 2 ?

 

Thats the one...Number of US presidents born in that state.
Over to you..

 

Which one of LBJ and the two Bushes wasn’t born there?

 

Neither of the Bushes was born there but I think Eisenhower was.

 

Cheers Surrey. The World record for this is 4.22 seconds, and the inventor took a month what is it ?

 

Rubik's cube?

 

That's the one Stroller. Over to you.

 

What connects the Atlas Mountains, the Appalachians and the Scottish Highlands.

 

They were all created during the same geological era, ie they are the same age, but I don’t know which one.

 

Maybe, but that's not the connection.

 

They all contain old red sandstone?

 

Possibly, but that's not the connection either.

 

They were all part of the same mountain range before the continents broke up

 

That's right, they were 'connected'. They were all part of the Central Pangean Mountains in the Triassic period.

 

Just off to walk the dog, I’ll think up a question on the way. Do you have a replacement for the ox yet?
