50 Quizzes, So Many People To Thank!

Answer: Oscar Weber Bilby

Although Weber Bilby is almost undisputedly known as the cheeseburger creator, the inventor of the hamburger is yet unknown. The Library of Congress of the United States once declared Lassen first sold the hamburger as a steak sandwich, and then, when sailors from Hamburg, Germany arrived at the place, they named the dish for their city. The Library of Congress also said these claims were subject to dispute.

I remember when I wrote my first quiz, "The Great American Hamburger", it was an Author's Challenge and I simply decided to start writing, out of nowhere. Look where that decision got me! My Interesting Information section was very short back then, but I learned from that quiz how other quizzes should look like. It wasn't a bad start, after all!

Answer: Gustave Courbet

"Young Woman From The Village" and "Sea Coast in Normandy" are just two of Courbet's great works. He is regarded as one of the most important realists.

I based that quiz on some notes I had from a History class I took in school, and those little notes amazingly turned into a whole quiz!

Answer: Elton John

The title of that quiz was "The One Who Writes the Words for Elton John", as that was the name of a book he released in 1973, which contained many of his lyrics written for John. Taupin also wrote "We Built This City" for "Starship".

Inspiration for this quiz was drawn from reading a random article in Wikipedia. You never know where you can end when visiting Wikipedia!

Answer: Gustavo Diaz Ordaz

The Massacre of Tlatelolco occurred in 1968 in the Tlatelolco Square, when students protesting against government repression were shot massively. Echeverria was the minister of the interior at that time, and some say he ordered the killings. However, he was elected President when Diaz Ordaz term ended.

I wish this tragedy had never happened, but now it has, it is our duty to preserve the memory of it, so it doesn't happen again.

Answer: Raul Di Blasio

I wrote "Give It Up For The Great Raul Di Blasio" right after playing his hit "Corazon de Niņo", or "Child's Heart" on the piano. Di Blasio practiced for 12 hours every day, and he achieved great international success.
