Yes, indeed! Marty and swa hitting one either side of the right answer...

I would also have accepted 103, which is the total number of years between 1337 and 1475 that England and France were actually in a state of War. (c.June 1337 - c.May 1360, c.July 1369 - c.July 1389, c.August 1415 - c.August 1475). The last battle of the War was fought in 1453 but a peace treaty was only signed 22 years later.

You're up Kiwi!

So the actual fighting part did come close to 100 years, interesting.

Well done.  Mxy came up with the hard-to-guess one, but I'll say JANE goes next since she got two of the three.

NP.  Your go, JD....



P.S. Yaaaa.  Um, I built a balsa wood scale model of a portion of Cape Canaveral/Cape Kennedy on one half of our ping-pong table at home when the Apollo program began. I also had Revell plastic models of the launch craft (Saturn V), Command+Service Module, and the LEM...  ::)   :embarrassing:

Aww, I knew it was a trick and I knew Michael Weasel didn't actually walk on the moon, but I didn't know who else it could be, so... Thanks Mxy! ;D

Don't have a new question yet, I'll have to think on it awhile. BRB
