China Japan Soviet Union Germany Soviet Union Answer: The 1980 Summer Olympics boycott was one part of a number of actions initiated by the United States to protest the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. The 1979 Soviet invasion of Afghanistan spurred Jimmy Carter to issue an ultimatum on January 20, 1980 that the United States would boycott the Moscow Olympics if Soviet troops did not withdraw from Afghanistan within one month. Sixty-five countries did not participate in the Olympics despite being invited. The Soviet Union would later boycott the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.

Yellow Black White Purple Answer: Xanthophobia is fear of the color yellow. While, at first glance, this may seem like a foolish fear, it is real to the people impacted by this phobia. Xanthophobia derives from the Greek word “xantho”, meaning yellow and “phobos” which means fear. The common cause of this phobia is traumatic experiences involving the color yellow, like getting stung by a bee or perhaps getting hit by a yellow car. Sufferers would not eat cheese, mustard, bananas, lemons, or anything that is yellow.

I know I learned this in school, but don't recall! I will guess 12 seconds! Answer: The first flight was flown by Orville Wright and lasted 12 seconds. On December 17, 1903, Orville Wright piloted the first powered airplane 20 feet above a wind-swept beach in North Carolina. The inaugural flight lasted 12 seconds and covered 120 feet. Three more flights were made that day with Orville's brother Wilbur piloting the longest one which lasted 59 seconds over a distance of 852 feet. Their historic aircraft is on display at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C.

Betty Crocker Chef Boyardee Sarah Lee Colonel Sanders I got no idea Answer: The man who graces cans of beefaroni, Hector Boiardi, was not only a real person, but he was a culinary talent and founder of Chef Boyardee Foods. While working in West Virginia, Boiardi directed the catering for President Woodrow Wilson’s second marriage, to Edith Galt, in 1915. Mr. Boiardi later moved to Cleveland, where he opened a restaurant. The idea for Chef Boyardee came about when his restaurant customers began asking him to sell them his spaghetti sauce. He named his product "Boyardee" to help Americans pronounce his name correctly. Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.

Albuquerque Portland Memphis Denver My guess is Denver Answer: Denver, Colorado claims to be home to the world’s first cheeseburger in 1935, although two competing claims go back as far as 1926. A trademark for the name "cheeseburger" was awarded to Louis Ballast of the Humpty Dumpty Drive-In in Denver, Colorado. Louis Ballast first registered the “cheeseburger” trademark on March 5, 1935. Before settling on cheese, he experimented with Hershey bars and peanut butter as burger toppings. On the northwest side of downtown Denver is a stone marker that claims to be the site of the creation of the cheeseburger.
