A E O U E Answer: Morse code is a method used in telecommunication to encode text characters as a standardized sequences of dots and dashes. Morse code is named after Samuel Morse, an inventor of the telegraph. To increase the efficiency of encoding, Morse code was designed so that the length of each symbol is approximately inverse to the frequency of occurrence of the character that it represents in text of the English language. Thus, the most common letter in English, the letter "E", has the shortest code: a single dot.

Associative law Commutative law Distributive law Pythagorean Theorem Commutative law Answer: The commutative law is a basic property used in mathematics. It states that the order in which you add or multiply two real numbers does not affect the result. Stated symbolically when we add: a + b = b + a and when we multiply: a × b = b × a. From these laws it follows that any finite sum or product is unaltered by reordering its terms or factors. The word commutative is a combination of the French word commuter meaning "to substitute or switch" and the suffix -ative meaning "tending to" so the word literally means "tending to substitute or switch."

Statue of Liberty Taj Mahal Empire State Building Rock of Gibraltar Rock of Gibraltar Answer: Prudential's logo, The Rock of Gibraltar, is one of the most recognized corporate symbols in the world. The use of the the Rock of Gibraltar, began after an advertising agent passed Laurel Hill, a volcanic neck, in Secaucus, New Jersey on a train in the 1890s. The related slogans "Own a Piece of the Rock" and "Strength of Gibraltar" are also still widely associated with Prudential. Through the years, the symbol went through various versions, but in 1989, a simplified pictogram symbol of the Rock of Gibraltar was adopted, and has been used ever since.

Pretzels Doughnuts Bagels Animal crackers Pretzels Answer: Most sources agree that the pretzel was invented by an Italian monk in the year 610 A.D. According to The History of Science and Technology, the monk baked strips of dough that he folded into a shape resembling a child crossing its arms in prayer. He would give these treats, which he called “pretiolas” or “little rewards,” to children who had memorized their prayers. The children got to eat them as snacks when they did good and a fad was born. Early pretzels were of the “soft” variety; hard pretzels are a relatively modern invention.

Fred Dobbs, Rick Blaine, Charlie Allnut, or Harry Davies Rick Blaine Answer: During a two-hour live television special on April 21, 1986, Geraldo Rivera opened a secret vault in the Lexington Hotel that was once owned by Al Capone. The live event was hyped as potentially revealing great riches or dead bodies on live television. This included the presence of a medical examiner should bodies be found, and agents from the Internal Revenue Service to collect any of Capone's money that might be discovered. When the vault was finally opened, the only things found inside were dirt and several empty bottles. Geraldo admitted defeat and voiced his disappointment to the 30 million viewers that tuned in to watch the event.

William Shakespeare T.S. Eliot Alfred, Lord Tennyson Ralph Waldo Emerson Alford, Lord Tennyson Answer: The famous line "Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all" is from an Alfred, Lord Tennyson poem called “In Memoriam A.H.H.” which he completed in 1849. Although the poem is is often associated with heartbreak after a break up, it was actually written about Tennyson’s best friend Arthur Henry Hallam (the “A.H.H.” in the title), who died suddenly at aged 22. Deeply grieved, Tennyson spent the next 17 years years composing his epic poem for his friend. It is widely considered one of the greatest poems of the 19th century.
