Hmmm. I guess that would be...Mexico!

When was the first permanent base established in Antarctica, what is it's name and what country oversees it?

Fairly sure she was MAUREEN Cox.

Ulysses S. Grant, I presume.

Do you mean the Chuckle Patch in The Magic Garden TV show?

Also nobody is BURIED in Grant's Tomb---Grant and his wife are interred above-ground---that's why it's a trick question :D.

Lake Tahoe straddles the border of which 2 states?

Can't find anything on the giggle patch.

Not sure I agree on the burial thing. Grant's own wife referred to the tomb as his burial chamber. Not everything buried has to be underground.

Lake Tahoe straddles NV and CA, IIRC.


What was Don Draper's real name?

I think the Giggle Patch was a patch of laughing flowers on "The Magic Garden."

The actor who played Don Draper was named Jon Hamm.

What are the names, chemical symbols and numbers of the four most recently added elements to the Periodic Table?

Margd, your answer is incorrect. I did not ask for Jon Hamm's name. Take another look.

Oh, dear.  
  I was afraid you might say that.   Ok, a bit more digging has unearthed the name Dick Whitman.  (I guess it's obvious I've not seen "Mad Men.")

"It’s official. Chemistry’s highest gatekeepers have accepted the newly proposed names for elements 113, 115, 117 and 118.

Please welcome to the periodic table: Nihonium, Moscovium, Tennessine and Oganesson."

No clue what the symbols are. I don't ever remember studying the periodic table at school in England. Did we call it something else?

whose real name is Reg Dwight?
