Talk:History Lesson

I went for first assembly line for Ford - doesn't matter though: the answer is still the same!!

Einstein had a number of firsts to his name but I think that the theory of relativity fits the answer.

I too got the final clue without knowing the real answer to the two event clues but I have a problem with them both. (Spoilers added because the discussion gives away the method of reaching the answers) <spoiler>Aryabhata is believed to be the first person to describe a heliocentric solar system: he was born in Ashmak (which fits the place name in both unfilled lines) but he lived and studied in Kusumapura, also called Pataliputra (now Patna), in India. None of those fit either of the vacant lines. I did wonder whether they had used Hindustan for India .... but that doesn't fit unless an old spelling (Hindoostan) is used. If that were the case then the other unfilled line would be the one that refrered to the arches. The 'R' in the country name means that it has to be Iraq or Iran but the earliest arches are from the Indus Valley (Pakistan) and Mesopotamia (Iraq) was later.</spoiler> Oh well: it's all academic anyway since it is possible to get the final clue without these two answers. I shall just be interested to see what the official answers to those two lines are.PurplePenny 05:12, 23 January 2007 (PST)
