I was looking forward to this game and we got way too busy for me to play. I didn't even get to look up at the game after the first question. How was the rest of the game?

I thought the game was fairly easy myself, with the exception of two or three questions. Let's see how many of them I can recall...

Well, the first question, as you know was what year George Washington was born...
The place/estate where Washington was born was a producer of ... ?
What animal's ivory was Washington's teeth made from?
Which statement about Washington is FALSE (Died in 1799; Vice President was John Adams; Had smallpox as a child; ... ; Graduated from Princeton)
First name of Washington's wife?
What kind of tree does legend state that Washington chopped down?
What was the name of the flag [forgot details of rest of question]... ?
The name of the estate that Washington lived at was... ?

This really is all I can remember.

Thanks. Wish I could've played. Darned customers asking for food and beer! It really cuts into my trivia time.

I had read through his wiki page beforehand just for some brief studying, and distinctly remembered this sentence:

"The set made when he became President was carved from hippopotamus and elephant ivory, held together with gold springs."

Naturally, both were choices.

I went with Wallrus ivory, but the answer was hippo. Washinton also had dentures made of human teeth and cows teeth.
