It’s a game where you have to guess the year that famous events happened between 1900 and 2021. Questions range from geo-political conflicts to when inventions and companies were founded. Questions include:
- What year was the CIA founded?
- What year did the Titanic sink?
- What yea was the first Nobel prize awarded?
- What year did George Orwell publish Nineteen Eighty-Four?
- What year did Calvin Coolidge become president of the United States?
Hope you have fun with it. My personal high score is 10, but one of my friends managed to get 24.

Very nice, thanks for making it. Clean looking and interesting.
One nit is that I'm absolutely unclear how the scoring works. Sometimes it subtracts 3 lives for being off a bit and sometimes it takes away one life for being off by a lot... or at least it seemed like it. I don't think I got a single date exactly, most of them were within 3-5 years. Still scored 13.
