See if there is interest for this.
1. Each day I will post 10 questions, at random times of the day.
2. Each Quiz runs exactly 24 hours.
3. The first person that has all 10 questions right, wins. Or if no one has all questions right, the best one wins.
4. You can only post answers ONCE for the same quiz.

2. The first Russian Tsar?
3. The first letter in the greek alphabet?
4. The first female Nobel Prize winner for Chemistry?
5. The first talking picture?
6. The first human in space?

8. The first person to run the minute mile?
9. The first artist (recording) on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine?
