Quick (?) easy (?) question - AussieMick - 12-02-2019 01:57 AM
The Weekend Australian has quite a good Quiz. This week it included ...
"Which two American Presidents were in the White House 10 years after they were first elected?"
You should be able to get one straight away ... but the other? (I couldnt get either but then I'm not a US citizen)

Franklin Roosevelt and Grover Cleveland?

Yes, Roger ... well done. FDR won 4 times. Cleveland had 2 non-consecutive terms.

That was an interesting question, Michael. I would have used it as a trivia question in class (before I retired from teaching) if I had ever thought of it in the way it was worded.

Yes, great question! I knew FDR but not GC.

I knew someone had had non-consecutive terms but couldn't remember who. Great question!
