Here is what you need to provide:
1.  The correct answer.
2.  Search engine(s) used, and why.
3.  How to find the answer.

You will have 45 minutes to complete your searches.
If you finish early, move on to the second question from the next group, and then that group’s first question.

Many of the questions herein have been borrowed from the superb Squirrel Hunt Archive.
Please do not use that as a source for your answers, but if later you just want to while away some time on the ’Net, try more from their archives.

The homework assignment answers, an individual effort by each student, are to be e-mailed to me not later than 2359, Wednesday, 28 January 2004.
