Millionaire phone game of 5/15/2004

Well, after getting to the 4th question on 5/14, today I lost on the first question.

The first question is as follows:

Arrange the following advertising forms according to their US debut, starting with the earliest:

1) internet banner

2) skywriting

3) magazine advertising

4) tv advertising


I put down 3421.

I thought that skywriting had originated in the 1960s or the 1970s.



According to a google search, skywriting was invented in England in 1923.
Skywriting a little later moved to the US.


So, I would guess that the correct order is 3241.
Is this correct?

This sounds too difficult for a first question.

What happened to arranging the words to form a song title?



By the way, on 5/14, the 4th question was the following:

Arrange the following geological units from highest to lowest:

1) period

2) era

3) epoch

4) eon


I knew that eon was the longest. I thought that all the rest were interchangeable.

So, I said 4321.

The thesaurus lists all 4 of these terms as being synonyms of each other.

However, I did a google search, and the coorect answer is 4213.

I decided to give it a shot tonight.  Actually I'm kind of wondering why I haven't tried before — worst that could happen is I blow an easy question, right?

First question:  Arrange these parts of a car from front to back
1- Door lock
2- Windshield
3- Trunk
4- Headlight

No problem.  4-2-1-3.

Second question:  Arrange these historical figures in order of their birth, starting with the most recent
1- Eva Peron
2- Sojourner Truth
3- Jesse Jackson
4- George Washington

I had no idea.  I tried  1-3-4-2.  Looking them up on Encarta shows the right answer as 3-1-2-4.
