Step 1 : Introduction to the question "3. She was eleven when she saw a plane for the first time at the Iowa State Fair. She broke records as a pilot and disappeared in her plane somewhere over the Pacific Ocean while attempting to fly around the world. Who is this female daredevil?"

...1. Jeannette Smith 2. Edith Shaw 3. Amelia Earhart 4. Wilma Stultz Amelia showed her fearlessness even as a child. She once built a roller coaster on the roof of her family's house. She took flying lessons from the pioneer woman pilot Neta Snook. To pay for her lessons, Amelia drove a gravel truck and worked for the phone company. Before she took her first solo flight, Amelia bought a plane for two thousand dollars and named it Canary. She took part in "air rodeo" shows and, in 1922, set the women's altitude record by reaching fourteen thousand feet. Even though the record was broken weeks later, it helped to build her confidence. One year after Charles Lindbergh's landmark solo flight across the Atlantic, Amelia herself was offered the chance to be the first woman to do what Lindbergh did. The public adored Amelia. She was wholesome-looking and smiled easily. However,according to Neta Snook, Amelia was not a natural pilot. Amelia took many risks. She didn't learn Morse Code or radio telegraphy, and crashed often during takeoffs and landings. Despite this, the public remained intensely interested in all things Amelia. Fred Noonan, an experienced navigator, accompanied Amelia on her solo flight around the world. Neither was heard from again. Amelia had made some mistakes before this flight. She left behind her parachute, wireless antenna, and her life raft. Their destination was Howland Island where she expected to refuel. They never made it. Despite numerous theories of what really happened to the pilots and numerous attempts to locate them, whatever happened to Amelia and her navigator remains a mystery.

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "2. From the time that the working telegraph had commenced operation in England in the late 1830s, mankind began to toy with the idea of eventually linking up countries separated by oceans as well. How was this to be achieved?"

...1. Wire strung from permanently anchored ships 2. Wires linking up various islands 3. Wire strung from buoy to buoy 4. Undersea cables laid on ocean beds Samuel Morse first demonstrated that this could be a distinct possibility, when, in 1842, he sent a message from one side of New York harbour to the other. To do this he insulated the wire with tarred hemp and Indian rubber. Charles Wheatstone, back in England, completed a similar experiment across Swansea Bay the following year. Wire insulated by the adhesive substance obtained from the gutta-percha tree in Asia was then successfully demonstrated by a Scottish surgeon. He had seen this product when he worked overseas and thought the substance would be excellent in the use of surgical instruments. By 1850, trials were held using this excellent new product on underwater lines between Dover and Calais, and then between two towns separated by the Rhine river in Germany. Gutta-percha was not replaced as insulating material for underwater cables until 1930 - with the invention of polyethylene.
