So, head off and read it, I’ll wait . . . be sure the read the comments too.
Sooooooo . . . that was fun.
BUT . . . I’ll bet you’ve gotten way harder questions! Tell me in the comments.
I’ll share my hardest reference question. In the pre-Internet era (all the way back to late 1980), I was asked to find a chart of sheep semen prices over a ten year period. That was a difficult one at the time.
