9. Who was the first person to fly across the Atlantic Ocean? Charles Lindbergh (non-stop)
10. Without roosters and human assistance, can hens lay eggs? If they can cross the road. ????

#3. Cleopatra wasn't Egyptian.
#9. Lindbergh was the 67th person to fly nonstop across the Atlantic.
#10. LOL

Outstanding work on all the others, TJ. BTW, I saw a trivia Web site that claimed the camel's hair brush was invented by a Mr. Camel. Then a local radio station picked up on it and used it in a trivia quiz. Mr. Camel??? Yeah, right. And Mr. Ham invented the ham radio.

3. Macedonian (although she was born in Alexandria, Egypt)
9. Col Joe Kittinger Jr. (in a helium balloon)
Amelia Earhart (first woman to cross the Atlantic solo)
Charles Lindbergh, Jr. (First person to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean)
10. No, you do not need a rooster for a hen to lay an egg. It's often believed that chickens (hens) lay more eggs if they are NOT ever introduced to a rooster. It is also said that her laying pattern is more consistant if she is not ever introduced to a rooster.

All correct except #9. When did someone first fly across the Atlantic?

BTW, good job on #10. Of course, hens can lay eggs on their own. They just won't be fertilized with a chick embryo inside.

9 John Alcock 1919?

Lieutenant-Commander A.C. Read and his crew were the first to fly across the Atlantic Ocean, with several stops, in the Curtiss Flying Boat in 1919.
