The anticipation of having to constanly press refresh waiting for the next ? may give me a heart attack. I was actually starting to hold my breath lol

AmazonV with her quick fingers, pulled out the first one. Remember, the questions will get harder as we go.

Here comes the next question…

Don’t worry about your spelling too much, as long as I know what you meant, you will get the point.

Question 2:

This Chinese ruler was said to have discovered tea 5000 years ago, when a leaf from a tree fell from the sky and landed in a pot of water which was boiling, what was his name?

AmazonV said 2010-05-30 19:44:32 -0400

Chinese emperor and inventor Shennong

Daniel Mann - Georgia Tea Co. said 2010-05-30 19:45:48 -0400

Right, in 2737, Shen Nung was said to have discovered it. That was good for 5 more tea samples. Is everyone else having trouble getting the questions in time?
