A preliminary round was held followed by 5 rounds - General Questioning, A Trail of Clues, They Ad-d Up, Buzzer and Long Visual Connect.

This dream . . . became a prominent part of the American psyche only after Sutter's Mill." - H W Brands, Historian.
What is being described in this analysis?

2. There was an attempt at unionizing the workforce of this service (started in 1880) by Mahadeo Havaji Bachche in 1930. According to a recent survey, there service involves only one mistake in 6,000,000, statistically equivalent to a Six Sigma (99.9999) rating. Whom are we talking about?
