"union of soviet sov. reps"
soviet soviet republics?

Sovereign, probably.

Most likely a typo. on the QWERTY keyboard, it is easy to do that. He may have meant to put "Union of Soviet Soc. Republics."

Here is a picture of the C and V keys on a qwerty keyboard, just in case you didn't believe me.

Weird. I’ve never seen them represented like that on this scale before. The requirement to have a border around them makes them stand out more than they otherwise would, I imagine.

I'm using the quarter-BAM as a base, which explains the whole lake issue.

The largest vessel ever to float at 800 feet long, displacing 45,000 tons, and declared unsinkable by all who had seen her was gliding through the water with roughly 2,500 peacefully sleeping passengers. Then, suddenly it struck an iceberg on its starboard side while moving at 25 knots. The ship was 400 nautical miles from Newfoundland. The ship sank quickly, and due to an insufficient amount of lifeboats, it took a majority of its passengers with it.” This is a quote from a book called "The Wreck of the Titan: Or, Futility." When was it printed?

38 minutes — Anglo-Zanzibar War of 1896.

7] Which is the oldest?

• The University of Oxford
• The Aztec Empire
• The United States of America

Oxford, founded in the 11th(?) century. The Aztec Empire (or the Triple Alliance) arose in the 1400s, while the United States formed in the latter half of the 18th century.

8] Which is the oldest?

Depends on the definition and how far you can stretch each object. There's the controversial Baghdad batteries, but they've been disputed as not-batteries. I'm wagering "20-sided dice", as they're the easiest to create.

9] American women were given the right to vote in 1920. When was the first woman elected to Congress?

Sometime in the latter half of the 19th century.

10] In 1998, 1,200 bones from ten human bodies were found in the basement of whose London house. The resident was more commonly associated with Philadelphia, Pennsylvania?

Hm? Edit: Nevermind, I got the question. No clue.
