You missed mine from yesterday.
 
Question 3 is discarded due to conflicting information, different sources list different birthdates.
 
For shits and giggles, what was the answer you were looking for? I used Charles Schroeter because he was in the Marines for a time but got his medal while in the army.

Harry Harvey who on the place I found him was listed as July 4th, which looking at it now is most likely a misprint. Wiki has it in February and the MOH records say June 4th and so does his tombstone.
Charles Schroeter was not a Marine when he won his medal. If you look the Army and Navy/Marine medals are different. See here

Wow, that was a killer contest! Thanks AVB for hosing it. Congrats oke&coke your GoogleFu is strong!
 
Q1. How much did Jack and Jill have to drink before they went up the hill?
Q2. How much did they have to drink after they came down the hill?

A. The gill is sometimes spelled jill. There is an explanation of the nursery rhyme:
Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water.
Jack fell down and broke his crown and Jill came tumbling after.
When Charles I scaled down the 'jack' from a 2.5 to a 2 ounce measure so as to collect higher sales taxes, the jill, by definition twice the size of the jack, was automatically reduced also and 'came tumbling after.' Therefore Jack had 2.5oz going up the hill while Jill had 5oz and on the way down Jack had 2oz and Jill had 4. It didn’t last as Parliament changed it back a few years later and had Charles I beheaded.
2 Jacks – 1 gill
5 fluid Imperial ounce = 1 gill
4 gills = 1 pint
Jack-2oz. Jill-4oz

Q3: Discarded

Q4. He was the only man to attain the rank of Field Marshall in a Foreign Service and General in the US Army

A: The cash register on Yellow Submarine was the same one used for Money

Q7. Who are the only people in Springfield known to have a higher IQ than Lisa Simpson?
A: John Frink IQ:197, Jeff Albertson (The Comic Book Guy) IQ:170, Martin Prince IQ:216

Q8. Louis Armstrong’s version of “Hello Dolly” was in the Hot 100 for 22 weeks eventually making it to #1. Who did he bump out of that spot?
A: The Beatles

Q9. Japan is at war with this country.
A: Russia. Because of a dispute over the Kuril Islands Russia has never signed the peace treaty with Japan ending WWII

Q10. The first and only time a mother and daughter competed in the same Olympic sport, in the same event at the same time was in what sport?
A. Golf. In the 1900 Olympic Games Margaret Abbott and her mother Mary Ives Abbott competed with Margaret winning the Gold.
 
Glad you all enjoyed the contest. The last one was solved in about 2 hours so I had to up my game a bit.
 
Wow awesome. That was actually really fun. I never would have gotten cash register if someone hadn't gotten it first. The jack and Jill though was difficult. Ended up having to make an educated guess.

Google fu reveals archery as a second occurarrance???

Also reveals the following about the Simpsons:

The family visits Wickerbottom's Pre-Nursery School, where Apu and Manjula are sending two of their octuplets. Homer and Marge have a talk with Dr. Hibbert about getting in, and decide to have Maggiego in. However, Maggie fails the initial screening because she cannot talk, until Lisa discovers some traits of intelligence. Maggie makes another screening. The results show that not only is Maggie brilliant, but her IQ of 167 is higher than Lisa's IQ of 159. Lisa is no longer considered "the smart one" of the Simpson family.

Will is the winner, because he decyphrred the jack and Jill riddle. Excellent work good sir. That was more than an educated guess.
