Congratulations to Haschel and Malkon for making it here, you win a Pointless trophy for your efforts! Now it's time to try your hand at the current jackpot of $2,000.
For the final question, your category is...
People Alive in the 1890s.
We gave 100 people 100 seconds to name any of the following.
US Presidents alive at any point during the 1890s
UK Prime ministers alive at any point during the 1890s
Nobel prize for literature winners alive at any point during the 1890s
Please give three answers, keeping in mind that only a pointless answer wins you the jackpot. Rank your answers by how likely you expect them to be pointless.
