'Nightclub revues had been a mainstay in Parisian culture since the late 19th century. After World War I, they began influencing other cities with their sophisticated and cosmopolitan displays. The nightclub spectaculars eventually reached the United States via New York. It wasn't long before they became a welcome and permanent addition to Las Vegas entertainment.'

'Early surveyors of the unexplored centre and west of Australia, fanning out from the earlier settled east, kept on the lookout for Australia’s Amazon, or at least a large body of water, possibly connected to the outside ocean.'
'In 1827, former East India Company officer Thomas J. Maslen published this map of that inland sea in his book The Friend of Australia, which provided instructions for surveying and exploring the island-continent’s interior.'

Motel Americana.
'This page is designed to celebrate an American phenomenon which reflects an important part of US history and culture: the motel. The word showed up in dictionaries as postwar optimism and cold war pessimism led to the creation of an highway system. Before long, families began to discover bright neon arrows pointing the way to temporary homes dotting those long stretches of tar. Motels offered an inexpensive way to travel the country and expand our horizons. '

H.G. Wells's novel 'The First Men in the Moon' features intelligent insect-like beings who live in caverns below the surface.

The Moon's diameter is 2160 miles. How many miles long is one lunar?

Louisiana: European Explorations and the Louisiana Purchase.
'The Louisiana Purchase is a landmark event in American history, one that had a lasting impact not only on the size of the United States, but also on its economic, cultural, and political makeup. Before President Thomas Jefferson's administration purchased the territory in 1803, parts or all of the territory had been under the control of various Native American nations. From the 16th century onwards the Spanish and later the French controlled the territory. '

American Civil War Envelopes.
'Civil War Covers are envelopes printed during or subsequent to the War that depict various scenes and themes. Many are of a patriotic nature. Some portray major figures of the War such as Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis, and others carry illustrated messages such as "Death to Traitors" and "Trees-on, A Hard Road to Travel." The Covers were used to send U.S. Mail, or simply as souvenirs. '

'...In their description of this map, the sellers add: "During the late 16th century, a few map makers created these now highly prized map images, wherein countries and continents were given human or animal forms. Among the earliest examples is this map of Europa by Munster, which appeared in Munster’s Cosmography." '
'Really, Miss Henderson!'
'There´s a certain type of children´s literature that just positively requires a map at the end paper of the book. The map is there either to show an itinerary that is crucial to the story, or to enhance the ´piratesque´quality of the work - or both. This map is an example from a children´s book called ´Really, Miss Henderson´ from 1945. As you can see, the War had cost the lives of many, many good illustrators (unless this was an active attempt at creating a ´naive´-style map). '

Using arithmetic operations, express the integers from 31 to 50.
You are allowed the standard arithmetic operations, including +, -, *, /, and square root (e.g. sqrt(4)).
The following operations may be useful :
Concatenation. 44 is valid as part of an answer.
Decimals. 4.4 is valid as part of an answer; so is .4 .
Recurring decimals. E.g. .4r (or .4recurring) is the same as .444... (or 4/9) .
Factorials. The factorial of a positive integer (written as n!) is the product of all the positive integers less than or equal to that number. E.g. 4! = 4*3*2*1 = 24.
Double factorials. The double factorial of an even positive integer (written as n!!) is the product of all the positive even integers less than or equal to that number. The double factorial of an odd positive integer is the product of all the positive odd integers less than or equal to that number. E.g. 4!! = 4 * 2 = 8, and 5!! = 5 * 3 * 1 = 15.
Powers. 4^4 means 4 to the power of 4, and 4^sqrt(4) means 4 squared (or 16). You don't actually need these for these numbers, but you can use them if you like.
Don't use operations like cube roots and inverses (e.g. 1/4). The reason for this is that in normal notation, these use numbers other than 4.
The following may be useful to remember :
n = sqrt(n) * sqrt(n), n being any number
0 = n-n
1 = n/n (unless n is 0)
2 = (n+n)/n
3 = (n+n+n)/n
10 = 4/.4
5 = sqrt(4)/.4
9 = 4/.4r
3 = sqrt(4/.4r)

Using arithmetic combinations of four 5's express the integers from 1 to 12.
You must use all four 5's for each integer.
You may combine the 5's using the arithmetic operations +, -, * (multiplication) and / (division).
You are also allowed to use sqrt (square root) (e.g. sqrt(5) ).
You are allowed to use concatenation (e.g. 55 is valid as part of an answer).
You are allowed to use decimals (e.g. 5.5 is valid as part of an answer; so is .5 ).
You are allowed to use factorials. For example, 5! (or factorial(5)) = 5*4*3*2*1 = 120.
(The factorial of an integer x! is the product of all the positive integers less than or equal to x).
You do not need to use anything other than those operations listed above - so no powers of 3, trig operations, logarithms, cube/quartic roots, etc.

Unsealed: The Art of the Bottle Cap.
'Bottle-cap art, long a poor cousin to tramp art, quilting and other established folk crafts, is finally achieving a measure of collectable respectability. Though still a scavenger art whose modest aspirations, rough edges and obscure origins baffle the uninitiated, it is no longer strictly a sideshow inspiring only hard- core aficionados. '
Using arithmetic combinations of four 3's express the integers from 1 to 15.
You must use all four 3's for each integer.
You may combine the 3's using the arithmetic operations +,-,* (multiplication), and / (division).
You are also allowed to use sqrt (square root) (e.g. sqrt(3) ).
You are allowed to used concatenation (e.g. 33 is valid as part of an answer).
You are allowed to use factorials. For example, 3! (or factorial(3)) = 3*2*1 = 6. (The factorial of an integer x! is the product of all the positive integers less than or equal to x).
You do not need to use anything other than those listed above - so no decimal places, powers of 3, trig operations, logarithms, cube/quartic/etc. roots, etc.

The Territory acquired from France by this purchase embraced all the land lying between the Mississippi River and the crest of the Rocky Mountains, and its ownership by the United States made possible the extension of the nation's boundries to the Pacific Ocean. No centennial was ever so grandly celebrated, for this Exposition was without a peer in history, and a visit within its gates was an event to be always remembered with pleasure and satisfaction by young and old alike.'
