Lions Fifty Fifty Quiz E/d Jan 2020

[CHRISSIE4]

All answers have a connection of the number, people, companies or events that are 50. I have 2 answers the same so I know I must have one incorrect.
41, San Francisco’s Ocean Avenue opening *3 letters* I know Gap opened there in 1969. 96, first appearance in the Big Apple *3 letters* (last letter of big is g and first two of Apple is ap which again is Gap). Any ideas or clues.
Also any clues for 90, convicted of killing a man with a dream *5,4,3*
Many thanks in advance

90 killed Martin Luther King

[CHRISSIE4]

Many thanks cashier, would not have managed to solve that one.

41 Must be gap. The clothing firm of that name started in 1969.

[CHRISSIE4]

Yes Cashier I thought a Gap fitted better for question 41, so it must be 96, first appearance in the Big Apple that I have got wrong. Hopefully someone will have a clue to help me along. Thank you again.

96 ATM ?

Emeritus many thanks for your answer. Very helpful

96 is QE2

[CHRISSIE4]

Poodle2019 thank you I have googled it and sounds good to me

That's strange because question number 41 which reads san franciscos ocean avenue opening.3 letters I have the answer gap and for question 96 first appearance in the big apple 3 letters I have ATM.i have noticed people saying gap and atm and also QE2 for number 96 so now I am really stuck on what one to put down as they all seem right.

[Poodle2019]

I agree 96 could be atm or qe2. I think if they get a mixture of both answers they will accept it that's what they did last year

Q41 The best answer I came up with for this one is LEE. It is a street that Ocean Avenue opens into or vice versa.

[fiction-factory]

there needs to be a link to the theme of 50 though, wordyone

[wordyone]

Looking at this again, it would appear that I will not be one of the winners! GAP seems to be the correct answer to Q41 but for some reason it never appeared in my original searches. And therefore Q96 I would guess is ATM (rather than QE2 - once again my searches did not throw up any mention of the QE2). Perhaps I need a new computer! I omitted to remember the number 50 when I stumbled across LEE as my answer to Q41. Thanks fiction-factory for reminding me.
