Each of the following events happened on September 16. Your challenge is to put them in the order in which they occurred by year, earliest to latest. Answers at the bottom!

• A) The sitcom Frasier—a Cheers spinoff starring Kelsey Grammer—debuts on NBC. It goes on to become one of the most popular American TV shows of its era.
• B) English colonists aboard the Mayflower set sail for America, where they found Plymouth, Massachusetts, the first permanent European settlement in New England.
• C) The death of Jina Mahsa Amini—an Iranian woman in her early 20s—at the hands of Iran's morality police for wearing “improper clothing” ignites a sustained and widespread protest movement, which adopts the slogan “Woman, Life, Freedom.”
• D) General Motors is officially incorporated in New Jersey by Buick Motor Company head William Crapo Durant. Durant, a high-school dropout that had made his fortune building horse-drawn carriages—hated cars; he thought they were noisy, smelly, and dangerous. Ironically, the giant company he builds will dominate the American auto industry for decades.

Austin Allison sold his first company for $120M. He later served as an executive for Zillow. But both companies reached massive valuations before regular people could invest.

“I always wished everyday investors could have shared in their early success,” Allison later said. So he built Pacaso differently.

Pacaso brings co-ownership to the $1.3T vacation home market, earning $110M+ in gross profit in under 5 years. No wonder the same early investors who backed Uber, Venmo, and eBay already invested in Pacaso. 

They even reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO. Now, after adding 10 new international destinations, Pacaso is hitting their stride.

And unlike his previous stops, you can invest in Pacaso as a private company. But you don’t have time to waste.*

The feeling of completing today’s Conjoiner sequence has been compared to the rush of joy that comes after escaping from an apex predator. It’s that en-raptor-ing enrapturing.

The first clue of today’s sequence is: “Dino that hunted the ‘Jurassic Park’ crew, for short”...
