Each of the following events happened on February 24. Your challenge is to put them in the order in which they occurred by year, earliest to latest. Answers at the bottom!

• A) Pope Gregory XIII introduces a new “Gregorian” calendar based on a 365-day common year divided into 12 months of different lengths. His change overrides the Julian calendar, which had been the standard since 46 BCE.
• B) The House of Representatives votes to convict President Andrew Johnson on 11 articles of impeachment, making him the first president to be impeached in US history.
• C) US-led coalition forces launch a ground invasion of Kuwait after Iraq invaded and seized the country. By the end of the day, Iraq’s army has effectively folded, while Kuwait is liberated after just four days.
• D) Supreme Court decides the landmark case of William Marbury v. James Madison, which confirms the legal principle of judicial review—or SCOTUS’ ability to limit Congress by declaring legislation unconstitutional—in America.

If you are opening your eyes already exhausted or reaching for caffeine immediately, the issue might be quality of sleep rather than your bedtime routine. Nature’s Craft Sleeplex is melatonin-free and built around a highly absorbable brain-specific form of magnesium designed to support deeper, steadier rest.

Not to knock you out, but to help you wake up clear, balanced, and mentally sharper. Because sleep is supposed to restore you, not just sedate you.

There’s a method to the madness in today’s Conjoiner. Can you spot the trend and solve the puzzle?

The first clue of today’s sequence is: “Consistent sequence that occurs regularly”...
