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

• A) The Space Shuttle Discovery takes off carrying the Hubble Space Telescope, which is deployed the next day. Hubble was only expected to remain in operation for 15 years, but remains operational for 30+ years.
• B) On Easter Monday in Dublin, a secret organization of Irish nationalists launches the so-called Easter Rising, an armed uprising against British rule. It’s considered a significant marker on the road to establishing an independent Irish republic.
• C) President John Adams approves legislation setting aside $5,000 to purchase “such books as may be necessary for the use of Congress,” officially establishing the Library of Congress.
• D) The website WikiLeaks begins releasing classified US documents detailing the treatment of prisoners at the Guantánamo Bay detention camp in Cuba, in collaboration with several media organizations.

Lifeguard solves this by removing your data from those lists and cutting off access from the start. It filters spam texts, screens calls before they reach you, and flags phishing emails with clear risk signals so you know what to ignore.

Don’t let today’s conjoiner pull you in. Push back against the pull to solve the puzzle.

We’re now on the cusp of another paradigm shift and transfer of wealth, and three Nobel Prize winners have already sounded the alarm. McKinsey has estimated it could be worth $25 trillion annually.

But unlike 1776, this isn’t going to play out over decades. And the aftershock could reset not just your personal wealth, but the entire U.S. economic system.
