Each of the following events happened on September 30. Your challenge is to put them in the order in which they occurred by year, earliest to latest. Answers at the bottom!

• A) The Flintstones premieres on ABC. The show follows the suburban and working-class misadventures of Fred and Wilma Flintstone in the fictional prehistoric town of Bedrock, mirroring mid-20th-century American suburban life.
• B) Louisa May Alcott publishes the first volume of Little Women, a serialized novel that would become an instant success.
• C) The world’s first nuclear submarine, the USS Nautilus, is commissioned by the US Navy. It can remain submerged for almost unlimited periods due to its atomic engine, which needs no air and only a tiny amount of nuclear fuel.
• D) Joseph Marion Hernández becomes the first Hispanic American elected to serve at the highest levels of any of three branches of the US government when he’s elected to Congress.

Hint: People would typically watch The Flintstones at the end of a long day
