Okay, here I'm blank. Maybe @Olympian1010 could help me here (if he's here?) If here is not here, I will use the switch. But let's hear if he is here now.

Doesn't seem to be online this instant but we can wait ~5 minutes to see if he shows up.

Nah, he isn't here. I guess you want to switch then?

Yes, I would like to use switch.

Okay.

Would have been the Cardinals. The term goes back to factories that turned coal into gas.

@Wumo

Your substitute question is this one:

 

 

 

 

Pts. 64,000

In 1968, what was the first Grand Slam to allow professionals to compete, marking the beginning of the Open Era in tennis?
♦ A: Australian Open	♦ B: French Open
♦ C: Wimbledon Championships	♦ D: US Open

I'm leaning between Australian Open or French Open. I don't remember exactly if the Open Era was already introduced during Australian Open (of course not called that before the Open Era started). I would like to save a lifeline for later, so I'm taking a guess and going to say that French Open was the first, as I think the Open Era was first officially introduced later during the season. B: French Open, is my answer.
