0 Guest Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Every president that was ever elected in a year ending in zero died in office or was killed. Failed attempt with Reagan and stopped with Bush elected in 2000. The Curse? I would say... certainly plausible "Tecumseh's Curse" or the Zero Year Presidential Curse?

Question
Guest
1. Long, long ago a struggle was fought
The year ended is just above aught
The name can be one made of a clue
But "fall and float" is all given you.
2. The time is decaded, inverse arithmetic
With only of a couple, not very poetic.
3. Maximum value of principal- applies
For who fought this spoke no lies.
Effect afflicted much evil to befall
A source invoked, for a long haul.
4. 7477 to 7697 taking place; seven it dropped
For the next, tryed and missed and stopped.
5. Each above a clue to the riddle I write.
I happened just like that, or only a trite;
History never fail, or a myth brought to light.
