Okay Prof, you're right on the first one if you are talking about after the
decisive Battle of Hastings.  Harold Godwinson, or Harold II, was the
defeated King, having been in power for less than one year.

Archaeopteryx had feathers, a physical attribute belonging only to birds.  He
also had dentition, which birds do not have now.  I'm stumped on the number
of heart chambers, I have to tell you.  Avian and reptilian species do share
a common ancestry though, and still have some shared physical traits.

Right on three -- youdeman!
