And they're off

One of the gifts I received last Christmas, from my friend Cal and his wife Lucia, was this ESPN day calendar of sports trivia.

On this the 198th day of the year, the question was...

With a career that spanned five centuries, who is often referred to as the "greatest race car driver of all time"?

If you said Methuselah or Ben-Hur, you'd be wrong.

The answer they were looking for is Mario Andretti.

It appears they were going for five DECADES, not centuries, and the scientific community is united in that fact.
