Final Friday Blog Trivia... short and sweet.

With tears welling up in my eyes, I bring you the Final Friday Blog Trivia!!! Woo Hoo!... oops, I mean boo-hoo-hoo! Like I promised, this one will be shorter and much less taxing on the brain. Four of today's five questions are simple addition problems. You will have to do a little research to find what numbers to add, but I assure you, the answers will be easy to come by. So easy, that I've thrown in a question (the final Blog Trivia question) regarding something that I just saw on the Discovery Channel that I found to be pretty amazing! Anyways, the first person to answer all 5 questions correctly will win the highly collectible Final Friday Blog Trivia Certificate!

Good luck... here are the questions:
1. Find the sum of the ages of the living former US vice presidents.

2. Add all of the ages of the living former US presidents.

3. The biggest things since Britney Spears, add all of the ages of the Jonas Brothers (whose last name is Jonas, and is a performing member of this group.).

4. Add the number of vowels in "Michelle Obama" and "Cindy McCain" (do not include their middle names).

5. Where can you find a 700+ ton "tuned mass damper"?

I would like to amend my answer to # 5

Met Life insurance tower is 728 ton
but Tapei 101 is 730 tons

My answer then is Tapei 101.

All others remain the same
