    Where was James Joyce's wife born?

    No. Buchanan was Donegal. Furthermore per OP the question should follow the previousnone. I don't believe this one does.

    P.S. OK, I'll take Tyrone for Buchanan, though it seems to be controversial.

    Not quite, but the question must be related to the previous question or answer. This one isn't.

    You are right. I am going to guess it is the long jump by Bob Beamon as his World record stood for a very long time and I am not sure if it has been bettered in the Olympics since he notched it in the Mexico games.
