Fund Raising Auction
Trivia
Trivia brain teasers have some element of trivia in them, but they are not just pure trivia questions.Trivia
"We're having a fund raising auction. Is there anything worth buying?" Ms. Truth asked.
Troy looked down his list. "Most items are overpriced or not worth buying. The items to buy would be a wig that King Henry wore, a letter from the Duke of Walishington to Queen Elizabeth I and an old English letter written by King George II."
Ms. Truth looked disgustedly at Troy and told him he was a fraud. How did she know?

Hint
Numbers and language. Do you know your history?Answer
King George II lived in France. He didn't know English.Queen Elizabeth I didn`t exist when the letter was written. The Queen's name was Queen Elizabeth, because there hadn't been another Queen Elizabeth before her.
The wig may have been real, but Ms. Truth no longer believed him.

Ok, it would be Queen Elizabeth I because it is Troy who is talking about the letter, and people in the present time refer to her as Queen Elizabeth 1 to clarify which one they are talking about.
What's wrong with the wig then? And who's the Duke of Walashington?
so where is the question???

That was a bit hard, you have to just assume (w/o research and w/o bing a total know-it-all) that the guy got his facts wrong.
Good one, got me stumped but good fun nevertheless.

Too hard for me.
