The tomb of the Unknown - Interesting Fact's that Everyone should know

This was sent to me in my e-mail inbox and I just wanted to share it with all of you,... The following is a reprint from that e-mail and the Author is unknown,....
On Jeopardy the other night, the final question was "How many steps does the guard take during his walk across the tomb of the unknowns". -- All 3 missed it --


1. How many steps does the guard take during his walk across the tomb of the Unknowns and why ?

21 steps: It alludes to the twenty-one gun salute which is the highest honor given any military or foreign dignitary.
2. How long does he hesitate after his about face to begin his return walk and why ?

21 seconds for the same reason as answer number 1.


3. Why are his gloves wet ?
