Question: Was High Times or National Geographic published first?

Richard Hammond's Engineering Connections is a documentary series originally broadcast on the National Geographic Channel, and later on BBC2.  It is presented by Richard Hammond, and looks at how engineers and designers use historic inventions and clues from the natural world in ingenious ways to develop new buildings and machines.  The show's format is very similar to that of James Burke's 1978 documentary series, "Connections".  The first series premièred on 8 September 2008, on National Geographic, and on 1 March 2010, on BBC2.  The first series contained four episodes.  The second series premièred on 7 September 2009, on National Geographic, and on 8 May 2010, on BBC2.  The second series contained six episodes.  The third series premièred on 8 May 2011, on BBC2 and contained six episodes.  The BBC2 broadcasts of the first two series have a slightly shorter running time and contain less information than the original National Geographic broadcasts, with on average one minute of footage cut from every episode.  None of the three series of the programme are available to purchase on DVD in the UK, however, all three can be watched on demand for subscribers of National Geographic on Sky, Virgin Media and BT Vision.  In Australia, all three series are available on DVD, either separately or as a box-set. <SEP>  It has been published continuously since its first issue in 1888, nine months after the Society itself was founded.

High Times is a New York-based monthly magazine founded in 1974 by Tom Forçade. <SEP> The National Geographic World Championship (previously called the International Geography Olympiad, which is now the title of another similar competition for older schoolchildren) is a biennial, two-day-long international geography competition typically held in late July or early August.  The Championship was first held in 1993, and is sponsored by the National Geographic Society.  Teams of three students plus one alternate are selected from among those who finished highest in their respective countries' national competitions (e.g. the National Geographic Bee in the U.S.A., the Olimpíada Geográfica Argentina in Argentina or the Australian Geography Competition in Australia).  On the first day of competition, these teams take a written test on which all members confer and work together, then take part in a team geography skills-testing activity, such as using a map to find specified locations in unfamiliar surroundings.  The scores from these two events are tallied, and the top three teams advance to the final round on the second day.  The final round consists of questions primarily in the style of the National Geographic Bee, as a moderator (since 1993, Alex Trebek) reads questions to one team or one individual at a time.  These questions may also involve the use of visual aids such as maps or photographs.  Members of the top three teams receive bronze, silver, or gold medals for finishing third, second, or first, respectively.
