I'm pretty sure that's the sample sentence given for "brag" in the dictionary.

Awesome quiz. Needs to add LA Rams to the football teams section. :-)

Kept typing Rams until I realized this quiz was posted before they moved.

Former Californian, I was so sure MGM was one of the 6 studios I tried to break it down into Metro Goldwin Mayer. And having just now looked it up it seems to have been acquired by Fox.

I've never been west of the Hudson when visiting US, so happy with 55%.
+4
Level 71
Jan 24, 2017
Haha the Hudson isn't something that immediately comes to mind when considering a "boundary water," but I guess if you've only been to New England/NYC, it makes sense.
+2
Level 73
Feb 8, 2017
Well, you could go from NYC to Jersey City without ever crossing the Hudson, Champlain Canal or St Lawrence, it's just a bit longer.

A very refreshing quiz, it's just that having to know 16 sports teams for one quiz is asking a lot from a non-American.
+1
Level 85
Dec 26, 2021
It's a lot for an American too. But that's what makes the quiz challenging.

It's the Big 5 Movie Studios now that Disney owns Fox.
+2
Level 75
Jan 23, 2020
Or change it to "20th Century Studios"
+4
Level 90
Jan 24, 2020
Nope, it's a wholly owned subsidiary of Disney now. That would be like listing Sony and Columbia separately. I'd recommend either deleting Fox and changing the category title to "Big 5 Movie Studios" or replacing Fox with Lionsgate (because Paramount's inclusion in the group is mostly honorary at this point - their market share has been below 10% for the past 8 years straight and is regularly eclipsed by Lionsgate).
+3
Level 87
Jan 26, 2020
Either way, the word "Fox" does not belong in any answer in this category.
+2

Something strange with the type-ins where you can answer Los Angeles and get the city and the county, but miss the campus.
+2
Level ∞
Jan 24, 2020
Looks like we had a slightly more permissive type-in for the city and county. This has been fixed. Spelling it correctly (or nearly so) would have filled in all boxes.

Not having a UC campus in Eureka is a lost opportunity.

Well theres a Cal Poly campus up around there in Humboldt already so

20th Century Fox is owned by Disney now. Should it still qualify?
+3
Level 88
Apr 25, 2020
Needs to be updated as it is now the 'Big 5' movie studios after Disney bought Fox's movie production divisions.
