It would have been so easy to look this up and not look foolish, but you go ahead and believe what you want to believe. For the record, invented in 1906 in San Francisco by a Japanese immigrant.

I also tried to put Japan... It is my understanding that they became a thing in the US when the Japanese were put in internment camps during the war and Chinese restaurant owners took over the Japanese restaurants and began using their cookie presses

Every source I look up online says Japan is where fortune cookies originated. Even if there is controversy over the actual origination point, wikipedia articles, where many answers for these quizzes come from, point to Japan, not the US.

"The exact origin of fortune cookies is unclear, though various immigrant groups in California claim to have popularized them in the early 20th century. They most likely originated from cookies made by Japanese immigrants to the United States in the late 19th or early 20th century."

The most popular theory is that they were created in California, by immigrants from Japan. However, it seems that there are so many stories it's hard to sort the facts from the anecdotes.

1×1×1 = 1

2×2×2 = 8

3×3×3 = 16

9 is not a cube number, but a square number (3×3)
