No kidding! I love the dawning surprise on tourists' faces when they realize that Walden Pond is a comfortable less-than-two-mile stroll from what is now, and what was also at the time, downtown Concord. His book makes it sound like he was in the remote tundra of Tibet or something.
After I got Kerry and Romney, I started guessing candidates like Mondale (forgot he was from Minnesota) and Jill Stein. Finally got Dukakis after a full 30 seconds
Why must you add acceptable answers that make it so difficult to answer the next question? Example...I was typing in Kennedy and reading the next answer at the same time. Unbeknownst to me, it accepted the answer after just typing Kenned. This left me with an empty box with the letter y already inserted. If you aren't paying attention, which most don't since this is timed, you end up trying correct answers but you never get credit for them because it's now horribly mis-spelled. In my case, it was yMarathon. I knew Marathon was right and it took me some time to figure out that I had the extra y in there because if it doesn't accept the answer, I backspace it out quickly so I can try different answer. Luckily, I tried it again (after skipping it) and it worked.
"If you aren't paying attention, which most don't since this is timed...." I think your assertion is false. I would guess that most people who take a lot of quizzes here aren't typically racing for time and actually pay attention to what they type and if the answers are filling in as they type.
