For clarity on the Tennis question - 3 men and 11 women have won more than 20 Grand Slams tennis championships, yet only 1 has 20+ singles titles. Can you please specify that it's singles only :)

I tried "Annapolis" and "Naval Academy" for the Robinson question. I didn't think to try just "Navy".

I eventually wrote "Navy," but that is not the name of the college he attended, it's the institution of which it is a part. At least allow "Naval Academy" as an alternative answer.

100% agree...it is the United States Naval Academy...Naval Academy should be accepted.

Agreed, although if you start to type US Naval Academy, it accepts it after USNA (which is the acronym). But Naval Academy needs to work as well.

Never heard of Walsh or May-Treanor, but I was guessing Mays for one of the baseball questions which gave me May-Treanor. I love freebies.

I got 7, and I'm still thinking that's pretty good, especially since almost half were just lucky guesses!

"What baseball player gained notoriety for the increasing size of his head?"

All I could think of was Ken Griffey Jr. Thanks, The Simpsons.

Lol. Maybe Griffey hooked Bonds up with that nerve tonic.
