Philadelphia is not a state capital. The state capital of Pennsylvania is Harrisburg. Also, you should accept "JFK" for the first one and just "Melania" for the question about first ladies.

Level 73

+1 for JFK to be accepted as a type-in for Kennedy. It's widely used on this website.

Pakistan left the Commonwealth (in 1972) but rejoined 17 years later. Since the question just says "Members that left the Commonwealth", which it did, I propose that Pakistan is a valid answer. South Africa also left and then returned.

Pretty decent quiz, I have nominated it. Some others could perhaps be considered for the one about major pre-columbian states, such as the Zapotec civilisation, maybe Teotihuacan and the Wari.

Definitely the United Mexican States. Surprised Mexico city wasn't a valid answer.

Good quiz. I was suprised by the first ladies. Since most of the first presidents were foreign-born, I thought the same would surely be true of their wives. However, Louisa Adams was indeed the first and the only one before Melania Trump.

They were born in the territory that became the US. The US just wasn't a country yet.

Martin Van Buren was the first US president to be born in the USA. Just a nice little fact from the early days of America.

Who wanna leave the commonwealth?

Barbados has entered the chat.

Level 84
Jan 24, 2022
Barbados doesn't want to leave the Commonwealth. Wanting to be a republic does not mean wanting to leave a beneficial alliance. I would very much like my country to become a republic and remain in the Commonwealth of Nations.

I interpreted, "Assassinated U.S. Presidents", as "Name someone who assassinated a US president". IMO it should be changed.

or at least put it later in the quiz to make clearer that the hint always explicitly gives the people you're trying to name (monarchs, nations, presidents etc, rather than here "[someone who]..." could be implied)

I would rephrase as 'U.S Presidents who were assassinated'

Why is New York accepted as a state capital but not Albany or Sacramento
+2
Level 67
May 11, 2023
NYC is a former national capital, which is what the question is trying to elicit. Albany and Sacramento are only state capitals. Should the question be re-worded for clarity? That is for the quizmaster to decide.

You should specify that you're referring to Columbus's first voyage, otherwise there are way more acceptable answers.
