Holy crap, the Louisiana territory was THAT BIG? I'm a non-American that has heard about it plenty of times, but I thought it just referred to the state of Louisiana. No wonder the Louisiana Purchase was such a big deal.

My thoughts precisely. I tried Louisiana on a guess and was surprised when it actually worked.

Yes, it doubled the size of the US at that time. The buildup to it is an interesting read, considering France had just come into possession of the land via Spain, and the US negotiators were authorized only to purchase New Orleans, but jumped at the chance when Napoleon/France offered the entire territory.

Got "Lee" as an accidental byproduct of mistyping "Lennon" with two E's. Whee!

Yes. I figured it was a common name and tried it out. More for the leader than for the author though.

@TheLastFish, I did. And I'm sure I'm not the only one. The movie is quite famous and so is the book. I enjoyed that clue, because it wasn't so on the nose. And the quiz in general is quite interesting too.

Just FYI; I know the author question is supposed to be a bit of a brain teaser however it could also be misleading for people that don't know and on seeing the answer would just assume Harper Lee is a man.

I'd imagine many of us did - I read the book in high school, and the movie is an American classic. There weren't many women named Harper back then, (unlike today) so the author's name was an easy one to remember.

It's a pretty iconic role but one you either know or you don't. Hard to connect the dots if you don't know what you're looking at.

It was a man. Her boyhood friend in miniature town nowhere Alabama was Truman Capote.

From movie to book to author. 2 dots :-) took me 2 seconds, but then I've both read the book and seen the movie.

I really liked this quiz - I knew all the answers.

Accept "Lucitania"? I tried that and didn't even think it would be with an "s". Then wondered what ship it could be.

curious that lincoln and lenin are differently labeled. Both were leaders and presidents.

Nope, he was "Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars of the Soviet Union" and "Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars of the Russian SFSR"

Communist leaders but also others have often titles with little meaning to outsiders, possibly not even officially highest position in the country, that's why "leader" is used in such cases.

Great quiz. One minor typo *Conflagration (not conflagaration)

Conflagration is still misspelled, though I like the misspelling better for some reason

I knew what it was, but I agree, at first glance it looks more like a library than a lighthouse. I've never seen a lighthouse with so many windows.

Just to be clear (for both sides) I hope hou guys realize this isnt a photgraph right ;) it is an artist impression. (And contemporary coins that depicted the lighthouse only had a few windows).

(By contemporary I meant, of the same time as lighthouse, not modern/current. Suddenly realized I might have used the word incorrectly, when "contemporary art" suddenly came to mind. English isnt my mothertongue.)

Without remembering the title, I said to myself I didn't know that Gregory Peck had written enough to be considered an author in addition to an actor. At least it was an easy jump to the answer. It might be an interesting quiz to have famous people who have had success in fields other than what they are most famous for. Something like Gene Hackman and author. Clint Eastwood composer. Bernie Williams musician. Ted Williams fighter pilot.

Exactly! - Knowing that Gregory Peck was known as an actor (whatever other 'sidelines' he may have engaged in, and that the pose is one he assumed in the movie) automatically brings you to the author, Harper Lee.

So I guess I'm the only person who had difficulty with the map. It didn't zoom out so that you could see the continent better. I wasn't sure what I was looking at.

You should allow more spelling for John Lennon. I spelled it L-e-n-i-n and got it wrong.

When they signed the treaty that the border would be on the 49th parallel, it removed the US claim on this territory in exchange for Canadian claims in today's Minesota and North Dakota.

Never seen lacrosse looking like that.

As for the Harper Lee question. The image in from a famous scene from To Kill A Mockingbird (her most famous book) I feel like it's widely known 🤷
