Non-American here and I got 18/20 first time, one because you had to add america to an answer to get it and the designated hitter one.

American here and I only scored 16/20. Missed the actress and TV show, never heard of Green Day or their song, and even though I should have known the Cold War answer, I didn't. I first thought of Radio Free Europe because of all the TV ads for them, but it didn't have America in the name. I don't remember ever hearing about VOA during the Cold War.

I got the designated hitter one, even though I still don't even understand the question, by starting to type "ale" (thinking amber waves of grain was a reference to beer) and "al" was accepted! Thank you!

@Cardinalsin, Major League Baseball has two conferences: the American League (AL) and National League (NL). In the NL (until this year, when they changed the rule), pitchers take at-bats, but pitchers do not practice hitting because their value lies in a totally different and unrelated skill, so they're generally terrible at batting, and are close to an automatic out when they do bat. To address this, the AL instituted the designated hitter ("DH") -- a player who does not play the field, but bats in the pitcher's place, so that there is more offensive consistency in the lineup.

American here and I only got 4/20. Maybe it's just because I'm a clueless idiot but I do better on the non-American quizzes...

It is easier to cut in half than to make 10 equal parts. You know then you have to decide in what way.

Our daughters once told their younger brother he was the .5 child of the family which is why he was a half-wit.

If we are going to be hyper-technical, XVIII was repealed by XXI so it is not currently an Amendment.

Since we're being technical, XVIII is still an amendment, just no longer in effect. Meanwhile the Equal Rights Amendment is in limbo.

A bit disappointing that no one got my joke, but this was a reference to that story from the Bible where Solomon suggested cutting a baby in half. Wikipedia article:

I feel like American Apparel (who always had the same young target audience as America Eagle) has (had?) more name recognition, but primarily for Dov Charney’s obnoxious antics in the news than for the clothes themselves. They did have great ads once upon a time, plus nothing says “American casual fashion” like having your CEO meandering around the workplace nonchalantly with his junk hanging out.

It probably depends when you were young (or when your kids were young). I was a teenager in the early 2000's, and *everyone* wore American Eagle. I'd never even heard of American Apparel, which I took took off about ten years later.

The designated hitter rule is coming to the National League. That clue may need to be updated.

60% know about some yacht race, and only 20% know about one of our most important trees and one of the worst conservation disasters in modern US history… bleak stuff.

You think that's bleak? Florida orange production is down more than 90% in the last 20 years because of a different blight. 💀

There's a fairly plausible conspiracy theory that China is responsible. True or not, imagine what would happen if people deliberately introduced a fungal or bacterial blight into a major staple crop like wheat, corn, or rice.
