It's odd that this quiz accepts alternative spellings without the double A for some answers but not others. For example, I got Alderaan but typing "Alderan". But I didn't get Sint Maarten but typing the English name Saint Marten.

I think there is list of allowed alternate spellings which applies to the whole site so if there is an alternative which has been stored on it previously then it will be allowed in this quiz too. Maybe...

Alos, Saint Martin and Sint Maarten are different territories on the same island

I know that when you make a quiz, a list of previous alternative answers/ spellings show up. So, my guess is that if someone else has made a quiz with alternate spellings, then those will be included when other people make a quiz with the same answer. Just a guess, but I have noticed that as anecdotal evidence.

Too bad the quiz is specifically "double A's" and not "multiple A's," otherwise you could have included "Captain Kirk's archnemesis." ;)

As someone not from the USA, is it not really crude to call Harlem an "African-American neighbourhood".

Like anyone can live there right? There must be a mix of black, white, and anything else? Calling somewhere a black neighbourhood is the kind of thing racists say, because the neighbourhood cannot have race, but it can have a lot of black people living there. Crucial difference in how we view people imo.

No, it is generally not considered politically incorrect to say a particular neighborhood is a Black neighborhood or an Italian neighborhood or whatever else. It is true that racism often plays a large part in how these neighborhoods became so racially/ethnically homogeneous and why they have stayed so homogeneous, but to point out their relative homogeneity isn't typically considered problematic. That said, you will sometimes hear people say "historically Black" or "predominantly Black" instead.

You are correct that non-Black people can and do live in Harlem, although it remains mostly Black.

I stand corrected - as of 2021, Harlem is only 44% Black. Still a large plurality, but not a majority. It might be more appropriate to use "historically Black" for this reason.

Harlem has always been more than just an African-American neighborhood. At the beginning of the 20th Century it had a large Italian immigrant community in what was called "Italian Harlem" by some; that neighborhood gave us both some of the earliest Italian-American gangsters, such as Ciro "The Artichoke King" Terranova, as well as Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia.

That neighborhood was renamed "Spanish Harlem" as more Puerto Rican migrants moved there. There's a song by that name that both Ben E. King and Aretha recorded.

But Harlem is, first and foremost, an African-American stronghold. It gave us the Harlem Renaissance, the Cotton Club, the Savoy and the Apollo, Malcolm X, Sugar Hill and a song I heard many years ago "Harlem Must Be Heaven (Because New York Is Living Hell)." There's nothing crude in calling it an African-American neighborhood--it was a point of pride. Check out "Drop Me Off In Harlem" by Duke Ellington, written in the 1930s, or "Take The A Train" by Billy Strayhorn.

"Take The A Train" was, in fact, the direction that Ellington gave Strayhorn to tell him how to get to Duke's home in Sugar Hill in Harlem. Strayhorn turned it into a tune that Ellington used as his orchestra's theme for the rest of his life. Check out Ella's version of both "A Train" and "Drop Me Off In Harlem."

In fact Sinterklaas (Santa Claus) and Kerstman ("Christmasman") exist next to eachother. Although they are based around the same person they are two completely different holidays.

I don't think I've ever called out cheating before but I - a trivia, history and geography nerd - got 19/20 easily and refuse to believe 20% of people were aware of the Filipino province of 'Bataan', unless it's a key part of the US mandatory history curriculum or something.

The Bataan Death March is a sufficiently significant part of WWII history that 20% doesn't seem high to me. I'm not particularly a military history nerd and I got that question without cheating.

Could you accept Aldoraan as an alternative spelling for Alderaan. I feel like that's a pretty close spelling if you aren't a big fan and can only remember the name of the fictional planet.
