I definitely did not try "not die" as an answer for the pope question...

The cadence is wrong. The popular misquotation "but not a drop to drink" is accepted however.

I looked up "Tallest US statues" in Wikipedia, and it lists one higher than the State of Liberty, called Birth of the New World, in Puerto Rico. I re-read the question and it is carefully worded to exclude that one! I'm surprised that that tallest statue is almost unheard of.

That's interesting. I was wondering why the "50 states" are mentioned as well.

Someone please explain how Chicago and Mexico City are in the same time zone? I have looked and Mexico City is an hour behind Chicago? As I type this (from the UK), Chicago time is 3.29am on Mon 11th March 2019 and Mexico City is 2.29am...

They're in the same time zone. Chicago changed to summer/daylight time yesterday (March 10) and Mexico City does so on April 7.

Maybe, and this is only a speculation, this is because of the change to daylight savings time. If the USA already did it and Mexico still hasn't they now have 1 hour difference.

Couldn't come up with that exact word for the pope question. I tried step back and quit. :D Step back is what we say in Germany if you translate it literally.

I put in "and ne're a drop to drink" couldn't understand why it didn't accept it so put in "and all the boards did shrink" and it filled in the right answer for me!

How about Aphrodite as answer for the parent of Phobos and Deimos? 'Actress' is increasingly passé after all, perhaps we can call Aphrodite and her sisters gods too. Blaze the trail QM!

When I was taking biology in high school, my father noticed the picture of a humuhumunukunukuapua’a in my textbook; he immediately launched into "I wanna go back to my little grass shack in Kealakekua Hawaii, where the humuhumunukunukuapua’a goes swimming by." Happy memories.
