The Ferrari question is a bit american-centered. I got it right, but maybe the word american could be added

I'm not exactly sure what you mean. Ferrari comes from the noun "ferraio" which literally means "(black)smith", it's an occupational last name that's the exact analog of the English language last name "Smith".

Also, as written the question could be interpreted as 'what's the third most common name in the US?'

That's how I read it. Smith is the most common last name in the US, so it threw me, but after Williams, Wilson, Jones, and Johnson didn't work, I typed it in. Voila.

So, out of pure desperation I tried "fat" for the very last clue and got the one about the 1% of the Americans instead. :D

St Lucia is the only country that's named after a *real-life* woman. Ireland (known as "Éire" in Irish) is named after the fictional goddess Ériu.

The calories question is a bit misleading since it's not true for any human but presumably for all humans combined. Isn't then a lot also from corn and/or wheat?

Me too!

I feel the calorie question could be worded better as it's not necessarily clear. Maybe something along the lines of, "Over a fifth of the world's total calorie consumption comes from ___"

The Hunt brothers drove the price of silver up to over $50/oz in ~1980. You could sell a silver quarter to a coin dealer/jeweler for $4.50; Franklin or Walking Liberty half dollars would get you $9.00 apiece; and silver dollars started at $22.00, regardless of condition or mintage.

I couldn't get past the Hunt brothers maybe had something to do with ketchup as in Hunt's. I kept trying variations of tomatoes or spices. I would have guessed a long time before I tried silver!

I puzzled for SO long on the 1% / 36% one. I knew it would be obvious when it appeared, but I was guessing things all over the place. If someone wants to do one of those funky sociology experiments where they ask random people to fill in the blanks on this one, it would probably be fascinating.

The Hunt brothers didn't try to buy up all the silver in the world. That's obviously impossible. They bought enough so that they could control the market. Apparently at most they had about one third of the supply not held by governments

Nothing made me feel instantly older than saying "early" movies were measured in footage. Does all my loading cameras and editing on the Steenbeck in the 2000s make me as old as Georges Melies?
