Name a Valid U.S. President #3

Yeah I'm curious on the definition of "leader", because founder of the University of Virginia sounds like a leader to me.

did not expect to see you here! was about to comment the same exact thing!

Even if you use the criterion of "two years = one term," Coolidge is still in the same boat as Johnson.

I typed Coolidge 3 times because I was certain that he chose not to run for another term he was eligible for. This is true. What I learned through follow-up research was that he served a couple years of Harding's term following his death. I knew Harding passed away in office but in spite of reading an entire book on Coolidge in the past, I somehow missed or didn't assimilate the info that he first came into office through the vice-presidency. Glad to learn this new thing today.

Yeah, I got confused why Polk didn't work.

Personally, I love meta-questions like this, and I always look for quizzes full of them. I like the challenge of trying to channel the JetPunk hivemind.

The assumption is that if you're taking this quiz, you're likely someone who is in and around JetPunk a decent bit, and if you are, there is a very high probability you've taken that quiz, so you would have an idea about who the least guessed are. Plus, there's many, many quizzes that do this exact same thing.

I disagree. I think that with sufficient study about US presidents, you would learn which presidents are less notable and are most commonly forgotten about. The reference to JetPunk is really just a way to objectively measure how easily recalled a certain president is.

Anyway, on the Presidential podcast they talked to a guy who surveyed teachers and academics across the country about the least-known president, and I believe the answer was Fillmore. So just put Fillmore.

I mean, it's basically asking "Name one of the ten least-known presidents." The answers are pretty much who you'd expect. Anyone who knows the answers to the other questions knows which presidents are obscure.
