I wonder how many people would have answered the Hamilton question correctly in 2010. Very few would have said "Aaron Burr, sir!"

Actually, quite a few would have gotten it right. They just might have pronounced it "aaawwwon buwwww" while being upset that they just lost a $10,000 radio contest.

I thought it was quite a well known fact about the founding fathers. More famous now sure but no secret before

I think he usually uses past tense in the last round. "Name a purchase that you would need to consult your spouse about before making. You said... a car. Our survey said... 34."

Oh. Those saints. The only thing I could think of was that the song was associated with the Latter Day Saints, so I guessed Salt Lake City.

I think the "Black Belt" could be used for "Bible Belt" as well

Never heard of BLM. Only thing I could think of was USDA, which obviously isn't three letters.

I might have already asked this question elsewhere at some point, but I'm still wondering why NOLA isn't accepted for New Orleans. It's a fairly common nickname/abbreviation and a lot of other cities are shortened on Jetpunk... That being said, I was surprised when the right answer popped with only St. Pete for the Russia/Florida one. :)

I've lived in Nevada most of my life, so the three-letter agency was easier for me to identify than where Miami University is.

Accept Cotton Belt for Bible Belt? It also matches the clue.
