I get Cleveland as a major midwestern city, but I'd argue that Lincoln also is a pretty major midwestern city. I'd possibly consider a change to that one.

Agreed. Tried Lincoln, Madison, and Jefferson City before realizing Ohio is technically at the very edge of the midwest. Maybe tighter phrasing like "major city in Ohio" or "major city on Lake Erie"

Not sure about Jefferson, but Madison should definitely work for that question. Nearly a million people in the metro area.

I know the grammar makes "Cleveland" the only right answer, but Madison is also a city (whether it's "major" depends on the beholder, I think) in the Great Lakes Region. Having lived in that region for over a decade now, I sometimes hear people just call the whole region "Great Lakes." More significant than that, there's got to be something more notable about Grover Cleveland than that he happens to share his last name with a city named after a totally different guy. First to marry in the White House itself? First post-Civil War Democrat president? Dawes Act? Tried to restore power to the Hawaiian queen? I don't know. But all the other clues are about the president himself and something he did or that happened to him. They're educational. The Cleveland clue seems very out of place.

I appreciate your enthusiasm about America's 22nd and 24th president. I was actually recently involved in a table read for a new musical about his life, and I'm super excited about it! I hope it gets big some day!

Wow. Things were so much less polarized back then.

Changed to "every state except Minnesota".

How cute, you think the guy who committed federal crimes in order to get re-elected meant it was less polarized.

Several presidents since him have also committed federal crimes, to the point that we don't even care as a nation any more. He also wasn't the first.

The fact that Chester A. Arthur is at 42% says something about the early quiz-takers.

If you have enough time, it's easy to guess. There are only 40 possible answers, and if you assume that no answer appears twice on the quiz, it narrows the choices even further.

I'm not arguing the answer should be changed, but while Thomas Jefferson was president when the Louisiana Purchase was made, he didn't actually make the purchase. He sent James Monroe and another representative to France to purchase New Orleans, and a shocked Monroe agreed to purchase the entire Louisiana Territory (without authorization from Jefferson) when it was offered. Also, James Madison helped persuade congress to ratify the purchase.

Celebrating General Harrison as the "Hero of Tippecanoe" is not completely unlike calling General Reginald Dyer the "Hero of Amritsar"

Tecumseh, now there was a hero...

That's what they called him back then, and I think dying early in office made it a little easier to garner respect. Not like there weren't people to honor native americans (just look at JQA) but still.

Also, Tecumseh 'cursed' the presidents, so he at least got a taste of his own medicine ;)

Love this series, but can we get a question about Ben Franklin soon? He is our first and greatest president, he needs to be recognized for his inventions of freedom and electricity!
