I don't think I've ever seen 100% answer a question (#1) correctly (at time of writing) - at least not with over 300 quiz takers.

Great quiz. NYC comprises five boroughs, not "is comprised of" five boroughs.

I think it's fine. Everyone knows what it means and it's been used for over a hundred years before someone decided its wrong in the 1970s.

Somebody had to comprise it, thus it is comprised.

I didn't specifically remember that Doctor Strange was from New York, but I was damn sure that Black Panther, Superman, and Thor were not! :-)

I guessed that he might be as in the trailer (the only bit I am ever likely to watch) Benedict Cumberbatch was putting on an American accent.

I assumed also that Thor ought to have been from Norway and that Superman was a space alien. Who knows? The sooner all this super hero nonsense goes away, the better.

The AMNH is the actual national monument to Theodore Roosevelt, just like the Kennedy Center is for JFK. I feel like not enough people know that--I didn't until my kid did an intensive seven-year program there and the staff told me. (Not the whole museum, just the TR Memorial Hall and front plaza where the statue used to be.)

Could you do Kolkata (Calcutta)? It’s my home city - quite a large one at that - but often slips by the wayside. (I’d be delighted to help with any questions or such)
