I get the argument that a person can be "from" multiple places or somewhere other than were they were born, but "originally from" certainly implies they were born there. Wiz Khalifa is "originally from" Minot, ND and lived several other places prior to moving to Pittsburgh. Remove the word "originally" from the clue...

I know this is the most pedantic of all pedant corrections, but "Oscar-Meyer" should be "Oscar Mayer".

Since the rapper one was pretty low, the other answers are Queens, Long Beach and Compton respectively

Can you elaborate? Because I was wondering the same. Figured a few hours on google maps would get you this number as well, so I went for the factories. Never been to Pittsburg haha

I have been to Pittsburgh many times. Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of bridges crossing the rivers, but not anywhere near 446. Just look at Google Maps. I wonder what they used as criteria for a bridge...

They're probably not only counting ones that cross rivers.

I mean, crossing the big three? Definitely not. But there's a lot of smaller rivers & streams, not to mention all of the bridges that aren't crossing water but rather spanning hills or going over train tracks.

You have to establish criteria and figure out edge cases, etc. you can't include every culvert, but what about a 15' span over a tiny stream? What about foot bridges? What about bridges that still exist but are not currently in use? What about railroad bridges? What about highway overpasses and interchanges?

It's not just about crossing rivers. It's the whole landscape of hills and valleys that necessitates bridge building.

I love the idea that there would be a 2006 study that researched how many Nobel Prize winners were from Pittsburgh and the Quizmaster would now decide to use this info on a 2020s quiz :D
