Latin is used for numbers (billion, quadrillion, quintillion, etc.), and Greek for chemistry (dihydrogen monoxide) and geometry (pentagon, hexagon, heptagon, etc.), with the odd exception of the 2-dimensional four side "quadrilateral" instead of, say, "tetragon", despite using Greek for the 3-dimensional "tetrahedon" instead of, say, "quadrahedron".
Expecting people knowing the states on an easy quiz is fair game imo (the pennsylvania question), but knowing in which specific states cities are is not. Nor is knowing about someone that people that do not follow that specific sport would have heard of. (that one belongs on a hard quiz, the other two on a normal one)
Also, I met Ricky Ponting when he was the new kid in the team, he signed my brother's rizlas.
If a hypothetical "what sport did Pele play?" question would be considered "easy" then this question should be as well because it's just as "easy" for opposite sections of the world to answer each question.
