I was trying, Chicago, Miami, Houston, Seattle etc

Makes sense though, if I was homeless I rather live somewhere warm than somewhere cold.

Nah. If you were homeless, you'd rather live somewhere where they throw money and entitlements at you, and refrain from harassing you. That is why rainy, damp Portland and Seattle are nearly as overrun as Los Angeles and San Francisco, while sunny Miami and Houston are not. Culture is everything.

The superstition about the number 4 can very clearly be seen in many Chinatowns. In Flushing, NY for example, most grocery stores have their cashier numbers jump from 3 to 5. I've always found this interesting--the superstition around "13" doesn't interfere much with daily life since it's an uncommon enough number, but "4" shows up just about everywhere. If you're afraid of the number 4, can you handle counting numbers in the 40s at all? or the 400s?

Could you add something to the homeless question that clarifies that it's a state, or say "not a city"? I was guessing cities the entire time.

the google maps one is missing a bit, it shows it disputed in most of the world, but in India, China and Pakistan it shows what each of those countries claim to be theirs.

The one about the pit was very confusing for me as I've never heard the word in the context of fruit before (to me it is a stone), only as a hole/sunken area. I could guess the meaning from the context but it slowed me down loads. I did learn something though :)

You beat me to it! I was scrolling down to mention the Hank Green YouTube. The unpalatable Osage-orange in North America totally is a tree that needed mammoths and ground sloths though. Now the fruits just pile up and rot on the ground under the trees.
