Multiple Choice Numbers #2 - U.S. Edition

Juries can be as small as 6 for petit juries and as many as 32 I believe for grand juries. The vast majority of juries that are used for criminal or civil trials are made up of 12 people. As the question is worded (with the "typical" disclaimer) I believe 12 is the appropriate answer.

12 Angry Men. Very good film, also helped a lot in answering this question!

I got 8/18 which was good for 0 points. Think I'm actually pretty happy not to have contaminated my understanding of measurements with too many imperial units.

That's the only one I missed.

I don't know but 7¼ is my hat size. I'm guessing that the unit is "hat sizes."

Totally random, but I was literally looking at the tag of one of my baseball hats to buy a new one earlier today and that was my size. That’s how I knew.

I remembered that on some shoes I used to have it had a table with various sizes in UK/US notation. I figured since the numbers were close to the options given, perhaps it corresponded in some way.

Then I looked at my feet and think about the size of an average head. 4 1/3 was out, 9 1/2 seemed too big. So 7 1/4 was left.

But he says "there must be 50 ways", so it's speculative. If I say "there must be 10,000 different species of ant" it doesn't mean I can name them all.

No, it shouldn't. First of all, the name of the city is "New York," not "New York City." Second, even if you go from New York's western border (say, from Buffalo), it's still much closer to 2,451 than 1,432. Third, it's common knowledge that questions like that use like units. If the question were asking about New York state, it would ask for the distance from New York to California. If you end up in a city, Los Angeles, the presumption is that you're starting in a city, New York. Plus they're the US's two biggest cities, so I don't really see how anyone could misunderstand what the question is asking for.

We really should. We'd have to phase it in over time. But Americans are so stubborn. They won't give up the paper dollar bill even though it is impractical to use. The government has been minting dollar coins for like 20 years and nobody wants them. If you switched miles to kilometers, people would throw a fit.

They're actually very slightly different in the U.S., though both defined in SI units.

Because of Grover Cleveland, who was president for 4 years, then someone else was president for 4 years, then Cleveland served another term as president.

Some people were presidents twice.

What about the giant one in the middle... And the outer border?

with the options given I knew most, If I would have had to come up with an answer myself I would have known very few of them, though would have been roughly in the right region.

Of the ones I had to guess I only guessed the song correctly.
