Is Question 1 not Nine? I thought that 12 was only the maximum, and not the most common. You could change the question to, "Three more than the typical number of Jurors in a typical Jury," so the stats don't reset.

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.

The "short ton" answer is misleading in a US quiz -- the term is not used in the US, but by other countries to refer to what in the US is referred to simply as a "ton".

Yeah, this threw me off. I (an American) read it and thought, "Well a regular ton is 2000 pounds, so I guess a short ton is probably 1000?"

I agree. What we in the US call 1000 kg is a "metric ton", although in British spelling I've seen it written as "tonne". But no short tons (unless you're being cheated by a dishonest grain dealer).

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.

50 Ways to Leave Your Lover always left me wanting more because he only names a handful of ways...step out the back, Jack, hope on a bus, Gus, make a new plan, Stan...I know there's more but he definitely doesn't name more than 10 ways. What are the rest????

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.

New York should be New York City
jmellor13

Level 67
Jul 17, 2021
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.

It would be an enormous expense to switch to metric. Imagine all of the road signs that would need to be changed just to change from miles to kilometers. (And I think that paper dollars are much easier to carry than coin dollars.)

Despite the UK switching to metric some time ago, road signs have remained in miles and I can't see that changing
wolfcat95

Yes, America should switch! FlickerP is right that switching need not apply to everything, but as for the expense... How much money did it cost when the US lost that Mars lander because half the calculations were done in metric and half Imperial units? ... and that is far from the only incident. There would be a great deal of money to be saved by using a measurement system that conforms to the rest of the world. The USA is out of step with (literally) 95% of the planet because of ignorance and/or stubbornness.

I think that the units teaspoon (defined as 5 ml) and tablespoon (15 ml) are used all over the western world. So why is it in a US edition?
