It wasn't exactly that it ended on June 19th, but that was the day the news arrived in Texas. It's kind of a big deal here.

LOL. A quiz about Texas was too "American centric". If it were a quiz about Zambia, would it be too "African-centric"? If it were a quiz about Rome, would it be too "Italo-centric"?
