I am a pedant who came here specifically to mention this. I didn't even know it was going to be part of the quiz, I just randomly tell Internet strangers that his name was Hiram and that the S. didn't stand for anything. It's what historians do between semesters.

Never mind the fact they are made from the skin of cruelly murdered animals. They're still boots.

To be fair, Uluru *is* also known as "Ayer's Rock".
