What? Delaware? Why Delaware?

Two reasons are often cited: First, Delaware has a large and established body of corporate law. In theory, this means that corporations can know the rules and face less ambiguity from lawsuits. Second, Delaware has been accused of being very corporate friendly, meaning that it is harder to sue a corporation in Delaware than most other states. There is no requirement for corporations to have a physical presence in Delaware. They just exist there as legal entities. Completely sensical, right?

Yeah, that second reason seems more likely.

I thought the same thing. It seemed like a weird question to be included in a U.S. general knowledge quiz.

she's something that would be generally known by Americans, having married two of them, and building her career through US television shows Home Improvement and Baywatch, and US publication Playboy. What difference does it make that she was born in Canada?

Isn't Jet also an African-American magazine and a type of wood? It's usually considered a gemstone... but it's really made of wood.

It may have started out as wood but it turned into coal under pressure and became a mineraloid, so it isn't really wood anymore. (Jet is also the name of our youngest black angus bull calf.) :)

Wasn't J.P. Morgan also heavily involved in the railroad industry?

Yes. That was my first guess. Then I said "iron" and "steel" because he owned U.S. Steel. Then I realized there was no need to overthink. But the clue is extremely vague and there are many valid, correct answers--he was "involved in" many industries.

Question number #5 asking who Abraham Lincoln was referring to is also in US General Knowledge #58. One of them should be updated. Thanks!
