I wonder how many people would have answered the Hamilton question correctly in 2010. Very few would have said "Aaron Burr, sir!"

Actually, quite a few would have gotten it right. They just might have pronounced it "aaawwwon buwwww" while being upset that they just lost a $10,000 radio contest.

:) That Got Milk commercial is one of the reasons I know it.

I thought it was quite a well known fact about the founding fathers. More famous now sure but no secret before

"Were revealed?" Does Steve Harvey not still say "survey says?"

Level 73

I think he usually uses past tense in the last round. "Name a purchase that you would need to consult your spouse about before making. You said... a car. Our survey said... 34."

Oh. Those saints. The only thing I could think of was that the song was associated with the Latter Day Saints, so I guessed Salt Lake City.

Level 46

I think the "Black Belt" could be used for "Bible Belt" as well

Are people really good in karate in the Bible Belt?

Level 65

The Space Force name still cracks me up.

Level 67

Never heard of BLM. Only thing I could think of was USDA, which obviously isn't three letters.

I think I could come up with Bureau, but what then.

I might have already asked this question elsewhere at some point, but I'm still wondering why NOLA isn't accepted for New Orleans. It's a fairly common nickname/abbreviation and a lot of other cities are shortened on Jetpunk... That being said, I was surprised when the right answer popped with only St. Pete for the Russia/Florida one. :)

I was about say, I wish NOLA was accepted

Nola will work now.

Oh, belts. Once again, you have shamed me.

Level 45

I've lived in Nevada most of my life, so the three-letter agency was easier for me to identify than where Miami University is.

The snow belt is another belt that wasn't on the quiz

Looks like:

Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey

For anyone curious

Consider allowing "Yankee Stadium" for #6?

Hoover's quote aged horribly.

It's the day after Thanksgiving...no belts necessary!

Accept Cotton Belt for Bible Belt? It also matches the clue.
