Cool quiz. Never heard of Aster, so I looked him up—apparently he made his fortune by fur, opium, and real estate. Interesting guy for sure.

I believe Americans were called Doughboys because they giggled when you poked their tummies.

If I remember correctly, they used them to see through the shoes to see if the feet fit properly.

I was all ready to write a remark about it, but thought I'd read the comments first. Seems like I was not the only one who noticed.

Interesting quiz, as a Brit I knew there would be a few I was going to be guessing at that an American would probably know straight off, but there are some interesting questions/answers in there.

American time zones were created by the Interstate Commerce Commission, which was empowered to do so by the Standard Time Act (1918). Responsibility for time zones was transferred to the Department of Transport in 1966. Before 1918, railways had to have a set time to have timetables, but those times were not adopted by the nation. Towns all set their own time, usually by the sun. Now you have a head start if you want to do the quizzes in my series "It's about time".
