That's nice, even though "The tonight show" is totally obscure for non-Americans.

At least here in Switzerland, it's on cable. Not worth watching with Jimmy, though. Also, saw it in some other countries, too, during Conan.

I've known people in other countries who watched American late night shows.

Perhaps less obscure than all of not-America as initially intimated.

Not exactly household names, but among the young and educated, many people have heard of Carson, Leno, Conan and Fallon. Might even be watching them.

Not sure it's possible but it would be fascinating to see how answers break down. As in what percent answered Carson, Leno, etc...

Level 70

Feb 26, 2020

For "States with less that 1 million", I entered Vermont, Alaska, Delaware, South Dakota, and North Dakota, but it didn't accept any of those. It only accepted Wyoming for some reason.

Pretty sure neither Farmington or Prescott have a population over 100,000.

Level ∞

They do in the metro area.

Level 58

Mar 5, 2020

I have to disagree. You ever been to Farmington, NM? There's nothing metro about it. Even if you include Bloomfield, Aztec, and Kirtland you're maybe at 60,000. The entire county was at 130,000 in 2010.

The whole county is the metro area. I don't like it either. But since I'm not USA dictator (yet) I have little power to change it.

According to Wikipedia, the yearly mean temperature in Tallahassee is 67.6 degrees Fahrenheit.

Tallahassee now is over 68 °F and has been added.

When did this happen? I wasn't aware until now.

Level ∞

Feb 18, 2023

A few years back. They moved their headquarters to Illinois, inflicting a lot of pain on the employees who had to uproot their families or lose their job. The choice to move to Illinois seems especially bizarre as the state is not exactly known for its business-friendly climate. And obviously the weather sucks as well. I wonder what logic went into that decision making process? It feels like they moved just to "do something". Boeing's management is generally rated as awful.

Props to Gassu for accepting “Boner” for Boehner.

Could you accept "Ojibwe" for Chippewa as it's the local name of the tribe.

Level 65

Mar 31, 2023

Seconded. I know them as the Ojibwe, not the Chippewa

Level 50

Mar 31, 2023

agree. Also, Dine should be accepted for Navajo and, I assume it's accepted although I didn't try, but Lakota is also the correct name, not Sioux.

Level 76

Mar 31, 2023

That map in the corner was nagging me to figure out what it is. It's showing the results of the 2016 Presidential election by congressional district. In case anyone was curious.

That style of map is pretty misleading though since it doesn't account for population density. In fact, it actually exaggerates the appearance that more people vote Republican by showing huge swaths of barely populated land as supporting Republican candidates. Acres don't vote.

Level 74

Mar 31, 2023

At least it shows roughly equally-populated tracts of land, unlike a state-by-state map.

Level 69

Mar 31, 2023

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't "Sioux" not the name of a tribe? More of a broader group of tribes (Lakota, Dakota, etc.) if I understand correctly. I guess census data governs what you can verifiably put on a quiz like this.

Level 50

Mar 31, 2023

Dine is the actual name for Navajo people (which is the spanish name) and should be accepted, if not listed, and Lakota is more accurate than Sioux and should be what is listed.

Level 67

May 25, 2023

Too US-centric.

Level 23

Dec 25, 2023

The current Speaker of the House is Mike Johnson, you might want to update accordingly
