Very nice quiz Quizmaster (or your tyrant name which I forgot), I just couldn't find out a bunch of them.... I guess I'm not good at these puzzles.

Guessed Bangor by the clues, but I'd previously never heard of this city. It so in one of the 4 states I've never been to, so perhaps that's why...

You'd be correct, never have. Though his Dark Tower series has been sitting on my reading backlog for... oh, about 12 years now.

Bangor, Maine also features prominently in the song "King of the Road." The line goes: "Third boxcar, midnight train, destination, Bangor, Maine."

Is that where the grating pronunciation "banger" came from? Anyone who pronounces it like that is instantly and under any social circumstances immediately met with the comeback beginning "Bang 'er?......"

It's Ban-gor, just like that. Remember it like it's something Stephen King is opposed to: Ban gore.

I genuinely thought it was pronounced "Banger." Just the other day I learned that the local newspaper is called the "Bangor Daily" and I giggled like a teenage boy. Now it's not as funny.

You Americans have some weird pronunciations for place names. Oh wait... we pronounce Towcester as Toaster and Worcester as Wuster. Never mind.

I've never heard of Bangor. That seems like a pretty off the wall question considering it's a small town of less than 35,000 people. Perhaps it should be changed to a larger, more well-known city?

The way the quiz is set up, the city could be Searcy Arkansas and if you can figure out the clues, you should be able to get it. No matter the population of the city or town.

It isn't large, but Bangor, Maine is known widely enough. Just like Bar Harbor or Laramie, Wyoming or Monterey, California.

Wouldn't "young male" be better than "young man"? That threw me off. A young man is what a boy becomes. They're not the same thing. They're more sequential than equivalent, IMO.

When I saw "Miss Hathaway" I immediately thought Jane (Beverly Hillbillies). Then my mind finally remembered what century we are in now. Just another old people thing I guess.

I mean, Anne Hathaway did live way back in the 16th/17th century... 😆

(In seriousness though, I've always thought it a bit interesting that there have now been two quite famous Anne Hathaways in history, but centuries and centuries apart. Similar with Jane Seymour...)

I am from San Diego, thought of both Sandy and Eggo, and somehow didn't get the question.

I got Sandy, and although I've never heard of Eggo, I guessed the answer. Some interesting definitions and pronunciations among these clues.

Same for me, except the other way around.

Didn't have the foggiest idea what the squirrel from SpongeBob might be called (I've never seen the show) but knew immediately the waffles had to be Eggo.

So I went around the map of the USA trying to think of any city that might end in a sound like "eggo" until I got it.

(My first stop was actually Chicago, wondering if the squirrel might be named "Chicka" or something like that.)

Great quiz, but why “red fruit” for apples? Surely apples are just as likely to be green? I spent ages typing in actual red fruits to no avail
