Ken Jennings Almanac Sampler - Random Trivia Answers

• A1) St. Louis (hence, Spirit of St. Louis"). The "Avia-tricks" quiz (an "aviatrix" is a female pilot) flies from the Wright brothers to the Zero to Herbert Morrison to the Winnie Mae.
• A2) Perth. The "3/4 Time" test ("3/4 time" is a musical time signature in which each measure is three quarter notes long) also ventures forth on the moon, the "Great Upheaval", cadmium, and the Federalist Papers.
• A3) The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis. The "Tuesday Trivia" section ("Tuesday Trivia" is Ken's own weekly e-mail quiz) also wonders about 'Til Tuesday, 1453, Tuesdays with Morrie, and "Tune in next Tuesday".
• A4) Oliver!. "Comma Sutra" (a pun on "Kama Sutra") asks ten punctuation-related questions.

• A7) Fibber McGee and Molly. "Well, That's Just Great" (I don't know if Ken was referring to anything specific here; the line is in Ghostbusters and The Simpsons among others) is a great little quiz about Great things.
• A8) California. The "Goober(natorial) Pile" quiz (Goober Pyle was the mechanic in The Andy Griffith Show) presents a pair of governors from each of fifteen states.
