"If you lived in a one story house made "entirely of redwood" what color would the stairs be?"

aren't 'none of the above' questions frowned upon?

what was the longest running tv cartoon series before the simpsons?

the correct answer, Sazae-san, is not listed. this Japanese cartoon has not been outdone by the simpsons. it started in 1969 and is still running. a simple solution would be to specify US or english-language in the quiz question.

the variance you're seeing is probably due to demographics (sex, race, etc). there's also a difference between lifespan and life expectancy. here's the US government's report on life expectancy:

a white male born in 1900: 48.23.

any variance you'll find is far less than the difference between the alternative answers (30, 57, 65).

i fail to see what's ambiguous about this rejected quiz question. there was no Rambo II. any insight would be appreciated.

First Blood
Rambo
Rambo II
Rambo III

from wikipedia: "The first series of Britain's Got Talent began on 9 June 2007 and ended on 17 June 2007. It was won by opera singer Paul Potts."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Britain%27s_Got_Talent_(series_1)

but George Sampson, who won the second series, is marked as correct.

rather than the ambiguity of 'major' religion, i prefer MartinBV's suggestion of something like The Iliad. i don't imagine Mormons would want to be thought of as 'minor' any more than Christians want to be thought of as just a popular sect of Judaism.

i just got this one: What color do you get by mixing yellow and blue?

Stekkos, are you suggesting Mormons are not a "major" religion? what counts as major?
