On the main test, the only one I missed was "Pike's Peak".
Looking over the other sets of questions, I can see many that I would have missed. This is like a trivia game, in that there is no real thinking involved - either you know the answers or you don't. If looking them up is allowed, then anyone can find them out. If it's not, then being familiar with any particular subject is a great help, and if you aren't familiar with a particular subject then you don't have a chance. Intelligence has nothing to do with it.
Edison was a creative genius. Judging by how he judged others, he was a social idiot. On the side, he was also a legendary racist, which has nothing to do with this.
Or was that Henry Ford?
