Lisa Grindall,
Yeah, 3 of the 15 questions have an American association that no one else in the world could possibly know!
• That one about FDR is difficult; equivalent to knowing Churchill was Britain's Prime Minister during WWII.
• Knowing that Harrisburg is the capital of Pennsylvania is as tough as knowing the capital of a country 70 times smaller such as Liechtenstein is Vaduz.
• Knowing specific ordinal numbers of presidents is equally difficult for Americans.
But don't get me wrong; I really feel your pain. Where can we send donations?

Not so easy if you are not American.

One is NOT a prime number!
Check any math book.
