I guessed right but how is this suppose to generally known? Things can a little too trivial.

Trivia is one thing; obscure insignifica is another.

Good grief, there's trivia, then there's extra non-special trivia: On what date did my grandmother's aunt on my mother's side forget to feed the chickens?

Nicole Montunnas

I lived in Fayetteville for 14 years and didn't even know the answer to this.

Marian Spitzig

I would have guessed 0 had it been a choice, because of the location of Fayetteville.

Jim Mascair

This is some obscure trivia. I wonder if the people of Fayetteville can answer it. I am surprised so many got it right..

Surprised that this question is still here. The only reasonable answer would be either a low number like "one" or an especially high number maybe on the order of "50". It should be retired.
