9 doesn’t include those who said “whisky”. I don’t know if that’s reflected in the score or not.

Number 9 isn’t right. There were multiple answers for bourbon, and it didn’t score.

ETA: Ninjad.

It’s just a cut and paste issue. The actual scores for the people are right.

Bourbon and whisky were combined.

1. Tell me something for which Kentucky is famous.   
**9. Kentucky Derby/horses 16**  
**9. bourbon/whisky 16**
2. Fried chicken 5
3. Coal 1
4. Country music 1

Are pickled beets THAT popular in the US? I mean, I’ve eaten them, but not in probably 30 years. Hot pickled banana peppers was my first choice, but I switched to olives thinking martinis and such.
