I managed to get #9 correct by going through the ZIP codes MA to MT; it helped that in the pre-email era I lived in a couple of M states and sent snail mail to friends who lived in several others.

I’m pretty sure I got five right, unless they changed the size of basketball hoops recently. Elvis was just in the news a lot because of the anniversary of his death, and I thought the last three were gimmes, or conchs.
I also want to know how you bounce a cranberry before you harvest it!
I totally blew the basketball hoop one, because I was thinking of the height. (And following the Feud strategy of “Don’t overthink it: whatever first pops into your mind has a good chance of being the most popular answer, even if it isn’t correct.”)
It looks like 29 replies so far; are we going to get to 50 any time soon?
Yeah, most popular is the key, but overthinking it is a killer too. If I had thought that most people would not know who the last Whig president was I would have to deliberately not pick Fillmore and try to decide who the most likely wrong answer was

I assumed the question was asking for points of crossing (locations), not acts of crossing.
That was how I took it, also.
