Good grief. If the alien had survived he’d probably be a senator by now.

Which major city in New York State was named after King James II and VII of Great Britain?
Hint: One is the capital of the state, and the other was once the capital of the U.S. and is thought by many to be the capital of the state.
The category is “First Second Third”. The answer is “This First Lady named Edith was her husband’s second wife. She opposed her husband’s plans to run for a third term in 1920 on the grounds that his health had declined.”
Quadratic equations.
“What is the largest city (stating with the letter C) in the State of Ohio?” actually has three possible answers. Columbus is the largest incorporated city, Cleveland is the largest metropolitan area if you only include parts within the state, and Cincinnati is the largest if you include parts in northern Kentucky. Of course, you can drop “starting with the letter C” from the question, and still get the same three answers.
What is the square root of x (where x is any real or complex number not equal to zero)?
Questions of the form ‘what is the only English anagram of ‘banana’?’
(because, assuming there is only one anagram of the word, the word itself is also an anagram of itself - letters rearranged into what happens to be the same readable word as the original)
What is the Capital of Georgia?
There is only one Punjab. It was divided into two, that’s the Part bit of Partition, and both countries then continued to call their version “Punjab”, infact India further subdivided their bit.
And while several towns share names, “Hyderabad” is rare in that both cities are large with multi- million people populations.
In play: Two countries each named for a River in Africa.
Who is buried in Grant’s Tomb?

After whom is Lincoln County named?
It’s obvious for most Lincoln counties, but Lincoln County, Kentucky as first organised as a county of Virginia in 1780, long before Abe Lincoln was born. It’s named after General Benjamin Lincoln.

Who created the character Dennis The Menace, first published on 12 March, 1951?
I was thinking of John Hanson, the first President of the United States under the Articles of the Confederation. Most people don’t consider it a legitimate argument because the office didn’t work the same way as it does under the Constitution but it isn’t a completely false claim either because he did have the title.
I was waiting for this one.

I don’t know if they still have it, but Trivial Pursuit’s Spain’s edition used to have this question:
Which artist recorded an album called Mediterráneo?
Having said Rebeldes and agreed that it was correct (it had been a pretty big hit a couple of years prior, specially the song by the same name), several of my dorm-mates were miffed to find a different answer in the back of the card. So, they came to the room of that girl who was banned from playing TP.
I knew that there was at least one other album by that name, that it was much older and had caused a big political scandal when published; that album by Joan Manuel Serrat was the one referenced in the answer card.
And if you make it songs instead of albums, there’s even more; different ones, I mean, not just covers.
