The American Culture Quiz this week focuses on summer-related topics, including beach life, fast-food burgers, baseball record-setters, and Billboard hit-makers. The quiz tests participants on their knowledge of unique national traits, trends, history, and people. It covers a range of topics to challenge players who think they know all things American. Questions include topics ranging from the largest beach in the world to pop music divas to baseball legends and fast-food chains.
One of the questions in the quiz asks about the Guinness World Record holder for the largest beach in the world, with 28 miles of oceanside sand. Participants must choose from options including Long Beach, California, Coney Island, New York, Polihale Beach, Hawaii, and Virginia Beach, Virginia. Another question challenges players to determine if it is true or false that more than half of the 50 U.S. states have oceanfront coastline along the Atlantic, Pacific, or Gulf of Mexico.
The quiz also delves into pop music history, asking participants to identify the pop diva who dominated the charts in the summer of 1979. With a No. 1 single for 8 weeks, a No. 1 album for 6 weeks, and a No. 1 duet with Barbra Streisand later that year, this singer left a significant mark on the music industry. Additionally, the quiz highlights recent changes in Major League Baseball, recognizing Negro League performances as official statistics and acknowledging legends like the MLB’s youngest player.
Participants are tested on their knowledge of fast-food chains, with a question asking which popular burger joint became the world’s first fast-food restaurant when it opened in Wichita, Kansas, in 1921. Options include Hardee’s, McDonald’s, White Castle, and Jack in the Box. Another question challenges players to identify which U.S. president claimed to have attended school for less than a year in total throughout his entire childhood, with options like James K. Polk, Millard Fillmore, George Washington, and Abraham Lincoln.
The quiz also touches on current trends, asking which city has had more people move into it than any other so far in 2024, according to a report from moving and storage company PODS. Options include Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, Phoenix, Arizona, Houston, Texas, and Tampa, Florida. Furthermore, the quiz tests participants with true or false statements, such as the claim that Jennifer Lopez made her film debut at age 16 with a small role in “My Little Girl” in 1986.
