You need to fix the spelling of Verrazano-Narrows Bridge (and allow people to input alternate spellings, since the guy it's named for spelled his name several different ways). And "1624" is an awfully specific (and not very interesting) answer. How about asking for the name the Dutch gave it? I think you could expand this to include many more of the city's famous landmarks, too.

Verrazano-Narrows bridge definitely needs to have its spelling corrected, but I would stick with one spelling, since they're asking for the name of the bridge, not the guy. The guy may have had multiple spellings, but the bridge only has one.

Way too much time allotted I think (or maybe because I'm from the NYC area...)

I think there is WAY too much time, but also, The Dutch were not the "first settlers" strictly speaking. You should say "First European Settlers" or something of that nature to be both more historically and politically correct.

Maybe he's not one of the billions of sheep who likes being politically correct, jinglebells. Great quiz.

Penn Station is also famous, not to mention busier than Grand Central, and should be accepted as an alternate

@QuintFan... It's "PC" to recognize that the Lenape are human beings? Oh.

@tbwilson HAHAHAHA. I think the quiz is too short, too easy, and too much time allotted. I would suggest adding more questions that aren't so generic.
