That's disappointing. I'm going to pretend I actually knew the answer and complain that I didn't see the quiz in time to be the first to answer it.

I'd better know that answer given that I've lived in the former New Amsterdam for my whole life . . .

By the way, what prompted the quiz?

I'm thinking it's somewhere in Florida, I can't remember the exact city though.

I believe it was primarily signed in Philadelphia, but it was actually signed in several different cities over a period of several years.

Ponce de Leon was searching for it there. ;)

i thought russian roulette was a game of life and death, not a tv show.

Without Googling, I think it was 3 cents per acre. For some reason that number is the first I thought of.
