Another TP error that I haven't seen mentioned here before.  It
is a geography question in the Genus edition that was asked to me.
The question goes something like 'What U.S. state has the lowest
highest elevation at 60 feet?'  (Their answer is Delaware.)

I replied that this was impossible since the answer was Florida
with a max elevation around 300 feet.   Since they wouldn't believe
me I went and got my trusty Almanac which proved me right. 
Delaware does, however, have the lowest AVERAGE elevation at 60
feet according to the Almanac.  And they doubted someone who once
lived in the Diamond State.

(The only reason I knew this was because I was curious to know if there
was a state with a lower higher elevation than Delaware's ~405 feet
- just Florida).
