Question 2 contains a published surname error
The quiz spells the rider’s name Jeff Ruimner. The supporting article spells it Jeff Ruminer.
The package preserves both source forms and prominently documents the discrepancy. It does not silently alter the published quiz.
Extra-credit option D contains a published place-name spelling
The quiz publishes Pittsburg, PA. The Pennsylvania city is normally spelled Pittsburgh. Because it is a distractor, it is preserved exactly and documented.
All answers are supported
All five main questions and the extra-credit question are answerable from the supplied two-page article spread. No answer was guessed and no external answer key was invented.
