The scoring is still broken for me, I peeked twice and still got 100% and 7 keystrokes. ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯

If I recall there is an FDA rule that says you can’t sell a food item that contains a non edible thing that could cause someone to choke.
Edit: Here it is
Section 402(d)(1) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act provides that confectionery having partially, or completely imbedded therein, any non-nutritive object is adulterated unless FDA has issued a regulation recognizing that the non-nutritive object is of practical functional value to the confectionery product and would not render the product injurious or hazardous to health.
Yeah I don’t know why that monstrosity existed when you can just use paper like we do now.
Baseball is actually Japan’s #1 sport https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baseball_in_Japan
Personally I don’t really care about any sports from anywhere.
This is all US clues so I don’t know how they would think most people would get it.
The voting machines in the US prior to the 1970s where huge refrigerator sized booths that you walked into and on the wall there was rows of levers next to each name, proposal, etc. You had to click the lever down and it put an x in a little box next too the name. When you where done with your selections there was a big lever to pull that recorded your votes. https://s.hdnux.com/photos/16/34/16/3785601/3/1200x0.jpg
For the sports teams:
Detroit Red Wings, Ice Hockey (international , US & Canada)
Detroit Lions, US Football ( US only)
Detroit Tigers, Baseball (International, US & Japan)
Detroit Pistons, Basketball (International, many countries)

Ditto, I’ve one that will power a full size sata hdd (external power supply), use it for backups to magnetic, never had an issue. Got it years ago from a defunct computer shop, so no link but I Willi post the model later and put a ssd in and check TRIM.
Edit: the enclosure I have is a ORICO 3588US3 if you use it with a ssd you don’t need the external power supply, I put a ssd in it and ‘sudo hdparm -I /dev/sdb’ reports ‘Data Set Management TRIM supported’
New high score for me
