Please discuss the National History Bee here.

Reminder: We are aware of the repeats the set had, if possible this thread is meant to focus on the question content/answerlines.

Overall, the question set for the bee was great (besides the repeats). One of my favorite questions was the Dick Cheney Hunting Incident question, In which I was prompted when I said "that time when Dick Cheney shot a guy". However the answer was accepted because apparently in the answer line in said accept "Dick Cheney shooting a guy". That question was one of the best I encountered throughout the entire tournament, so props to the writing team on that.
