Last week’s question
Which of the following is illegal in North Carolina?
a. Bingo games lasting more than five hours
b. Collecting seaweed at night
c. Games involving catching a greased pig

The answer is A. North Carolina has pretty strict rules regarding bingo. All of the other options are laws in different states, so don’t collect seaweed at night in New Hampshire, try to catch a greased pig in Minnesota, or use a ferret for hunting in West Virginia.
