That's original level 8, of course.
I learned this from reading Ken Jennings new book, "Maphead," But I'm pretty sure I could have connected
Persian with Iran
even if I hadn't.

That's the second time this has been mentioned (the other day a contestant said he'd been trying to get on the show ever since it came into syndication) - did she not like the primetime version?

This seems like a fairly easy question for a Level 8. I note that her reasoning was skewed, but she still came up with the right answer. Her answer was based on Iran being "mad at us" while the others weren't.

In the winter of 79, I was a single lady, briefly (my now husband and I were 'on a break') and I went to a disco (shut up) with some friends. A guy struck up a conversation with me, and one of my friends asked him where he was from. His answer? "Persia." Being Iranian during the hostage crisis was not a good way to pick up chicks, apparently. I was shocked when some of my friends had no idea -- "wow, Persia? cool!"
