Olympic years are divisible by 4, so the answer has to be zero.

Not that I'm such a geography expert, but I know of only one of those states that has a Burlington. And not that I'm such a cultural expert, but Vermont seems like it might have zero Starbucks, so I'm confident enough on this one to go for it.

Process of elimination -- the other three are all brand names for something else.

The question said "Winter or Summer." Olympic years are all even numbers, but not all are divisible by 4, ever since the Winter Olympics started offsetting by 2 years in 1994.

I knew that - but even after all these years I can't get used to the offset.
