Time to JTQ. I watched the miniseries about John Adams but I don't remember this.

No idea on the Jesus net question. I use a lifeline-probably JTQ since I doubt the audience knows this.

The rest were pretty easy up to the last one. I know a lot about John Adams except what he called his dog. I think ALL those names are terrible names for a dog. I either use plus one or walk.

Q6: I didn't know Drake was Canadian (& admit I can't place any Drake songs, either) but did know Bruno Mars was USAian. I thought Hawaiian, the contestant said someplace else, but anyway.

Q7: Jump in a hurry. How should I know what the Adamses named their dog. Was it in that miniseries I didn't see (it was on cable)?

I saw the series and I don't recall any dog in it. There's no credit for a dog playing Satan on their IMDb page, either. This is just one of those obscure trivia questions that are easy to google but are unlikely to come up if you're not looking for obscure trivia.

According to Wikipedia, Adams had two other dogs named Juno and Mark, and a horse named Cleopatra. Just in case the SyndieBAM question writers should ask...
