(We accepted the Smithsonian and/or The National Museum of American History as the correct answer.)"
I answered the Smithsonian at least once, and caught on to the flag illusions early on, but I guess they didn't draw my name (10 finalists chosen out of however many entered the correct answer at least once...)
Still fun, all the same.
