Delaware and alaska (excluding DoC) are the top two... Both were given as guesses on this thread. I have just rechecked as I doubted myself... Idaho is second per head.
Yeah I guess with Alaska you NEED to be rich to survive up there!

FA Cup question.....in the 1969-70 FA cup Manchester United were first to do this.....what?
Sorting out a quiz, have 30 of the 40 questions thus far
First team to come third in the Fa Cup, in the much maligned third place play offs
Come third was the answer I was after (well done pumphol) though nick's answer is also correct I think. So that went well!!
Good question. I never knew that.
You often hear about the Chelsea - Leeds final but I've never heard any mention of a 3rd place play-off

What has Welsh ex-boxer Colin Jones got in common with Rod Stewart?
Have you ever been called a drongo? Where does this insult comes from?
It does come from Australia but I need a bit more than that Clunge
It's a bird. For some reason Aussie's are keen to use bird names as insults. I remember Alf Stewart in Home and Away calling people both drongo and 'a shag on a rock'. Why they do this I've no idea.
Not the right answer. It is a bird but not in this case
If you're thinking of the horse, I think that's probably a myth. They also use flaming gala (another bird) as a derogatory term.
Australian slang: A "no-hoper" or fool. Derives from a racehorse of that name in the 1920's that never one a race out of 37 starts.

What was Samantha (wife of PM David) Cameron's maiden name?
In March 1977 Australia played England in a one-off test match in Melbourne to celebrate the centenary of the first ever Australia v England test. What was unusual about the result of the 1977 encounter?
Think you are right there Nirv. Defo wasnt a tie. Only two, aus v wi in 1960/1 and india v aus in the eighties.
Similarly.
What was unusual about the second test England v Zimbabwe, in Zim in 1996?

Scores were level (match drawn) but not a tie as England (chasing) were 9 down (not all out as needed if it were a tie)
that doesnt make much sense but hopefully you catch my drift
Tommy is right. Scores level but still a draw. Think nick knight got a ton chasing. Bumble then made the infamous "we flippin murdered them" statement. So we have never beaten zim away from home yet in the past 13 years we have beaten everyone else home and away. Tbf, the 0-0 result did flatter them, though we were well beaten in the one dayers.

Who is the only US President to have attended a Test match? (Very thinly veiled 'Guess a US President Q', imo)
It is gonna be a guess a president question. But I will go with Bill Clinton or perhaps George W Bush
Eisenhower, I think - whichever one it was went to an India v Pakistan game
Who won the test match held in Manchester towards the end of April in 1893 ?
Presumably a trick question Pumpy. Think only eng and aus played tests back then. There was a trination tourney with saffers but think that was more like 1905. So i can only presume you are not talking about cricket. Or even rugby.
My guess would be New Zealand.

your wrong Rob but your on the right lines well sort of anyway.
OkUSA or Canada are common answers to questions like this. Or France.
Weren't these football matches, like promotion play-offs?
Test Match = promotion/relegation playoff in the Football League?

Q. Which England player once took over the goalkeeper's jersey for his club team in a League Cup semi-final while the regular goalie was being treated for an injury for 20 minutes - saving a penalty, only for it to be scored on the rebound?
I thought that was quite a common piece of trivia. Presumaby it was mentioned on that radio programme about the great man.
Why Stoke City v West Ham can claim to be the best cup tie ever
"Whhttp://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1365422/Stoke-City-v-West-Ham-Why-1972-semi-final-claim-best-cup-tie-ever.html#axzz2K42FM1yu
1972 - second replay at Old Trafford where Stoke won 3-2.
Moore stepped in for the injured Ferguson, blocking a Mike Bernard taken penalty a few minutes later - but one Bernard then got a goal from on the rebound.
The Mighty Potters then went on to win the League Cup that year - beating Chelsea.
It hasn't been mentioned, Rob, but came to mind while I've been listening to it.
