About That Last Question...
This one stumped everyone—and honestly, we should have been more specific! There's a difference between "cross streets" and "intersections." Franklin Street has 9 cross streets (named roads that cross from one side to the other), but if you count every intersection point—including where roads meet Franklin from just one side—you get 17 intersections.
So whether you answered 9, 17, or anything in between, you were probably overthinking it exactly the right amount. That's the kind of local knowledge we love.
