In last month's trivia question, we noted that 2009 was the 100th anniversary of the Pacific Northwest's first world's fair--the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition--and asked which of the following was not an attraction on the fair's midway, known as the Pay Streak:

1. The Salmon Grab Amusement
2. The Captive Balloon Amusement
3. The Educated Horse Amusement
4. The Hindoo Mystery Amusement
5. The Human Laundry Amusement

The correct answer is #1. There was no "Salmon Grab Amusement," although we still find it easier to envision than the "Human Laundry Amusement."
