I didn't answer the "easy course one" because I wouldn't use any of them.

I agree - definitely a trolley. Another one they missed was drinking fountain; around here it is called a bubbler - I say bubbler more often than not, because I like it!

I'm a 'cart'er, presumably some of the other bizarre options are things people say in some parts, "Kitty Corner", The devil is beating his wife"!

You'd think it should be higher than 20% upper and 0% midwest wouldn't you?
