Ah, good point about not being sure whether there was an unstated element you were expected to know from real life. Amusingly, if you'd gotten to #8 you would've found one where bringing real-world knowledge into it leads to a wrong answer.
Thinking about it more, it might have made more sense (given that the Web is global) to use a completely (and obviously) made-up game instead of baseball there, so as to avoid that "what don't I know about this that they're assuming I should?" reaction. If it were clear that nobody was expected to have outside knowledge of the sport...
So okay, yeah, cultural bias. I guess I should see whether there's a feedback address for whoever wrote the test.
