The very last question in the $100,000 knowledge contest asked the name of the Midwest city that is in the area known as the "geographic center of the U.S." Medfield answered Lebanon, KS and won the contest. However, that answer is incorrect because of the way the question was phrased. Lebanon, KS is the geographic center of the 48 states, not the U.S. The official markers there are worded that way. The center of the U.S. is a site in South Dakota about 20 miles north of Belle Fourche. There is a USGS benchmark on the spot which moved from Lebanon, KS in 1959 after Alaska and Hawaii became states, 10 years before this movie came out.
