---------------------------------+----------------------------
 I am using ScummVM version 2.8.1.

 I don't know whether this should be considered a "bug" or not, but there
 is an error in a question in the age quiz at the beginning of AGI version
 of Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards. The answer to the
 question "The American television debut of Bob Hope, Dinah Shore, Elvis,
 and the Beatles was" is given in the game as "b. Your Show of Shows."
 However, as probably anyone familiar with American TV in that era can tell
 you, this is incorrect. The correct answer is supposed to be "a. The Ed
 Sullivan Show." (In fact, I just discovered that Your Show of Shows went
 off the air well before some of those people became famous; ten years
 before the Beatles came to America, for example.)

 I believe this error goes back to Sierra and was likely simply a mistake
 in programming the game (i.e. Al Lowe almost certainly knew the correct
 answer). I don't know what people think of fixing it now, but I wanted to
 bring it up.

 I am playing the English GOG version of the game.

 I am running the game on Windows Home 11, version 23H2.
