Seat.

I was confused by the wording, but "pie chart" was the only one of the four

asked question on Internet trivia games.
Perhaps the use of "Inauguration" through him off. Kenendy was the
youngest to be elected, while Teddy took over after McKinley was
killed. In that situation, does the new President get an
"Inauguration"? I thought he just took the oath of office and started
his duties as President.
But I would still have answered Teddy, since the show does not use
trick questions.

The way I learned it, the mere oath-taking counts as an inauguration.

I knew that New Hampshire's state motto is "Live Free or Die." I
know the state mottoes of all other states, but here are the mottoes of
the other three states in the question:
* Pennsylvania -- "Virtue, Liberty, and Independence"
* Massachusetts -- "Ense Petit Placidam sub Libertate Quietem"
(Latin, "By the Sword, We Seek Peace, But Peace Be Only Under Liberty")
* Virginia -- "Sic Semper Tyrannis" (Latin, "Thus Always to
Tyrants")
