The harder ones go episode by episode: the Raising Cane's replica, the numerology-obsessed Robbin, the Oregon child-labour rules that forced the baby swaps, Nate's Lizard Lounge, Dr. Fart, Remy and 'pretend daddy', John Goglia, Moody and Cindy in the simulated cockpit, Wings of Voice and Canadian Idol, the cloned dog Achilles, the Sully Sullenberger childhood re-creation and the Evanescence theory, Colin and 'The Pack', the meeting with Congressman Steve Cohen, and 'The Miracle over the Mojave'. There are also questions on the show's origins in Nathan for You, its ratings, reviews and the debate about whether it is cruel or profound. Every answer was checked against the show's Wikipedia article and Nathan Fielder's, and each question shows its citation once you have answered.
