By the usual usage of the word, either national or state/province
capitals are valid and county towns are not.

I can also cite precedent. In one of Mark's RE contests, he asked for a
current capital city in Canada. I'm fairly certain he did not otherwise
qualify the word "capital". National, provincial, and territorial
capitals were all acceptable answers (I answered Iqaluit and got a 1). I
don't know if Canada has county towns (they have counties, though) but I
doubt if one would have been a correct answer.

You've already won the anal-retentiveness award for the week. Was it

But that's points in the chess tournament, not in that particlar game.

Bamboo is neither tree nor shrub, so as far as I'm concerned, it's not wood.

It's been pointed out (by one of those who gave one of those answers)
that the item didn't say that the frame must be completely made of that
material.

I'm inclined to leave it as scored, unless someone can give a good
argument to change it.

Well, it's grass, 'though interpreting Merriam-Webster, it's a woody grass resembling a tree,
but then it's still grass, or *a* grass.

The question said "material", not "a material", and I think interpretable such that the above's
ok, but I wasn't sure, so I put something that had to be right, that is the steel alloy, and
got away with a one !

Also, I wondered whether its being "material", not "a material", was a tyop ?

archaeologists speculate that beer was instrumental in the formation of civilizations, so any reference to what is now the area around the confluence of the tigris and euphrates rivers counts. the earliest known chemical evidence of beer dates to circa 3500–3100 BC from the site of godin tepe in the zagros mountains of western iran, so that would also be counted as correct.
