Thanks.
Is it E? If so, that's quite astonishing for its time, IMO. |

Non-obvious? That's a matter of opinion. Doc's were very difficult. |

Actually, my question still hasn't been correctly answered. Should I just give the correct choice or does anybody else want to try to answer it? |

E is the correct answer. In 1889, Fusajiro Yamauchi, great-grandfather of the present president, began manufacturing "Hanafuda," Japanese playing cards in Kyoto. He later marketed these cards under the company name Yamauchi Nintendo & Co. This top of the line game system had such hits as Poker, Blackjack, Hearts, Solitare, and Bridge on it. Not only that, but it made a delightfully funny bodily noise when you reset (shuffled) them. This of course was a century before the company produced Game and Watch and then the NES system (the latter of which was after they were infiltrated by the communists). |

The sources on the internet are not clear on this one. One source says A, Egypt. Another says B, Mexico. Still another lists a pyramid is Guatamala which isn't even a choice on your list! |

According to the Guiness Book of Records: Largest Pyramid The largest pyramid is the 3.3 million-cubic meter (4.3 million cubic yd) Quetzalcóatl Pyramid at Cholula de Rivadia, southeast of Mexico City, Mexico. So B I assume any variation depends on the use of the term largest, largest by volume or height or width? By Volume it would be B |
