Preeminent universities
As is well known, Florida classifies its state universities into "preeminent" and "emerging preeminent universities" based on specified criteria which reflect quality. Are there other states that do that?—azuki (talk · contribs · email) 05:19, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Does it classify any as "Just average"? HiLo48 (talk) 05:31, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Nope - only Florida.--WaltCip (talk) 12:57, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

Museum of Board games
Are there museums of board games in the world?--95.233.83.162 (talk) 10:46, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
 * There was this one, but it closed in 2009. You can still view the contents of the museum online. --Viennese Waltz 10:55, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
 * You missed an exhibition devoted to board games at the V&A Museum of Childhood in London; Game Plan: Board Games Rediscovered which was due to close this week but actually shut weeks ago due to the current emergency. They have a large board game collection, part of which is usually on display, and you can view it on-line here. Alansplodge (talk) 11:27, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
