Looks like the questions were printed prior to the record being broken last year.

Here's the answer they give:

Primo Carnera. The 6-foot-7 boxer tipped the scales at 270 pounds in March 1934, before beating 184-pound Tommy Loughran in a 15-round decision. The 86-ppound difference was the biggest in a title fight.

What fruit gave a battlefield weapon its name?

They got the name because the first grenades resembled pomegrantaes in shape and size.

On the TV series The Sopranos, what was the name of the racehorse co-owned by mob boss Tony Soprano?
