Apparently the toys had to be an American invention. With the apparent
exception of the yo-yo. And that's probably only because they stuffed up
their research and thought that it was an American invention, too.... How
this crtierion could be an educational one is beyond me. What are they
trying to teach people? That the rest of the world doesn't make good toys?
