Baseball puzzle
From IFWiki
A kind of puzzle that requires uncommon outside knowledge to complete. It is very easy for a game author to forget that players with a different cultural background may not have the kind of local knowledge the author takes for granted, especially in the international gaming community.
The game Zork II contains a literal baseball puzzle involving a stick with the name Babe Flathead written on it, which was meant to get the player to think along the lines of the rules of baseball.
