Near the end of the movie, Rebecca starts to have a conversation with Sacajawea:

Rebecca: "You rock! I am a big fan!"
Sacajawea: "What would you like to know?"
Rebecca: "Well I don't know where to start but..." (they walk away)

Although this TECHNICALLY passes the test, it does so in the laziest, most insulting way possible.

This meeting between the two female characters was meant to be a huge moment for Rebecca. She'd been writing her thesis for four years about Sacajawea and this was her chance to ask her hero everything she ever wanted to know... and the writer couldn't come up with a single question to include on camera? It's like the moment they started talking, the female characters realized "Menfolk don't want to hear our boring woman-talk that doesn't have anything to do with relationship drama. Lets go off to a dark corner somewhere where we won't be contributing anything to the plot."
