Actually the correct answer is Executive, Legislative, and Judicial.

Thanks for playing though, and please accept this home version of our game.

Actually, and seriously now, the three branches of government are:

1. The People

2. The Several States

3. Federal

Says so right in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. These are the three due to Federalism as the backbone.

The original contention was ...

One in three Americans can't name a single branch of the U.S. government

... so would, I think, be looking only at what you denominated "3. Federal."

This is turning into an interesting discussion, especially with the addition of your post.
