DavePhD is right, and I am accepting and up-voting his answer. But first ... the real key to the conundrum is a little outside the box. [It is trimethylamine that has a $\mathrm{p}K_\mathrm{b}$ of 4.2](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trimethylamine). Apparently some chemists mistook the basicity of TMAH for that of trimethylamine.
