Wow. That’s excellent. I looked at the first five questions and got scared! I’m not sure how to retain information I learned 20+ years ago. The ability to remember this stuff is - in and of itself - a commendable skill, IMHO.

I don’t necessarily believe you because my score was 76.8 but you got me to admit it. I thought I would do better.

My score was 57 out of 60, btw. I hope my previous post was not confusing.

I scored a 78% and confirmed what I have felt since the day I graduated college, I do not know enough about 20th century history.

I saw it and was very impressed after seeing the stength of the questions. I would have done much better (I believe) if asked within 4 years of college.

I got 58 out of 60. Most of them are ridiculously easy, particularly the history ones.

I’m not sure I agree with the answers to the two I missed.
