Could you make it to high school in 1912 Kentucky?

[Sue U]

Well, could you?

I got 30 right, 7 wrong for 81%. (Should have gotten 2 or 3 more right but didn't read the questions closely enough. Be careful!)

[Econoline]

I got 33 correct, 4 wrong (89%), and blue, yellow, green and brown wedges. I should have gotten one more right but the question asked "Who settled Massachusetts?" rather than "Who first settled Massachusetts?" so technically there were two correct answers.

ETA: but I really, really, *REALLY* don't want to go to high school again! ESPECIALLY not in 1912 Kentucky!

[TPFKA@W]

It says I got 100%. I seem to have slipped into some alternate reality where I am smarter than the average bear.

I need to go buy a lottery ticket.

[TPFKA@W]

Looking over the answers it says I gave I am fairly sure are often not what I actually said.

If you want to impress your family and friends take the test on an Iphone.

[Econoline]

Uh....lottery tickets are not for those who are smarter than anybody...

Just sayin'

[TPFKA@W]

The insinuation was that I had a bit of luck.

[Econoline]

Well, I was going to ask you to the prom in 1916, but now that you've discovered that you have to explain your jokes to me I guess that means you'll turn me down.

I should have gotten one more right but the question asked "Who settled Massachusetts?" rather than "Who first settled Massachusetts?" so technically there were two correct answers.

I want to correct myself before somebody else does: considering how many people were already living in Massachusetts (and Georgia, and Florida, and Maryland) before the illegal immigrants arrived from Europe...technically there were NO correct answers in that whole series of questions.

[Crackpot]

I got 59% though I would have probably passed it if I was still in eighth grade.

[MajGenl.Meade]

You answered 30 of 37 questions correctly for a total score of 81%.

I had no idea any number could begin with a decimal point AND have a decimal point inside it? .0003,456.2134. What's up with that?

And who cares who "settled" various states as if any of them have been - well Georgia's still uncivilized anyway?

I'd think that in 1912 we'd all make to high school because these obscure white male oriented answers would have been taught. Unlike today.

(joke, Georgians)

[oldr_n_wsr]

begin with a decimal point AND have a decimal point inside it?

It's not a number it's an internet address.

[Crackpot]

There's a comma there Meade. Tha means there are two numbers.

[Sue U]

Commas save lives!

Let's eat Grandma.
Let's eat, Grandma.

[MajGenl.Meade]

There's a comma there Meade. Tha means there are two numbers.

I'm pretty sure it was just one number and just one answer. If there were two numbers the comma should be followed by a space - which it was not. 3,645 is three thousand six hundred and forty five - 3, 645 is three and six hundred and forty five

Anyone remember better than I?

[oldr_n_wsr]

Not me, I suffer from CRS.

[Crackpot]

There are no commas after decimal points. Therefore it reverts to list rules. :p

[MajGenl.Meade]

Doh! It does have a space after the comma and it does say "these TWO numbers". Sue's warning about reading the question carefully was far, far too coy and not detailed enough.

[Big RR]

One wrong (the stupid largest state one); the rest right, although some were educated (and a couple were lucky) guesses.
