What do you mean, you failed? Me too (And if you try to tell me you passed, you LIED)

I passed.

On the test, that is...

Didn't take it so I had no wrong answers.

Accuse me of lying if you must, but I got 4 right--4, 6, 7, and 10 (I was also 2 years short on 1),

I failed, but I actually got 3...(or two and a half, depending on how you want to score it)

I got 4 and 10, and I got one of the two answers for three. (Which I would argue should count as a full point since the question is stated in the singular, not as plural)

1) How long did the Hundred Years' War last? Not 100 years.

2) Which country makes Panama hats? Not Panama.

3) From which animal do we get cat gut? Not a cat.

4) In which month do Russians celebrate the October Revolution? Not October.

5) What is a camel's hair brush made of? Not camel's hair.

6) The Canary Islands in the Pacific are named after what animal? Not the canary.

7) What was King George VI's first name? Not George.

8) What color is a Purple Finch? Not purple.

9) Where are Chinese gooseberries from? Not a goose. eta: And not China, either!

10) What is the color of the black box in a commercial airplane? Not black.

100% correct!

When did they move the Canary Islands into the Pacific Ocean?

Ha! When England lifted the 2014 World Cup in splendid victory....??? I didn't notice that when I copied it... well spotted. And I suppose BSG gets the prize

I passed (got 2, 3, 4, 6, 9 and 10 right --and I'm giving myself full credit for 3 since either answer is correct).

BTW, I got 2, 3, 6, and 10 correct...plus I'm giving myself double credit for #6, for moving the islands back into the right ocean. (That was hard! I had to tow them all the way around Cape Horn, since they wouldn't fit through the Ecuador Canal...)

I got #s 1 (115 is close enough), 3, 4, 6, 7, 10.
