A US History Quiz...

[Lord Jim]

29/30, only a couple of guesses (this is one of my strongest areas of interest)

Some easy ones, some more obscure ones as well...

The link text to the quiz on the CNN site says "Only 1 in 50 people can pass this US history quiz"...

If that's true (and assuming they're talking about "American people") that is profoundly depressing...

28/30

I didn't know George Washington's salary or how many acres were in the Louisiana Purchase. A couple of others were pure guesses, and a couple of others only by process of elimination.

[Lord Jim]

I knew Washington's salary, the number of acres in the Louisiana Purchase was one of my correct guesses...

I guessed wrong on the Dutch Gilders question...

28/30

I didn't know George Washington's salary or how many acres were in the Louisiana Purchase. A couple of others were pure guesses, and a couple of others only by process of elimination.

This exactly, except I knew the salary, but missed the acreage and the WW1 message question.

But thanks to The West Wing, I did know which president got a big wheel of cheese.

[Big RR]

29/30--missed the salary one--a few lucky guesses as well.

[Burning Petard]

25/30 sad, so sad!

I'm embarrassed to admit I only got 23 right. (And a couple were instances where I said "D'OH! I knew that!!!" immediately after seeing the correct answer.... )
