Happy Independence Day!
. . .to all our American readers.
Now for a quiz.
I passed with 8/10. I am ashamed of one of the ones I got wrong - I essentially misread the question - but the other only 32% got it right. Considering that it's a four option multiple choice - so statistically you'd expect 25% randomly - I'm not too worried about that.

Re: Happy Independence Day!
9/10 I missed the one on the authors of the Federalist Papers. I could protest that the original publication used nom de plume for the authors

Re: Happy Independence Day!
9/10...and I missed the same one snailgate missed, so I can reuse the same excuse he used.
People who are wrong are just as sure they're right as people who are right. The only difference is, they're wrong.

And their math is terrible. It's only the fourth, and they're saying I've already viewed my ten free articles for the month?

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

You got 8 out of 10 right.
Hail to the chief! You passed.
Should have had 9, but clicked before reading all of the multiple guesses on one question.

As soon as I was done taking the test, ICE was at my front door asking for my birth certificate and SSN. I told them my score was low because I was dropped on my head when I was a kid and they gave me a break when I showed them the dent. They said if I wasn't white, they wouldn't have believed my score.
(actually I got a 9)

10/10, but I have to admit I wasn't sure about the answer to the Federalist papers question when I answered it--he just seemed to be the best guess.

10/10, which I attribute to a combination of junior high history classes and episodes of Schoolhouse Rock and the U.S. of Archie during the lead up to the Bicentennial.

Re: Happy Independence Day!
Thank you Scooter. I doubt I could get 4/10 on a similar test about Canada.
