45- I was guessing on all of the questions about authorship. I have never read any of those works.
And I would argue that the Revolutionary War did not end at Yorktown.0 -
44 of 60 and missed the easy ones. But hey, I'm a college drop out and I scored better than Harvard seniors averaged. I know, that's a pretty low standard to set for myself. 0 -
It's down to 33 questions, and as you might guess, a huge portion of American Idol watchers flunked out.
Same link is good for the quiz if you want to give it a try. Here's a late story, election-related, which reports how few college grads & elected officials managed to pass.

It's the same link that goes to the quiz set up by the same folks, so I'm guessing they reduced the number of questions 'cause the 60 questions were too hard for the 11/08 crowd. Those that took the earlier quiz deserve an asterisk by their score.

Considering that alleged college educators in the states averaged 55%, I'd say you can consider yourself an honorary American.
Not to mention our own leaders:
Amazingly enough, this sample's 164 self-identified elected officials know even less than laymen. They averaged only 44, as the blind lead the bland. Among office holders, 30 percent did not know that the Declaration of Independence heralds "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."0 -
Where is the 60 ? quiz ?? I took the 33 question and missed 6 for a score of 81.82%
Not bad. [:)]
Congratulations Jim. You beat me. Wonder where HB is. Think he'd be honest about his results ??? Just kidding.0 -

"33) If taxes equal government spending, then:
A. government debt is zero
B. printing money no longer causes inflation
C. government is not helping anybody
D. tax per person equals government spending per person
E. tax loopholes and special-interest spending are absent"
The quiz told me I picked the wrong choice, but I'm not sure I believe that the government as spent as much on me as it has collected in taxes... or am I not understanding C?0 -

that's the same one I got wrong...
I assumed if the government ALWAYS balanced spending and taxation then the debt WOULD BE zero...
I also disagree with tax= spending per capita...0 -

400+ Hits....only about 20 scores posted
Of that group, the vast majority only missed a couple.
Go figure [:)]0 -
While I was taking the quiz I thought it was fairly easy, but I guess it wasn't as easy as I thought. [:D]
If you're old or spend much time in General Discussion you remember most of that stuff.
Some of those hits could be a year old.0 -

You are correct, Sir. The Revolutionary War ended in Paris. It sounds like it was a poorly worded question if they wanted Yorktown as the answer.0 -
