I missed one through not reading carefully enough. God 60% as is. Good test, though the Roosevelt item was odd and something only a true geek on him personally would even have run across, much less have remembered.

[thecodont]

I got the Roosevelt question, because I read the bio by Edmund Morris. Good book.

Thanks. I got 60% right. I guess I still have a lot to learn about American history.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

53%

Now if they had a test regarding Early American History, I would do much better.

[Yorlik803]

86% here...Forget the Olympics, I am going pro.

[Alas Babylon!]

I got 93%. got every one except the patent. I did not know Lincoln held a patent.

I'll admin I was kinda "shaky" on a couple of the questions....
I Thought I was giving the right answer...
But....
I'll admit I wasn't perfectly sure.......
I got 'em all though......

[SunkenCiv]

Nicely done! I flat-out guessed on a few of ‘em, most of my guesses were wrong. :’(

[GoLightly]

You got 73% correct.

[SunkenCiv]

Here's the first page (George Washington) of presidential portraits similar to (but larger format than) the ones used in the quiz.

[ChocChipCookie]

60% correct. Yikes. Some pretty obscure facts there, but still I thought I knew my U.S. history a bit better than that.

Oh no, the bandwidth for the Trib will be awesome:
