I got 59 out of 60. Should’ve been 60 — fought with myself and lost on the one I missed.

That’s impressive. I got 57 out of the 60. I missed the final battle of the Revolutionary War (Yorktown), when Jamestown was founded, and that the Monroe Doctrine discouraged the formation of more western colonies in the Americas (I should have got the Monroe Doctrine one since I knew the correct answer was correct . . . but thought that it might have included the term Manifest Destiny). The other two I was just flat wrong about.
Anyway congrats on 59 out of 60. Which one did you miss?
You weren’t asking me but I have a funny story about the only question I missed. I also got 59/60 and the only one I missed I actually knew the answer to but thought it was a trick question and tried to think as I thought the test-maker was thinking rather than just answering the question..... it was the one about highest govt. spending in the past 20 years, and I knew it was Social Security, but I answered military because I figured the correct answer was so obvious that the test-makers were trying to trick people with some provision about Social Security coming from a different type of budget, etc. I wasn’t sure of any details about how Social Security is actually listed in the federal budgets so I figured we were being set up for a trick answer. Ah, well, next time just answer the question as it appears!
GregF: I missed the one about Plato’s Republic, which I should have gotten, but I shouldn’t complain because there were a couple I had to guess on.
