Missed the quiz...........now I know the answers I can go back and take the Quiz! :-)
C'mon, Liz, you have to know that's cheating!
I'll have to go back and read the questions as well! Tricky tricky way to get us to two blogs :)
OK...I'm printing out the answers because making a game out of the quiz won't be any fun without them.
I was right...I new the correct answers to only 5...had a pretty good hunch on 7 or 8 more that I got right and just got lucky on another 15...so 27 out of 40 is not very good, is it? Thats only a 67% And I love history...
Thanks for putting this together.
Aja, it is isn't it :)
Sandy, not unless you KNEW the answers :)
John, you are probably way ahead of the pack. There are some pretty obscure questions there.
Hi Jane! Well, I too, missed the quiz! We had a Thanksgiving quiz in Rotary this morning and surprisingly, there was not alot of knowledge on the topic--at least in the 'turkey' questions!! Hope you have a wonderful weekend, week and Thanksgiving!
Very cool.
I love getting little bits of Trivia like this.
Thanks for taking the time to put this together.
Thank you, Debe. Sorry you didn't have the cheat sheet with you. Have a great Thanksgiving yourself.
Ralph, you are most welcome.
Jane, I glanced over the questions, but I didn't keep track of my answers...I have a feeling I didn't do too well! :)
Leilani
Ah, but you can go back and try again, Leilani. No excuses :)
I got an A but only because I graded on the curve.
What was the curve based on, Will? :) And congratulations, I see you broke the 100K mark.
I missed the whole Thanksgiving quiz. Luckily I have the answers now.
You know, Haris, I thought better of you too.
