I got an 83%. Did anybody get 100 the ones I got wrong a lot of people got wrong just curious

I scored 80, thought I would do better, since I was born in ‘62. If my brain was a 20 years old compared to 63 years old, I think I would have done better.

Ok I guess

Ripple by the Grateful Dead starts with the lyrics " If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine ", not "Reach out your hand if your cup be empty ". Those lyrics come after the first chorus.
