I missed to many not happy will try sometime soon .
The quiz. Answers my. Questions. Before. I. Can.k
We played it together. He was born in 10952 & I was born in 1954. We got a B. He did better than me
I got the 79% But, I just thought, I was born in 56 so the history books, etc. probably weren’t updated yet???
79% that is basic “C” work I WAS an “A” student NOT happy, but it was the SPORTS that got this 🐥
I did poorly on the questions about specific dates.
There was a lot I had forgotten.
I passed with a D and was born in 55. I should have passed with at least a B. LMFAO
Very challenging, educational and fun.
Sorry. My previous comment was incorrect.
It was supposed to indicate what my IQ is. It did not do that.
Challenging
Considering I was born Dec 1962. I did okay
I liked it. It covered a lot in the sixties, so I did a lot of guess work. Could there be some Bible quiz also, that will be nice. Thanks.
Was way longer than anticipated I am an 80s baby but was curious what I remembered from history and some of it I would never have known anyways cuz not a sports person and don't follow actor/actress stuff
It was fun! It was great remembering some things I had forgotten about!
It was great made me think alot of the questions were during my younger days.
I was only 8 years old when 1970 rolled around and I made what would be considered a “C” average!
Good questions
