Civics Quiz

I got 31 out of the 33 questions correct. I missed the origin of the "wall of separation" quote, and the definition of the Puritans. Supposedly elected officials and Americans average under 50% correct. I actually don't think elected officials would miss so many questions - I'll believe it when I see it with my own eyes.

I got 29- it's funny, I was so worried that I was going to miss some of the older history ones, but those all came out fine. The Puritan one is easy if you've grown up in the north east. I missed two questions about free markets and that FDR wanted to appoint more court judges... I was like, that can't be it, I'm pretty sure that's unconstitutional... ah well.

Danielle tells me it's snowing in Maine.

27 -- higher than the average quiz-taker in November, but not by much.

My 10th grade US history teacher (who was awesome) would be ashamed.

I am not going to tell you which I missed, because it's kind of embarrassing.

75% baby!

go go minimal effort to pass! I wonder how well I would've done if I'd not gotten board half way though....
