Presidential Trivia

Given the holiday, I thought this would be fun to post:

http://encarta.msn.com/quiz_120/Presidential_Trivia.html

How much do you know about those who used the Oval Office? I saw this on MSN and thought it was pretty clever. Personally I got 6/10 right.

Why Ash, I didn't think you wanted political discussions on here. ^_~ :grin:

I only had 3/10... I guess I'm not American. :lol:

7/10- I passed Apush so this wasn't that hard. I would never have known about question 4 without that class. Of course, I had no idea about 8. He was a bad president, but yeesh...

First the fruit and now assassinations... women are just out to get men.

No, I'm the stupidest of all. I only got 2/10... :hits_self

On a couple of them my first thought was the right answer, but then I would change my mind. I guess you should always go with your first decision...

8/10. In my teen years I collected anything presidental. I'm also somewhat of a history buff.

Pretty good.
Your knowledge of presidential trivia is neither liberal nor conservative. You got 6/10 correct.

I guess I could have done worse...

9/10! Hurrah! Guess I'm not getting rusty on random trivia, like I thought.

Actually, I thought most of those were fairly easy, I just had to sit back and think for bit. Well, ok, that only worked for questions 1-8. And the finally two..9-10, yes, I purely guessed. The funniest thing is; number 9 was the one I guessed at, missed, and then remembered, I knew it! That's the one of all the questions, my good 'ol AP US history teacher would kick me in the shins over.
