Happy Prez Day ...now take the quiz...

[M.D. Holloway]

Can you pass a basic 10-question quiz on the presidents? - Yahoo! News

I guessed on two and got them right. Some easy, some not so but...

[gassy]

I got three right. I'm awesome.

4/10.

Max has been in Pre-AP history all year and its been kicking his tail, been studying with him so its a bit fresh...The Teddy R, Ford and Hoover ones were pure logic, the confed was a guess I got right - all the others were from his class notes review I do with him at night.

Me too. 4 out of 10.

[Erakad]

6 out of 10...could have had 8

I got a little over half right too. They aren't "basic" questions. Some where, and some were pretty good questions that required some good knowledge. But some were the historical version of Trivial Pursuit. Although I could kick myslef for not remembering that Jackson, Like Tildon, won the popular vote but lost the electoral college. I saw Tildon and didn't even think to look any further. The last Whig, who's portrait is who's, those aren't really serious questions with historical significance. But if you do know that off the top of your head, chances are you do know a lot of stuff that is historically significant.

I agree. A better quiz would focus on which presidents achieved what changes in the US, and things of that nature.

[romad]

30 % and I considered my history knowledge substantially better than the average bear. But ready whose dog is it? and I though old Rutherford carried more weight.

[flatbutt]

Trivia at best and meaningless in terms of history.

Quiz Completed

Thank you for completing our quiz on the presidents!

You scored 90%!

[ossiblue]

8/10, but I taught U.S. history. Agree that many were basically trivia and don't indicate much beyond useless knowledge (campaigning with King Tut?, c'mon.) Even with the experience I had in teaching, much of the information would not be included in typical courses. Still, it's fun to know what you don't know.

[vash]

i got a 50...FAIL!

[Aggie93]

Another 4/10. I actually knew those. Thought I would have gotten at least one guess right. There were about 3 I could narrow down to 2.

[flatbutt]

If you fail at something that is useless...does that mean you are useful?

[MRM]

The fact that this quiz was kind of a "gotcha" trivial pursuit game does not detract from the Luberter's achievement in scoring a perfect 10. I did not mean to diminish his accomplishment.

The dog pic was half logic - the B&W and the breed put it in the right decade plus I remember my Dad telling me about King Tut the dog . The port of the bearded dude was a guess as was the confed.
