I got 84%, I missed the fastest bird, lowest prime number, and state that isn’t part of the 4 corners.

1 wrong – Four Corners state.

2 Wrong — Gulf Coast States and Lowest Prime Number.

89%

Bah, I missed the 4 corner question even after seeing that others had missed it!

94%. The one I got wrong was the term for a US representative. I read it as president. :smack:

Well you kinda either know it or ya don’t.

Maybe these are 5th grade questions but I don’t think my 6th grade kid could answer them, unless she happened to have just studied the subject matter.

I got two wrong: Lowest prime number, and fastest bird.

2 wrong - fastest bird and lowest prime number.

I got 100%, but I wasn’t sure about fastest bird. I also had to think about turtle classification and four corners state.

1 wrong – term for the House of Representatives.

I missed the turtle and the Four Corners state.

94% – said NM instead of AZ for the Grand Canyon.

Not too bad for a furriner! :smiley:

1 wrong, lowest prime

100%. Do I win something?

94% - missed the lowest prime number. Never have been good at math.

94%, but only because I’m an idiot.

Me: Well, that’s three and three and one. 5!
Sir Galahad: Seven, sir.
Me: SEVEN!

Ok, the last two lines didn’t happen. :slight_smile: I’ve got the knowlege, I just don’t have any skills in basic arithmetic (compounded by going through without double checking). I’d tank on “Can you add better than a Kindergartner”.

Pikers!
100% :slight_smile:

Where’s my million bucks?

I have some sort of weird mental block when it comes to turtles. Snakes, I know; frogs are easy. But every time I have to remember “so, what is a turtle, anyway?” I go blank and guess wrong.

94% - apparently I’m the only one here who didn’t know the equinox. I guessed august
