Only got 5. Went too fast on the Beatles album (didn’t clock the year) and picked the wrong affair. Probably should have given myself a half-point on the African treaty organization, but decided not to. The 1% answer was crazy… I find it hard to believe even 1% know who that person is without searching. ---
