I’m with **BarnOwl**. Affter reading through all of the questions, I could find none that I knew for sure. The two that I thought might be right turned out to be wrong. That quiz is not for people like me. ---

I got 44 but it didn’t tell me which ones were correct and what the right answers were, and I’m not joining up just to find out! ---

48, which isn’t great, but given the number of questions I had no reason to know the answers to, isn’t horrible either. (I’m always horrid at pop culture questions). I am a little annoyed by how easily I could have gotten another 4-12 points by picking the OTHER answer on a couple that I narrowed down to 2 possibles. ---

Twicks, I still couldn’t get the site to work right, but from your answer key, I got 11 out of 25. Gotta say that it was a really Smart, enjoyable quiz. Well-written with good segues and turns of phrase. Ya go, Gal! ---

I got a 56. From one editor to another: I also noticed a few errors (not among the answers, so no need for a spoiler box): Question 13 – Correct spellings are Desi **Arnaz** and Melanie **Griffith** Questions 22, 23 – It’s **Procter** and Gamble Since I live in Tippecanoe County, I’d have had no excuse to miss #15! ---

BTW, you guys kicked ass – anything over 52 is impressive, based on the scores I’ve seen. ---

I only got a 48. ☹ But I had to guess a lot. But I certainly knew the Siamese-twin question. 🙂 ---

I believe the answer to #5 is wrong. Bing and Frank co-starred in High Society. So there is no correct answer. eta: Although they did not co-star as showbiz partners, if that’s what you meant. Clarify? ---

[QUOTE=Shirley Ujest] 52. Would do again! Two thumbs up! A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ [/QUOTE] So, you’re saying that it needs improvement? I think that a flawless review necessitates 48 “+” symbols. 😉 I guess I’m not old enough for the test to be really relevant to me. I got bored/annoyed after less than a dozen questions. ---

As you can see, I’m quibbling because of my disappointingly low score - 52. I also question #7: Patty Duke played identical cousins in her tv show; was there some other place where she played identical twins? Diabolical! ---
**Author:** ![twickster](https://avatars.discourse-cdn.com/v4/letter/t/ec9cab/32.png) [@twickster](https://boards.straightdope.com/u/twickster)\ **Post date:** [September 1, 2007, 2:22pm UTC](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/more-twickery/417441/35 "2007-09-01T14:22:13Z")
**Roderick Femm** Answer to your first question: I’d forgotten about “High Society” – which I’ve never seen, actually, despite the Cole Porter soundtrack – the '50s were a weird decade for musicals… anyway, I’d forgotten about it, but will defend my answer on the loophole you suggested. He and Fred played partners in “Holiday Inn”; he and Hope in several Road films; and he and Danny Kaye in “White Christmas.” So … harder than I’d intended, since I’d thought Crosby and Sinatra hadn’t appeared together in a movie at all – shoulda checked that better – but still correct. Answer to your second question: I said twins, not “twin sisters/brothers.” So yeah, Patty and Cathy were “cousins – identical cousins all the way.” Since that was the gimmick of the show, I count it as legit. You can’t get four more points though unless you can identify Susan Lucci playing her own twin on a soap or sitcom – TV movies, if any, wouldn’t count. ETA: 52 is a real respectable score – it’s as high as anyone at OKCupid is doing. ---
