I love reading about the Presidency. A bit too much, I guess! Bottom 5? Ouch. Still had fun. Thanks. ---

> [@Elendil\_s\_Heir](#): > > I love reading about the Presidency. A bit too much, I guess! Bottom 5? Ouch. Yes, if you know too much about a subject, you know the obscurer answers. (Try William Henry Harrison as a former general, or Millard Fillmore as a former vice-president next time, if there is one). To get good marks here, you need only know what most people know. ---
