    17 out of 19. I flubbed the Canadian border one (with western states), and picked the wrong one for guaranteed rights. Overall it wasn't too tough. But why does it matter if someone knows the minimum age for a president? Another concept question would be better. Or how about something useful like what are your Miranda rights?

    16/19....not my best work.

    ...and that question with the so-called correct answer of "The Civil War" is incorrect. The correct answer is the "War of Northern Aggression." ;):D

    That was an oddly worded question as well.

    Stereotypes become stereotypes because of their root in truth.

    Now go look up the word "probably" and report back. A non-definitive statement of opinion, a la

    Bush is the worst president of all time.

    I have no idea how well those who cling to the notion that Bush is any good would score on that test. I suspect not well. My opinion. Don't like it? Don't care.

    18/19 for me. Just missed the one about the two states that border Canada. Always sucked at geography.

    The rest of the questions were easy for me as I've always been interested in history and current events.

    18/19.... I missed the one about what inspired the constitution... I put Federalist Papers as opposed to Philadelphia convention.... with such easy questions, why did they need to dumb it down by showing you a picture of the right answer?
