I am 82yrs old and managed to get 8. One of the most challenging quizzes ever. Not filled with inane pop or sports stars that are here today and gone tomorrow.

[@malteseowl]

I am 79 next week and got NINE - I was surprised that it was so easy.

[@Jiggerj01830]

I'm 68. I got 7 and I'm happy with it.

[@_BLACKSTAR_]

Agreed, that was a reasonable all around quiz.I was pretty shocked at some of them that I wasn't sure on, but knew 5 of them for sure.Maybe when I turn 82 (if I get that far) I will manage 8.But I had absolutely no clue on 5 of them.

[@StormyPeak]

I'm a 60 year old woman.. I also got 8 of them, and If I just would have not second guessed myself on 2 of the questions, I would have had 10 of them correct. :P

[@binarybox.binarybox]

I'm a similar age and got 7 and agree about unnecessary facts about "stars".

[@fredkelly6953]

Glad they gave relatively complete answers so we can at least learn from the exercise.

[@davestableford1516]

I’m 70, left school at 15, retired at 53 and got 8/15. Quite happy with that score.

[@RobertMurphy-sx8lc]

Me too !

[@lindiharris-axon8167]

Same age, left highschool at same age (although i did get GED and. college later and I only got 7.

[@JamesClose-76hh]

That's quite an impressive score.

[@larryproffer8603]

Apparently my four years in the tenth grade were inadequate😢. I’d be really impressed with anyone that actually knew the correct answers to >50% of the questions.

[@slowturtle6745]

8 and disappointed with my performance.

[@isabelwood1671]

I’m nearly 79 and had a good education, but I only got about 5. Hard quizzes are much more fun though, you learn from them. Thank you.

[@jamesyates3383]

I'm 54 with only a HS Diploma and I squeezed six correct answers. This IS a difficult quiz but interesting, informative, and fun!

[@deanevangelista6359]

I’m 63 with the same credentials, and got 6.

[@steves6756]

I got 6. 3 were guesses. 3 were educated guesses.

[@patbrennan6572]

At least three of my seven were shots in the dark.

[@Jetmab04]

Likewise - 6 correct...maybe we'll be better when we turn 80 🤗

[@joannayeo9545]

I’m 57 with no qualifications but managed to also get six correct but by sheer guess work. If there hadn’t been multiple answers to choose from I would have got none right.

[@charitobarragantorres51]

I must admit I missed most of them, but I learned interesting info I didn’t know. Thank you, was a lot of fun!

[@quiznook]

Hey I’m glad you had fun, thanks for playing!

[@Isleofskye]

@@quiznook I struggled and let 3 more obvious answers go and changed too late so just 2, I'm afraid but a question for you my friend. In the questions where was your mistake? :)

[@matteg490]

I wasn't interested in most categories. So boring to me, and they didn't cover the fields I know best so I got only 5. But I played a synthesizer along with the music, so maybe I didn't concentrate. Usually I run the board on Jeopardy.

[@tytn9978]

I don''t mind not doing well (8 correct, though mostly good/lucky? guesses). I do appreciate the explanations for some of the interesting answers!

[@lindaross783]

I'm 73, a nurse and have a master's degree and I sucked big time at this. I even missed the sneeze question. Hats off to the brainiacs here. Had fun!

[@nickperez7553]

I guessed on the one on what animal had 3 hearts but guessed right on the octopus 😂

[@cheriem432]

I have a medical background and I didn't get the sneezing one either!

[@deborahlamartiniere6349]

I got it right then changed the answer lol

[@fredvaladez3542]

I got about three right but the questions were totally fascinating. Loved it.

[@timcarr6401]

I got three right also. Total guesses.

[@thegonz9]

Getting 3 right is impressive!😂

[@Yvon-uu6oc]

I agree, it was fascinating to see the answers to the ones I got wrong. Never too old to learn something.

[@PeBoVision]

Pushing 70 here, and I got 6, suggesting that age is helpful in general knowledge quizzes. The quiz was also well paced so I never felt pressed to aswer quickly, providing opportunity for reflection. An old fart brain, given time to process a question, is a bottomless font of trivial knowledge. So although I didn't get a passing grade, it wasn't particularly difficult.

[@JamesClose-76hh]

Our quizzes give you a little more time also but not as difficult as this one.

[@jamesdurant1071]

DIDDO AND 82

6 here. Sad to think you would get about 4 just by guessing. I think there were 2 correct that I completely guessed on.

I'm a 67-year-old retired, balding and nearsighted absentminded scientist. As such, the pressure was on, but I did it... 15 for 15! I'd like to thank my wife, my family, all my good friends and all my great fans that helped make this once in a lifetime dream come true! Thank you and God bless.

I was rooting for you the whole time.

[@Jules0229]

Fascinating information! I only got 4 right.

[@janetkizer5956]

Okay! I got 9, so I'm pretty happy. The thing about getting on in years is that you tend to pick up all kinds of weird and wonderful bits of knowledge. It's fun to find some use for it all.

[@mike196212]

Well done as well! Two better than myself.

Yes but I now have So much useless knowledge that it takes me a minute to filter through all the data I've stored in the personal computer of My Brain. 😊✌️

Usually these kinds of quizzes exaggerate how hard they will be. This was tricky...only got 5 right and I typically am really good a trivia. Good job.

[@ronhilton9614]

Excellent quiz. Most trivia quizzes on youtube have me rolling my eyes. I got 4, admittedly 2 by guessing. The champagne is still on me.

[@barbarag866]

I am 80 and enjoy the challenge of quizes ! I believe i got 6 correct ! Thanks, i enjoyed it

[@peternolan4107]

Very difficult. I got eleven correct, so I get to be snarky. I am 73 and went to school when education in this country actually worked. Also we were encouraged to engage in life-long learning, instead of parking our asses in front of the TV -- or now our phones.

[@quiznook]

That is impressive! Yes, times have changed, and will keep changing in ways we can’t imagine. Technology is taking over every single aspect of our lives. We shall see where this all goes! Thank you Sir for sharing.

[@danielbrooks4474]

Amen to all you wrote. I, too, got 1o correct, and I am 71. I remember when the educational system in this God-blessed nation was really special, before liberal unions got a hold of it and began to turn our schools into liberal, Democrat indoctrination centers.

[@williamhawthorne1175]

Agreed; I got eight and feel that was good, but eleven, very impressive!

[@user-sz5nu4dc2u]

From your reply I deduced that you are a USA citizen, and you complain about current schools. I live in arkest Africa where education is rudimentary at best. A current survey indicated that 40 % of our Grade 6 teachers can only read and do Math at Grade 4 level. 82yr old auto didact.

[@user-gt7xs1fc6g]

oI was taught very early in high school that on multiple choice questions, if you guess you will be right much more often than wrong because often the brain can follow the path of the guess.

[@hotsauce7709]

I'm 75 and got 12/15. Some were guesses after eliminating one or two choices. But I kinda agree that education has gone way down. Anyone ever catch any of the KZbin channels that ask young people very simple questions like "name a continent" or "how old would you be if you were born in 2021?" It's sad how few can answer even some of the simple questions.

[@urizen7613]

Well done; beat me by one.

[@leslieschott754]

Yes, the “knowledge” of today’s students is very poor. We don’t do reading, writing and arithmetic anymore; all the electronics do it for today’s students! How to teach NOT thinking for yourself!

[@patmcgillhastings9657]

I also went to school when education was really EDUCATION and teachers really taught. I am 75 in just a few weeks and my score was 15/15 correct. We were encouraged to keep up with current events and we would also have discussions on what was going on in the world around us, along with all of our other studies. Some of the things going on in our schools today are absolutely appalling. Teaching "gender" craziness to our young people and yes even the little ones in school when some young people in college cannot answer questions on subjects they should have learned in grade school is very disheartening. I fear for our country as things just keep getting worse and worse. Sorry, I just am passionate about this, and deeply concerned.😧 BTW...very good quiz...thank you for your hard work👍
