You should indicate that this quiz is mainly for Americans. This has nothing to do with memory. You either know the answe or not. One cannot remember what one doesn't know. Nevertheless I score 80.

[@paullewis2413]

Agreed. Nothing to do with memory when some of the answers were names you’ve never heard of, particularly if you’re not a U.S. citizen. I hate to think what the average U.S. person of say 18 to 25 would score - hmm maybe 10 - 😂

There's a person in there somewhere, but even your avatar tells me you feel the need to hide. Why are you so afraid, my friend, and of WHAT? I mean you no harm; quite the contrary, I'd like to help you conquer your fears. I spent a lifetime protecting people, and studying in Universities, hoping to make a difference. Clearly I have plucked a nerve with you, or you'd have moved on! How can I help you? What do YOU think I can do to help you in your struggles?

Q18. Ireland declared as aRepublic in April 1949 not 1961. Really a very serious error!!. Even though most of the questions were 'American' I got 82 correct. And I am 75 , was born in, have always lived in Ireland.

And imagine Éamon de Valera or Sean Lemass as .. socialists ..? Brendan Corish, with his mild Leo XIII/ John XXIII change of attitude in Ireland/ Christian Socialist stuff*, in the Labour Party .. but, I mean really, please - make me laugh, do ...! *'Socialist by the Seventies' .. well it is rare and 'socialistic' now - if central State Control is anything to go by. ;o)

[@maryannshaw-uc1ke]

The questions I missed seemed a little obscure, and were ones I had never heard of before. Also, the questions for the 50’s were harder, as were the one with no choices. I think we all hear things, and they fly away without being stored in our memory banks, and it’s easier to think that then to think that something else. Some of these tests have similar questions, so maybe if I take all of them…….
