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.

[@thePersonGuise]

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.

[@macforme]

I was rooting for you the whole time.

[@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.

[@Lievyon]

I'm 50 and got 5...I would guess the average millennial would get 1 maybe =)

[@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.

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

[@steves6756]

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

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.

[@sine_fine]

I'm 92 and I was raised by wolves in the forest. Never been to school a day in my life. There are book smarts, street smarts, and forest smarts. I got all 15 correct.

[@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

[@catherinehenry6762]

I guessed the sneeze question because I speak French and the French word for sneezing is ETERNUER which seems (to me, anyway) pretty close to STERNATION. The 2 words have the root TERN in common. I've also noticed that, in French, words that begin with E-T often come out, in English as S-T. Example: The french word ETAT translates in English as STATE , and the French word ETABLISSEMENT translates in English as ESTABLISHMENT. Sorry but I can be an incorrigible geek.🙄🙄🙄

[@jm1657]

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!

[@mickeydell4310]

I’m 60 years young, and got 12/15. I changed my mind on one question, which I originally had correct. Always go with your first instinct. I love these type of quizzes, where broad based knowledge enhances your ability to make smart decisions. Great quiz! Best regards from a former Princeton Tiger.

[@Yvon-uu6oc]

Oh good for you!

[@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.

[@stephenhamblin-gf7hv]

I am 43 and I got five correct. I would love to see more quizzes like this .

[@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

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.

[@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.

[@user-cu1tl2bd1g]

@@user-gt7xs1fc6g I think you're right. It's worth a try. and a lot better than leaving the question blank.

[@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.

nice!!!

[@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👍
