[CCIP]

Quick shot at it got me 27/33

Remember that I'm not American, and most of the ones I got wrong had to do with wordings of historical documents

[Torplexed]

28/33. I botched the Socrates, Plato, Aristotle question for one.

[Stealhead]

missed the same amount though not so bad considering how late it is.
did you see the link that shows how elected officials did per answer? pretty sad.You'll have to take it again to see that table
it seems it will be below your score.

never mind wont show your score I got 27/33 that Socrates one threw me as well and I missed the one about Roosevelt
and the Supreme Court and the one about the flood gates was sort of tricky I missed that one. I was gong to post my score but it wont show it in a link.

Oh come on now CCIP at least two or three of those questions would be easy for you the one about sputnik, the Cuban missile Crisis and WWII there are a few giveaways on there most any person who is a subsim regular would know seeing we are all history buffs around here or most of us are.
though according to the chart many elected officials missed those

2% better than college educators. that makes me feel better.

[magic452]

29/33 I have no idea how I missed the "Government of the people"
The one about taxes equaling expenses I miss read deficit not debt in the answer. Plato got me on another. That one is not really a civics question.

got 30/33 - I am quite amazed, had to guess some answers though,

also had Plato & Co wrong, took the relative to one's time answer;
assumed that Roosevelt wanted to impeach judges;
and thought that “Government of the people, by the people, for the people” was in the Declaration of Independence
