A good assortment …. and no puns!
Thanks, but it’s only Monday 😉
But it’s no-pun Monday.
What an epic fail for me – too many US questions – I only got 3 right. While I know some of the broad facts of American history, some of this was just too specific for me as a Canadian. Still love your post though!
I thought that after I had it done. I’ll try to make it a bit more multi-national next time.
Don’t worry about changing it for me
Hey, the customer is always right!
I got 9 of the 15 correct, but I’ll admit that #s 4 and 11 were complete guesses. 😀
Guesses always count, especially good guesses 🙂
