New Senior's Exam:

You only need 4 correct out of 10 questions to pass.

1) How long did the Hundred Years' War last? I'll guess 96, since it can't be exactly 100

2) Which country makes Panama hats? China of course now. Maybe originated in Cuba or Brazil?
3) From which animal do we get cat gut? Sheep
4) In which month do Russians celebrate the October Revolution? I'll guess November
5) What is a camel's hair brush made of? Squirrel

6) The Canary Islands in the Pacific are named after what animal? A canary bird

7) What was King George VI's first name? I'll guess since it appears so apparent, it's not George. I'll guess Henry

8) What color is a purple finch? Violet

9) Where are Chinese gooseberries from? I'll guess Japan

10) What is the color of the black box in a commercial airplane? Yellow?



Remember, you need only 4 correct answers to pass.
