I think this Brit did well (probably better than 90% of our High School or College grads) I’ll admit I did miss the one of the date when Hawaii was annexed as a territory ...

I missed about 4 of them.

BTW, Nixon was not impeached -- he resigned.

I don't think 0.00001% of the entire population could answer that. To me, that would seem to be an aid in keeping bad folks out, just give them a test made up of questions like that.
1- How many fringes on Custer's jacket?

2- At Concord, what was the name of the colonist that fired " The Shot Heard 'Round The World?"

3-- You get the idea.

I did at least as well as he did. I didn't keep a close count.

Officially, I missed 3.

I got the Hawaii question right.

I jumped the gun on the American Revolution question because for some reason I was thinking of the Boston Massacre.

I missed the Liberia question too. And one more I don't remember.
