Answer 1

Very, very good question, friend!!

I scored 100%. My wife, unfortunately, missed all but one.

Cheers, mate!!

Answer 2

There are some really stupid answers to this question. What gives anybody the idea that 55 is senior? Your parents are still working at that age. Tell you what, I am turning 60 this year. Any of you that think I am old, come take the driving test with me. It will be an 8 hour test, through rain and fog. We will repeat it in a snowstorm. We will drive heavy traffic through the mountains. Let's see which of you could survive it all. I have the experience of well over a million miles of driving on my side. You want to consider a mandatory test at 70? Maybe, but to call people senior who are still productive working members of society, and still paying, in some cases, to put children through school, is asinine. Consider this as well. A 75 year old has an accident and kills someone, and it is on every tv station in the country. An 18 year old has the same accident, and nobody hears about it outside the home town. There is a reason a lot of seniors get maximum discount on insurance, and it is because we drive smarter. I will support regular testing at 70 coupled with regular testing for young drivers under 26.

Answer 3

I also made 100 but was silly enough to do all of the math before reading the last part of the last Question.

Answer 4

Clever quiz.
I also got 100, but the questions made you slow down and think a bit.
Do you know the rest of; "On my way to St. Ives, I met a man with seven wives?

Answer 5

I got out on 5. I've heard a lot of these before, but not 5.

Answer 6

I have heard all of these before but it didnt stop me from getting 2-5 wrong. Great quiz!

Answer 7

I got 'em all correct... in fact, a green house can be made with green bricks. It's a greenhouse (or a green-house) that is made with glass.

Answer 8

Argh! I hate you! I'm not even an adult and I'm losing my intelligence! Ah, well. Time to send this to a friend. Muhahaha...she'll be so insecure that she will fail every test after this one! Yes! Thank you for this torture device.

Answer 9

i passed with flying colors
i've seen most of the questions except for the greenhouse one
i like it

Answer 10

ive heard all of these before but it was a long time, so i really focused on it so i won't miss em again, but darn it i think i missed three. old timers are always great....thanks for the reminder...
