What do you mean, you failed?

Me, too!

[LadyFitz...]

I got two of them right. Does that mean I'm half-passed?

[Gerryl]

I only got 1 so I am hoping the administrator is graded this on a curve.

[nctox]

I didn't get many right, but at least I knew the obvious answer wasn't correct.

[Nick-B]

You've all been fooled. It is a trick question.
The real answer is: All of the above.

[Gordon Dewald]

I guess I am not elderly enough. A number of my friends know the answers. They said they would tell me when I got old enough.

My Panama Hat is from Equator...

I got two of them ... but then again, I'm not quite "elderly" yet. I'm sure I will improve with age!!! Thanks for duping us! \ken

[LadyFitz...]

Actually, I should have answered "42" to all of them.

[Thornhammer]

got 1 right so we are graded on the curve

[osok]

Only one I got correct was the black box; everyone knows it's orange.

[TLGPE]

I got four:
1. The Hundred Years War was 116 years.
3. Cat gut is from sheep.
6. The Canary islands are named for dogs (canaris), but they are in the Atlantic, not the Pacific.
10. Everybody knows the black box is orange.


Now if I could just remember why you asked...and who are you.........
