ReplyDeleteI got all of them wrong too, Mevely. We're in a class of our own.
DeleteVery hot and sunny over here in the UK. Too hot to work in the garden. It's about 35*C in the shade. I am clever though, I don't stay in the shade.
God bless.
Well 3 out of 10 ain't bad. Thank you for this fun.
ReplyDeleteWell done, Uglemor. You are better than me. Thank you for visiting us again. We'd like to see you here more often.
DeleteGod bless.
The problem for me in attempting this is that I thought you were actually giving the answers in your questions, Victor - lol! Anyway, I did not do well at all, but this was a fun quiz.
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
Well ... I never realised that! I got these questions and answers from someone by e-mail. I attempted them all wrong and did not even realise there was a (wrong) clue in the question! What does it say about me?
DeleteGod bless you, Martha.
I flunked the test. :( I only knew King George VI's first name.
ReplyDeleteI did not even know that. I thought his first name was King.
DeleteGod bless you, Bill.
I knew the last one. The black box is orange, and I knew the others were not the "obvious" answer but not what the correct answer was. Good test!!
ReplyDeleteWhy do they call it black box, then? One can't believe all that is in the news these days.
DeleteGod bless you, Terri.
and I thought they were all such easy questions!! : ) till I read the answers.
ReplyDeleteYes, I thought so too, Happyone. I got them all wrong.
DeleteGod bless.
And here I thought that I had them all correct 😉
DeleteThis was great Victor!!!
God Bless 💮
It seems we all got most of them wrong, Jan.
DeleteGod bless.
I figured the obvious was incorrect, but I was 0 for 10 guessing.
ReplyDeleteI thought the clues were in the questions; and got them all wrong.
DeleteGod bless you, JoeH.
