In making comments with specific answers, please put them in spoiler tags so that others may enjoy the test.
It would be nice to see somebody post tomorrow's test.

How long do you have to answer each one? I had a couple of "tip of the tongue" moments where it took me 5-10 seconds to recall the answer. So, while I knew 13, I might not have gotten 13.
Also, our knowledge has almost no overlap. Out of the ones that I knew, only two were ones that you also knew.
Quote: AxiomOfChoiceI knew the answers to 13 of them, which is not very good, .
I'm still working on number 5. Finland has a coast?
Who knew.
Quote: AxiomOfChoiceHow long do you have to answer each one?
15 seconds. If there is sufficient interest I can post my video capture.
Quote: AxiomOfChoiceAlso, after reading your answer for #13, I still don't get it. Is there a mistake there or am I just being dense?
Sorry, that was a typo. I just fixed it.
Anyone have a good Over/Under Line for Teddys when he sees this? I say 40.
Specifically: 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11, 14, 21, 22, 24, 26, 27 (I wouldn't have known that had it not been for who his opponent was), 28, 31, 35, 37, 42
All downhill on 43-50, can't believe I don't know 43...
Never mind, eighteen correct, I do know #50, got annoyed and gave up reading after 48...lol
Look up #6, you'll smack yourself in the forehead because you've heard it a gazillion times.
Quote: AxiomOfChoiceAlso, after reading your answer for #13, I still don't get it. Is there a mistake there or am I just being dense?
I think his answers wrong. I'm guessing its meant to be the Panama Canal or at least that would have been my answer.
For now, I will take credit for 14 until I get a chance to see the correct answers.
Once again it is confirmed that I need to stick to the High School Jeopardy version.

Thought I got 29 of them right but tringlomane's answers reduced that number to 25.5 and I am sure that the 15 second time limit would have made me miss a few more.
Turns out I had 16 right. It would have been 17, but I came up with Quark, instead of Quantum for

I confused Triton with Titan. Damn! I consider astronomy one of my strong subjects too. I owe somebody 25 push-ups for that one. Regarding, the Puritans, I forgot about them. Not to say it isn't right, but didn't they kind of morph into the Quakers?
Puritans are entirely seperate from Quakers, who are entirely seperate from the Amish.
Puritans - Very strict religious and social values. Every single thing was about God, and if you don't agree, then leave. Or we'll hang you.
Amish - Strict. Be humble and lose the pride, because God. Or leave.
Quakers - Laid back. Everyone is one of God's chil'lun and there's a hundred different sects, not unlike modern Christianity.
Amish- A Documentary was made about their life titled Kingpin
Quakers- Sacrifice their children to the great Oat King
Don't forget Shakers who surprisingly liked to shake.
I'll stick with the simpler orders like the Shriners. Free hat for all new members.
