Members alwaysAMC Posted September 16, 2006 Members Share Posted September 16, 2006 I got 5 out of 8. I missed the Supercontinent question, the WW1 question (I thought WW1 started bc of the attack on Poland?), and then the members of Congress - I was off by 10 - I couldn't remember the # of House members. I got all the others right, although I'll admit I had to guess on the Romeo/Juliet question as I only remembered the characters Romeo, Juliet, and Mercutio.

Members Sweet_VeeVee24 Posted September 16, 2006 Members Share Posted September 16, 2006 Since I love science, history and literature, I got those right...I even managed to guess on the political question.... I got 8 out of 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SouthOfSoap Posted September 16, 2006 Members Share Posted September 16, 2006 I got 7/8 - got the super continent wrong. WW2 was Germany invading Poland. WW1 was with the the Archbishop Ferdinand killing in Bosnia (Serbia at the time). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Keith Posted September 16, 2006 Members Share Posted September 16, 2006 5 out of 8. Missed Geometry, Supercontinent, and Senate. I'd never heard of those other super continents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alwaysAMC Posted September 16, 2006 Members Share Posted September 16, 2006 Are you sure? lol - I could have sworn that WW1 started bc of the Blitzkrieg (sp?) of Poland. I mean I guess you're probably right... EDIT: Ok I did some research - yeah the Blitzkrieg of Poland happened in 1939 (WW2) I'm glad y'all helped me get my facts right now!

Members Ms. Walsh Posted September 16, 2006 Members Share Posted September 16, 2006 7 out of 8. I got the stupid last one wrong! Grrrrrr. The only choice I had heard of was Pangea b/c it was mentioned on that show Dinosaurs. --Yeah, Blitzkrieg was a tactic used by Hitler and the Nazi army to invade Poland, which caused England and France to declare war on Germany, starting WWII. WWI broke out mostly b/c of alliances that the powers in Europe had formed in the years prior to it. It was sparked by the assination of the Archduke Ferdinand. I think Austria invaded Serbia, and then a whole bunch of other countries got involved via the alliance systems. --I read R&J in 9th grade, but somehow remembered that Tybalt (Juliet's cousin) killed Mercutio (Romeo's friend), and then Romeo killed Tybalt, and then somehow Paris (the guy who was supposed to marry Juliet) dies too. So Benvolio was the only choice left. And Benvolio and Tybalt were foils, right? B/c Tybalt was the villain, and Benevolio's name is supposed to mean "good". --The Geometry one was really hard. I know that the area of a triangle is 1/2BH (the base times the height, divided by 2), but I forgot all the mumbo-jumbo about formulas for isosceles triangles, so I used the Pythagorean (s/p) theorem to solve it...blah.
