I only got 6 out of 10 correct, but did learn about the 4 that I didn’t know the correct answer! Thanks, Marian
I got 5 out of 10! WOW!
I got 5 out of 10, which is more than I expected.
I did fairly well, except with the dolls!

I got only one incorrect. I figured I would probably only get one correct!
And why did you have the answers upside down for this ? I got a stiff neck!
Well, I got 5 out of 10, but I didn’t think I’d get that. Trying to learn, but it’s hard…. I’m interested in so may catagories, hard to learn a little about everything. But
I’ll keep on.
Fun! I got 80%. If you knew the topic at all, it was too easy. By the way, if you were supposed to be able to click on the answers, it wasn’t working.
That was fun. . .
I really enjoy this kind of activity.
Thanks
