Time for a Quiz! How well do you know the U.S. Presidents? Take this quiz and find out.[More:]
Me - 10/15. I would have one one more correct if I had gone with my first guess.
14/15

46%! :(

46%. Bearing in mind I hadn't heard of half of them, that's not bad.

66%, almost entirely guessing.

53% here, too (good thing I'm not a history teacher). I knew I had the Taft one right. There's a stout, smiling statue of him outside the law school at the Univ. of Cincinnati, where he graduated (I went there for most of a semester; I left before finals). It is a very good law school (facilities and program). Just wasn't for me. (I get nervous when I have to make an argument.)

I used to have a book of Presidents. It ended with Ford, though. I remember he was born July 14th, same as me, in 1913, same as my father.

(Go brujita!)

73% right. I always did like history. Just for a tidbit: The house I grew up in, on Harrison Avenue, belonged to John Scott Harrison. He was the son of William Henry Harrison, and the father of Benjamin Harrison. Digging as kids we found the remnants of a brick building deep in the yard behind the house, and a nearly disintegrated horse shoe. The house received an historic plaque in the '70s, but was torn down in the '00s, much to my dismay.

His body was robbed from his grave (found later).


The trick question was the one I got wrong.

Holy shit, 26%. I pretty much just guessed everything. Way to go, public school education!
