| I got 55% too, Carol, which wasn't too bad given that several of the questions were on the US and I live in Ireland!

| I got 90%. Missed the ones about the turtle and the prime number. I thought the lowest prime was 1, but they say it's 2. Hmm. A prime number is one that's divisible only by itself and one. And... doesn't 1 qualify?
Ah well, I ain't no Sir Isaac Einstein.  |

| Yeah, I thought the same thing about the prime number one, Rob. 
I got a 60. When did they start teaching all that stuff in 5th grade?!

| I got a 90. I'm not sure why, but when they asked about the Grand Canyon, I was thinking Mount Rushmore. I could blame allergies -but I think I just wasn't paying attention. LOL SO . . . if you want to go to the Grand Canyon - don't ask me to drive you there without a really good map!

| | I somehow got an 85 percent. I haven't kept up with grammar, so I couldn't remember what a compound was. I was about to go with my gut and say airport and I chose something else. |

| PS
A prime number has to have two positive divisors. Itself, and the number one. The number one has only one positive divisor. There are bigger, much better explanations - but that one made sense to me.

Sounds good to me! The bigger and better explanations would just leave me with a headache.  |
