    dittto - what was your percent score, Dr. Lightman?

    (if it weren't for Shakespeare and some book Euclid wrote -- I'd have been perfect. I scrod the pooch pretty badly on the Shakespeare Qs... though I do know what scheme of verse he - mostly - used!)

    I think that I knew the answers to most of those questions in high school, and all of the ones I got right before I finished college, though.

    I feel the same way about my Uncle Psilocybin. He was a great "influence" on my education.

    Thank gawd I took Latin and was good in science and decent in history before I dropped out of high school or I would have bombed. 89...good enough for me.


    I hate to read but actually did well with the Shakespeare questions. Had a great sophomore HS English teacher

    Short story (reflection)---My sophomore Eng teacher was 1st in line behind Christa Mcauliffe(RIP). Krista was the teacher selected to as an astronaut for the Challenger Mission that blew up. A bitter sweet/shock and aw in my youth. :/:'(

    Anyway, fun quiz
    2-channel: Modwright KWI-200 Integrated, Dynaudio C1-II Signatures
    Desktop rig: LSi7, Polk 110sub, Dayens Ampino amp, W4S DAC/pre, Sonos, JRiver
    Gear on standby: Melody 101 tube pre, Unison Research Simply Italy Integrated
    Gone to new homes: (Matt Polk's)Threshold Stasis SA12e monoblocks, Pass XA30.5 amp, Usher MD2 speakers, Dynaudio C4 platinum speakers, Modwright LS100 (voltz), Simaudio 780D DAC

    That's 15 minutes I won't get back. Didn't want to be a quitter. 90%...I don't know why I start these things. That's one of the reasons I left FB.

    Scored phd, but I am pissed with that result because my iPad kept shifting the screen right as I was about to touch an answer. Truthfully, I would have only missed three questions out of all of them.
    The Gear... Carver "Statement" Mono-blocks, Mcintosh C2300 Arcam AVR20, Oppo UDP-203 4K Blu-ray player, Sony XBR70x850B 4k, Polk Audio Legend L800 with height modules, L400 Center Channel Polk audio AB800 "in-wall" surrounds. Marantz MM7025 stereo amp. Simaudio Moon 680d DSD

    I don't know why this quiz assumed I was a woman, though.

    I'm not sure if this quiz is correct when it makes this statement:

    " ... and until the early 20th century it was a book that all educated people would have read".

    I'm pretty sure that this book is required reading in today's K-12 system. B)

    I was a PhD with only 78%. Missed some easy questions that I kicked myself on as soon as I picked.

    I am impressed with the scores of y'all.

    Just a High School graduate 71% here. I also could kicked myself on 2 questions. Anything to do with Shakespeare was a wild guess. :)
