      WAY TOO EASY for this 74 yr old. Hard to fail when the the correct answer is painfully obvious. - "What significant political event began in 1950 in Korea, lasting until 1953?"
      Good thing she didn't do a quiz about foods ... "Some people like to put this Blue fruit in their cereal?"
      A) Apple B) Blueberry C) Orange
      Oh darn! Could have sworn the answer was Banana - well I'm stumped! ROFL

    #70 is a bit confusing. Chamberlain declared war on Germany in Sep 1939 and was prime minister for the first 8 months of the war. He was replaced by Churchill in May 1940 who then made that statement. So it wasn’t exactly at the start.

    • @quaver1239
      @quaver1239 4 дні тому

      The first months of the war were the-war-that-wasn't-a war; nothing much visibly happened until about April/May 1940. Perhaps that was what the quiz means by "at the start"? A number of the questions are weird anyway, like the repeated ones in slightly different format, and those that have the answers within the questions!!

    • @donaldgrimes6403
      @donaldgrimes6403 День тому

      @ good point, but I always figured the start of a war was when it was declared. And, it certainly was for Poland, since they were invaded. I suppose it’s just matter of perspective, though.

The Numerous repeat questions were not enjoyable. Maybe cut back on the number of questions and do more research.

    You would have to be born in the 1930’s to remember events from the 1940’s - so today you would be in your ‘90’s = very small demographic for your Quiz!

      Rubbish....I am in my 60's and only missed 2 answers? I know more about the 20's, 30's and 40's than I do about this century? my interest lies there, my movie preference lie there? You are so wrong in your statement.

      It isnt based on when you were born, but on your knowledge of those years. ! 20 something would not know many of these while a 60 something will. Excluding exceptions of course.
