And now for
something completely different – a Monthly Quiz
I hope you like
doing quizzes. I am starting a monthly quiz – it'll be on the last
Monday of each month. It's very low tech
– there'll just be the questions and then underneath each one is the answer – but you won't be able to see it until you highlight that line.
I hope you enjoy
doing it – it's just intended to be a bit of fun. Let me know if you like it by leaving a
little comment – maybe saying how many you got right?

ReplyDeleteThe quiz was fun and informative, but I'm such a cheater, I looked at the answers even before thinking on my own :)
ReplyDeletethat was fun, even though I just did 2/10. thanks!
ReplyDeleteOK. I got partial points for the Von Trapps and Henry VIIIs wives, missing one each. Other than that I only got three correct. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was fun and hope you do it again!
