* You must correctly answer three or more questions to qualify.

I guess that's why I got my degrees in Physics. I got 'em all correct. And today this is appropriate for a memory from my days as a lecturer. The day after the shift from daylight savings to standard time I had a student come in late claiming to be suffering from jet lag....I wanted to cut something off him...and it wasn't below the waist.

Trick questions and you have to think. Why can't you just make a test with simple questions that even an idiot can answer. Sure I got some right, I mean who doesn't know that Moses wrote the constitution and that Bill Sheakspeare was a great Civil War General, man stupid people.

Basque is spoken in France among others.

Actually I wouldn't be at all surprised to find that many of the popes were actually agnostic. And this one?

As for the "ten" commandments, there are actually only nine as stated by either the Catholics or the Protestants. The preamble is NOT a commandment nor is the one about coveting divided as two separate ones. The Samaritans have all ten.

Coat hangers are commonly used for all kinds of things but rarely for hanging COATS.

All three floors of a three story building could be basements with entry by a phone booth above.

Devi, that still gives them a great chance to get three right.

River

I will also point out that Question #2 is a trick question in that the correct answer to "give the first name of Pierre Trudeau," is Joseph. His entire name is Joseph Philippe Pierre Yves Elliott Trudeau.
