2

yep, that’s what I got.

3

30/40, a lot of lucky guesses.

4

29/40. Some lucky guesses, some by elimination

5

36/40 Guess that’s why history was always my best subject in school.

6

31/40. Kicked myself a couple times because I second-guessed my gut instinct, and was wrong. Some lucky guesses too.

7

37/40. Good fun stuff

I blew the Nimitz/Spruance one,should have known.

The other 2 I had no idea

8

Only 25!

9

35/40. A couple I didn’t know, one I was too eager and clicked wrong, and mixed up Pizzaro and Cortes.

10

I start out well enough then get those stupid friking ‘congrats youre a winner’ re directs…

11

Hi,

I got 36 of 40, but I guessed on a lot of them. I guess I was just lucky today [:P]

12

27/40

I guess watching Drunk History pays off.

13

35 out of 40. Some guesses and some elimination. I missed Spruace too, and guessed Sitting Bull when the correct answer was Geronimo. The other three I had no friggin’ clue.

And gee, the hardest part was the sheer number of ads. I thought my browser was going to lock up.

14

I think I did okay, 33/40.

15

me too 31/40 did remember the photos but never could get the french names right multiple choice made it easier for me it did shake rattle some brain cells

16

32/40

I wonder how accurate the portraits are of some of those early leaders, like the Greeks and Romans. It is okay when they reveal something about the person so you do not need to go by likeness alone.

17

Such quizzes are not a gift, they are put up for a reason.

“Yamamoto was a Japanese Marshall Admiral of the Navy and the commander-in-chief of the Combined Fleet during World War II. He was responsible for most of the major battles during the war, including the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.”

I think that’s a little imprecise, or inaccurate to say. He was responsible for the Pearl Harbor attack, and Midway, and I guess he bears responsibility for the IJN’s actions in support of the Solomons campaign. But there was still a lot of action after that. I’d say rather, “…battles in the first two years of the war…”

19

“Maurice de Saxe first served in the German army, the Army of the Holy Roman Empire, and the Imperial Army before joining French forces.”

That is incorrect. There was no “German army” in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, because there was no Germany. Germany was a geographic definition, not a state, until 1871.

I got 38 out of 40. I missed Lt. Col. Moore, and Marshal Massena.
