    Exactly what he said. Ken Jennings would have missed No. 8.

    I had to do process of elimination on the sexual reproduction one and take a 50-50 on Romeo and Juliet.

    Which one did you miss, A-A? Did you do the old, "I'll label both of these Vermont?"

    When my dad used to drop me off at elementary school every morning we'd go through the state capitals in the car.

    By March it was like, "What's the capital of Kansas?"

    "Overbearing father?"

    God, I love that guy.

    Wait, it's not? [/NYSportsJournalists.com] :D

    I hate math and science with every fiber of my being. but I loved my US geography. I might not get 99 out of 100 (showoff!) but I'd do far better than most.

    I got six of eight, but I made a lucky guess on the Romeo and Juliet question. I got both science questions wrong, and I never heard any of the answers on number eight.

    Got five of eight.

    I got question 8, but it was a pure guess. Missed the geometry one, the science one and the Romeo and Juliet one.

    6 of 8 as well. Missed the Romeo & Juliet question and would have bet the house Pangea was No. 8.

    Eight of eight, bitches.

    Rodinia existed about a billion years ago. Pangea broke up about 250 million years ago.

    I'll admit, I sort-of guessed on the R&J question

    Missed Romeo and Juliet (trick question: EVERYONE DIES), the triangle one and Panagea, which at least I knew was a supercontinent and not a bagel and pastry cafe.

    5 of 8.

    Missed the Shakespeare, which is a fucking joke. But the last one is a trick fucking question.

    The only question I can surely say I had learned the answer to before high school was the triangle, and I missed that fucker.

    7-8. Missed R&J, total guess on the last one.
