    9 of 11.
    Botched the number of amendments. Was thinking it was 27, but figured it was a trick question and the highest answer wouldn't be right so I chose 23.
    and also choked on the year for the Constitution. For some reason I was thinking it was ratified in 1782 (not 1788) and since 1787 was too late I had to choose 1776.

    So I should have had all 11, but did too much thinking and blew two answers.

    11 of 11!! The only one I stumbled on was who is in line after the Vice President to the presidency. I wasn't sure if it was the Secretary of State or the Speaker, so I went with my gut feeling. Too bad I couldn't get as lucky with multiple guess tests in college.

    What helped me there was this. Remember when Reagan was shot, Alexander Haig went on the air and told everyone he was in charge. And there were numerous articles in the paper that said it was Speaker of the House.

    Full monty, yo. Got hung up on the Susan B. Anthony one, but since "cook her husband dinner" wasn't an option, I figured it was the women's rights one.

    11-11, but those are elementary level questions. The real citizenship is much harder.

    I wondered if that was the real one or not, that seemed a little too easy.

    10 of 11. Flat-out read the Constitution one wrong, thought it was about the Declaration of Independence. Didn't even see the word constitution until the test was graded.

    Here's a question on the real one:

    What two wars did we lose?

    Vietnam is the answer to the first one

    Sir Isaac Brock is a clue to number two
