My score was 16.

Many times I have no clue who some of these so called well known people are on TV. My guess is they wouldn't do very well on this test either. But people on Talk of The Villages will do well on this one.

This is not a pushover test. There are 20 questions. Average score is 12. This one will be very difficult for the younger set. Have fun, but no peeking! When you forward this to your friends/family, put your score in the subject line and let them know your score. Don't forget to post your score on Talk of The Villages. Good luck youngsters!!

Hey there, Hoosier,

You are making this Buckeye feel really old. Not only did I get them all right. I got them without looking at the choices. Geez. Thanks a lot. Now, everybody is going to think that I must have been the very first Boomer born. --- not quite.

I missed one question. Number 10. I haven't got a brain. Just straw.

Boomer,

Don't feel bad I also knew all the correct answers without looking at the choices. I contribute it to having way too much worthless knowledge. Wish there was a delete button I could hit to remove some of it so I could remember the really important things, like the 10 passwords I need at work.

Locked out again.

20 out of 20 for me. A walk in the nostalgia park.

20 out of 20- I know I'm old. Actually I already felt that when I read that Ringo Starr was 70!! I always think of the Beatles (and myself) as somewhat ageless.

OK, some of you have bad memories. I got all 20, did not have to look at any of the choices and I'm barely out of dipers. :laugh:

OK, more than barely.

..... a vastly mis-spent youth as I got 20 out of 20; most without looking.

Lots of effective commercials that are ingrained in my head.
