Default 20 out of 20 but I have seen this a couple of times before.

I got all of them this time but have seen this quiz before over the past year or so.

20/20 (without having to look at the choices first) That kind of stuff and lyrics to old, really old songs --that's what I remember. How useful is that? And I can't even sing.

Talking 20

20, got them all
But remember, it's the short term memory that is the first to go.
You remember this minutia but don't remember what you ate for lunch.
