How well do you do? I got 6. I'm pretty pleased with that.

I got a 5. But 3 of those were guesses.

Actually all 5 of them were guesses, although I was pretty sure about Emily Carr.

I got 5 as well, of which 2 were guesses.

6 for 8.

I got all the "Song Lyrics" answers right, though. 5 or 6 in "the 70s" and "Literary Canada" (lousy dates).

Maybe that was Flotsom's idea of an April Fool joke!

I took the test before I read the thread, and got a resounding 3. At least it's an honest 3 -- and I admit I guessed for all of them except the one to do with the athletes, because that one is the subject of the practice test for the written communication exam for the Federal Civil Service.

Hmmm, 5 out of 8 without cheating. Just 2 years off on Roberta Bondar.

I got 5... four I guessed at and the fifth, the first question, I'm not sure if I guessed or not. Reason being that flotsam's post was at the bottom of my screen showing the answer to that very question...

You and I did the same, Dr.

Even though I got it right, I was surprised at the birth date for the woman in question one.

5 for 8. Is that some function of the multiple-choice format? I got three right on guesses (but tip-of-the-brain, familiar guesses, if you get my drift).

I earned my Emily Carr point, but the other two I got were guesses.

6, but 3 were guesses.

Anyone remember which PM it was who said: "No, i can't make you a cabinet minister. I already have a woman in cabinet?"
