I did 28 out of 33. The ones I missed were sort of `chickenshit' questions,
like what FDR threatened to do when the Supreme Court declared some of his
`New Deal' unconstitutional. I didn't even know they had. And one question
about the Puritans beliefs. I don't know (or care) anything about the
Puritans. And, like you, I'd argue about a few of the others.
