    the reader average score of 59% The lesson here, I need to refresh my memory of History and Geography.

    was more fun (that or I just like 80% more than 59%)
    life itself was a lightsaber in his hands; even in the face of treachery and death and hopes gone cold, he burned like a candle in the darkness. Like a star shining in the black eternity of space.

    Yoda: Dark Rendezvous

    "But those men who know anything at all about the Light also know that there is a fierceness to its power, like the bare sword of the law, or the white burning of the sun." Suddenly his voice sounded to Will very strong, and very Welsh. "At the very heart, that is. Other things, like humanity, and mercy, and charity, that most good men hold more precious than all else, they do not come first for the Light. Oh, sometimes they are there; often, indeed. But in the very long run the concern of you people is with the absolute good, ahead of all else..."

    John Rowlands, The Grey King by Susan Cooper

    "You come from the Lord Adam and the Lady Eve", said Aslan. "And that is both honour enough to erect the head of the poorest beggar, and shame enough to bow the shoulders of the greatest emperor on earth; be content."

    Aslan, Prince Caspian by CS Lewis

      That went bad. In my defence my phone wouldn't show the maps ^^ and, well, American history isn't a big subject in school here.

        43%. But...we don't learn American history in school. The only thing I know about the Civil War, I learned from Thal's reenactments...

          I got 89% because I don't know anything about state founders and I forgot that this was before Alaska was a state.
          Trust is knowing someone or something well enough to have a good idea of their motivations and character, for good or for ill. People often say trust when they mean faith.

            Ditto, but I caught that one (I used to have to talk about it at my old job in conjunction with "Why there are no battleships named after Alaska or Hawaii") and missed the types of verbs.

              I was doing well until the American Geography and History questions... so then I enlisted Torey to help (also I couldn't figure out why I didn't like any of the countries on the map for Romania... then discovered it wasn't even on the map).

              So Torey and I together got 73%.

              Does anyone know the pass mark? Do we make it into high school?

                I got a 49. The maps were weird when it gave me option 1 and I could not even see a number one on my map. I did ace the mountains and all the Hispanol dudes who settled up in America.

                  59 but I got hung up on recalling was it this or that person but couldn't recall exactly who. Like Maryland recalled the father applied for the grant but son actually got it. the map sort of sucked in that I kept thinking modern and forgetting what became what.

                    68% And mostly because I've always been terrible at remembering names of people long dead...
                    We are what we are. Nothing more, nothing less. There is good and evil among every kind of people. It's the evil among us who rule now. -Anne Bishop, Daughter of the Blood

                    I wondered if he could ever understand that it was a blessing, not a sin, to be graced with more than one love.
                    It could be complicated; of course it could be complicated. And it opened one up to the possibility of more pain and loss.
                    Still, it was a blessing I would never relinquish. Love, genuine love, was always a cause for joy.

                        I tried to scoot past the first few questions, failed all the maths ones and stopped about 5 questions in. So... probably not.

                          got a 51%. a lot of the history questions had people I never studied about in school.

                            78%; I didn't know about the Blue Ridge Mountains, the geographic zones, a few of the state founders, the verb properties, who discovered a few bodies of water, and the states touching the Ohio River.
