A couple of years ago I put together two tests, or quizzes, one about World War II, and one about our country’s presidents.

This I did, thinking I might use these as a program to be presented before, well, most any civic group which might be interested.

It has been done now for several different groups, and seemed, for the most part, to be enjoyed by those being “tested.”

Each of the two tests has twenty-five questions, which makes it impractical to do so here, where my space allocation is not unlimited. Sort of a self-imposed restriction, really.

Enough of this. Let me give you just an abbreviated version of my presidents quiz. Okay? I’ll provide answers at the end of the quiz. No peeking, now.

If you also answered the bonus question correctly, think of yourself as a pretty smart dude. Or “dudess.” Gotta be gender impartial.
