I took the "Quarter Back" challenge over at Mental Floss and failed miserably. This quiz tests your knowledge of the images on 20 State quarters. I had to outright guess on one because I had no idea what the image even WAS. Either my knowledge of U.S. topography and history is sadly lacking, or else I need to travel about the country more. The average score (at the time I took the quiz) was 58%. My score - and it's a testament to the trust I have in my readers that I will not be shamed out of the country by posting this:40% (8 out of 20). I'd post the full results showing right/wrong answers, but that would make it too easy for YOU to take the quiz. At least I pegged the Kansas coin correctly, since we lived there for three years. (There, a little clue for you.)
The last time I scored a 40% on anything: Abstract Algebra test in college.
My feelings of failure regarding this quiz: 10%.

This was fun. I wonder if they show the same coins to everyone or randomly shuffle in different choices. I won't be rude and leave my score here. ;-) At least you attempted Abstract Algebra...I surely didn't!

I think they just use the same 20 coins, because they said they got complaints from people about not including certain states (or all the states). So maybe I should keep taking the quiz, then revise my post to say I got 100%?..... It would eventually be TRUE!
