2/10, and 1 of them I knew for certain, and the other I was mostly sure.

Which means I'm an incredibly bad guesser.

Me too.

And only fussy and snooty tribe like the English would note the difference between signing a document and sealing a document.  Big fucking deal.  Surprised there wasn't a 3rd question for delivery.

That was perhaps the only question I did in fact know the answer to. :lol:
Same Lord Denning was reusable :wub:

6/10, but got lucky on the signing, sealing, etc question - some useless trivia for most of it.

But I did like the Lord Denning reference.

5/10, and only 1 of those was a guess.  Though I wasn't entirely sure about 2 of the others.

Was Magna Carta a "deliverable"?  :hmm:

Jesus man.  The only one I knew was "great charter."  That's a gimme.

Make up your mind, man, are there different kinds of dumb or not?

7/10.

A few of the good answers were based on luck.

Someone is grouchy about failing a test. :lol:

He is right though.  It is Magna Carta trivia.

Anyway I got 6/10 so I guess I passed but I am not sure having pseudo-memorized the date of the start of John's reign really means I am knowledgeable on the Magna Carta.

Why is anybody surprised that a collective body for lawyers should concentrate on the minutia/trivia rather than the substance of the matter.  :P
