I sure ain't not Brit! :P
3/10 :)
3/10, and only one wasn't a wild guess.
Also 3/10
Everything I know about the Magna Carta I owe to Malthus & a subway conversation.
4/10
5/10
7/10 though about half of those were gut instinct guesses.
5/10.
I was good on the 12th and 13th Centuries but crap on everything else. :lol:
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.
5/10, and an excellent example of the kind of quiz deigned to be easily graded without measuring anything significant whatever. A score on this quiz says nothing about anyone's understanding of the structure or significance of the Magna Carta. The best question was the one that asked which obscure reference was "famous."

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.

Someone is grouchy about failing a test. :lol:
5/10.
6/10. I guessed on most of 'em. I mean, who knows off the top how many copies survived? :lol:

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.
Got 5/10 through guess work. :P

Was Magna Carta a "deliverable"? :hmm:

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

Man, your kind of dumb. I got four right.
Make up your mind, man, are there different kinds of dumb or not?

Sure
7/10.
A few of the good answers were based on luck.

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
