Got 1 wrong. Quite surprised that I did that well.

[Mamyalynne]

Same - 44/45.

[hc4361]

I got the same score as you but I thought most of the questions were obvious because the alternative answer was obviously wrong.

[Mamyalynne]

Agree hc.

[bednobs]

sorry but lol i would seriously think that the majority of people over the age of 40 could get all but a few right
there are photos of people and it gives you 2 choices underneath, 1 of whom couldn't have even been alive when photographs were invented!
"is this person david bowie or freddie mercury" *Chortlesplutters*
incidentally which one did you get wrong?

[EDDIE51]

Yes, they were pretty obvious. I'm annoyed I got 1 wrong.

[Jackdaw33]

Got as far as 25 then got bored. Got one wrong, Shakespeare. the photo with the choice of Virginia Woolf or Jane Austen was a hoot!

[ubasses]

same here 1 wrong.

[jackthehat]

45/45

[THECORBYLOON]

I got them all correct but there was no score and it took me to a quiz about the FBI.

[dzug2]

Found it painfully slow going - got all right as far as Shakespeare after which it refused to progress any further and sent me back to the beginning

Got bored and gave up after the 3rd attempt

Henry VIII was a dead giveaway - his name on the portrait...

[maggiebee]

Got 2 wrong - Ann Bolyn and Mary Queen of Scots.

[chrissa1]

That was ridiculously easy. I got 1 wrong by not recognising the picture of Emmeline Pankhurst.

Too much going on, on the page, which had to keep reloading itself.

[zebo]

It would be interesting to know from everyone who got one wrong, which one. I mixed Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin. As has already been said, the website was very slow, thought it was just the Norfolk snailband playing up.

[chrissa1]

I just did, Zebo.

You're probably a professional historian. When it comes to British history, you really know your stuff.


Not my score ... my 13 year old son's score.

[tonyav]

45/45.

[Peter Pedant]

ran out of steam and
concluded that only 2% actually got the end of the quiz

[Peter Pedant]

I thought the one they said was Mary I Tudor was in fact Anne Boleyn

I got to Dickens and thought - hell it is more interesting to go and READ a bit of dickens so I did
