Brad Posted July 4, 2019 Report Posted July 4, 2019 The hardest 10 questions of the possible 100 questions on the citizenship exam. Fourth of July Quiz: Can You Answer the Hardest Citizenship Test Questions? I got 8 out of 10 right. Embarrassing! Quote

JSngry Posted July 4, 2019 Report Posted July 4, 2019 I also got 8, but I'm ok with that. I know what the Federalist Papers are, if not who all the authors were, and I know what the Amendments have done even if I can't tell you offhand exactly how many there are. Now, here's something I did NOT know - the story of Brother Jonathan, a precursor to Uncle Sam: https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/brother-jonathan-uncle-sam Before America Got Uncle Sam, It Had to Endure Brother Jonathan Brash, bold, and bigoted, he made for an uneasy national mascot. I mean, fuck this guy, give me good old Uncle Sam, for real! Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted July 4, 2019 Report Posted July 4, 2019 My wife got 9/10. We took it collectively with my Dad. I think I would have gotten at least 8/10 (but maybe not 9, and definitely not 10). Quote
ghost of miles Posted July 5, 2019 Report Posted July 5, 2019 9/10... I flubbed the one about who did and didn't author the Federalist Papers. Quote

Milestones Posted July 5, 2019 Report Posted July 5, 2019 Dan, thank god you got them all correct! Quote
Dan Gould Posted July 5, 2019 Report Posted July 5, 2019 Indeed I'd have no excuse not to know John Jay! Then again I've had a copy of the Federalist papers on my shelves since 1985, I'd say. Quote
JSngry Posted July 5, 2019 Report Posted July 5, 2019 I can't think of John Jay without auto-switching to Joey Jay. Quote

JSngry Posted July 5, 2019 Report Posted July 5, 2019 And that's the beauty of the American Experiment! That sanctimonious asshole Brother Jonathan had not a chance against an herbaled and cerealed multi-racial force of smiling shit-chasers! U S A !!! Quote

Dmitry Posted July 10, 2019 Report Posted July 10, 2019 8/10 I did take the test officially in 1995. Quote
