SON OF TIME WASTER QUIZ


Your lukewarm enthusiasm prompted me to put together a second quiz, different from and perhaps better than the first.  I don't know how I come to know this stuff.  If you get them all correct,  you should consider some form of therapy.  Some of these are easy, some are hard, some can be looked up (although that's cheating), and some you just have to know.   There is a Bonus sudden death tie breaker for those who wish to die suddenly (results not guaranteed).  The questions are 1 point apiece, 1/2 point for each part of part 2.   All correct= therapy.  12-14= get outside more.  9-11= can pass for normal.  4-8=  not the biggest Yankee fan, but can be  brought home on a date. 0-7= I don't know, I really don't.  <0= Can you give me two 20s for this $10 bill?
