I think one of their questions/answers is technically wrong...when must men register for the draft? It's 18, not between 18-26, unless things have changed in the last few years... anyway, I got 90 of 96.

     The ones I got wrong were the #of reps, and the presidents in office during specific times in history...sigh.  Surprised the heck out of me that I remembered the name of the chief Justice.
     I don't think many kids in high school would pass this though...

Hoo-Ahh 100%!

The 18-26 draft reg range is because if you are a college student (full time) you are exempted until graduation.  Since the majority of students start right after high school and graduate around age 22 or 23, the gov't can still get yo for 3 or 4 years.
I learned when I was 18 that if you have an enlistment contract and are to leave for basic within a year you aren't required to register.  You can but when Selective Service is notified that your SSN is now in DFAS (the military pay syatem) that registration gets tossed.
Appaterntly someone in the gov't figured out that you can't draft someone who is already in the Army

You only need to get 58 to pass, but I still think that the average high schooler will have trouble with it.   The sad thing is, the pols are just fine with that.  The less the sheeple know about how government is supposed to run, the better.

[Welsh Wench]

86/96

OK so how am I supposed to know who runs for how long?

[Merlin the Elder]

Well, I can run for about a block, then I'm bushed...

[Ms Trish]

I hit 89/96 but one of them was because I didn't read the question   Not too bad.

Outstanding Merlin.  I thought about running and got sick to my stomach. Does that count?

Nah, I just have a good memory for trivia.
