I got 27 right. There were some lucky guesses in there, and
a couple I only figured out based on reading this thread.
I only knew the Dickens question because I'd seen all three
titles in the TV Guide, showing on "Masterpiece Theater."
The Shakespeare question was probably unfairly tough. They
sure dug out his most obscure plays for that one! I chose
one of two answers that had two tragedies I'd heard of, and
knew were tragedies -- too bad the right answer only had one
tragedy I'd heard of. There were a lot of questions about
poets -- a subject I know very little about. I think I got
the English Civil War confused with the War of the Roses. I
don't have the slightest idea who Anthea Turner is. The prime
ministers question was a lucky guess, although I *was* able to
eliminate the one with Alec Baldwin. ;-)
