Peter- I say it is pretty good given that the average is half that! I do think a couple of the questions are "odd" at best. The Hudson Bay Company question for example. What "product" the question says. I'm not sure that fur is product and there was a use of blankets almost as currency within my little gray cells- but perhaps that's just the way it is taught "down here" and is a confabulated story confabulated by time. :) I'll have to defer to your 85% and take my 75% as pretty good for a yank. The ones I didn't know I really had no clue on! Doesn't speak well of my "good neighbor" status when I know so little about those directly to the north (maybe there is some unconscious (sic) extension of my education in the South?). I did do better on this than the recently posted test on Native American history though- now that was embarrassing! Take care. Tim
