    I'm around 80 alright but grew up in a remote part of Scotland and hardly ever saw a television till well into adulthood. So, this is not so much a test of memory as a test of what culture we grew up in.

      I agree, to a certain extent. But have you been to school? Have you ever read a book? Have you ever travelled? Have you ever been curious to discover something you didn’t know? These aren’t criticisms, just queries. Each quiz I do, I try to retain an answer I didn’t know before. I now have a head full of a lot of useless stuff, unless I play a trivia game, then hopefully I can contribute something when it’s needed. Just have fun with it and don’t moan because the question didn’t suit you, go and find out more about it. It’s like complaining about not knowing the Battle of Hastings, because you weren’t born then, so how are you supposed to know it was 1066?

    The long-term memory is seldom an issue. Short term is the difficult one.

    • @KieranSaighir
      @KieranSaighir ปีที่แล้ว +6

      You've certainly hit the nail on the head. Of the 50 here, I had about 12 wrong, but of those, I think that I actually only missed 2 or 3 that I once knew the answer, the others I never did. So in realty I had 2 or 3 true misses. However, if you ask me questions of a year ago, I'd probably fail most. To be honest I suspect dementia upon me, but maybe it's just old age. I prefer not to know 😬

      I am an older person and have made the observation that it is not the short term memory so much but not focussing on the info presented which is not saved. This is then looked at a retrieval issue while I believe it is a savings issue. People do not always listen properly.

      ANSWERS would be greatly impacted by the SPECIFIC experience of the person being TESTED also.
      Statisticians ? Government Officials ? Law retirees , etc. ETC.
      UNFAIR, to demand the EXACT years of historical events;
      UNFAIR to demand exact numbers o f the POPULATION regarding a specific year or an event.
      UNFAIR to expect people to know the EXACT NAMES of inventors of "particulars" of the discoveries of DNA TESTS.
      A good question MIGHT have been; what era did Interpole become utilized by world crime investigators?
      Friends over their 80's whose memories are "sharp as a tackS" wouldn't care to remember HALF of these questions.
      And their area's of expertise would and should, be considered a factor.

I still have a lot of blank spots, but I managed to relearn so much of what I thought was lost forever.

      Even though you may not know the answer or were only 4 or 5 years old say like during the Korean WR, these questions also are based upon how much you read or were taught or just remember hearing a subject being spoken about. So in a way, it does reveal memory and also what your interests were It is all in fun--mostly.

      Same here. Poor side of USA. Radio, newspapers, and elders. Glad I remember what was going on. My whole life I have had a pretty regular diet of war. Born 2 months 3 days after Pearl Harbor was born. My father had a destroyer bombed from under him in the South Pacific. Several of my close relatives were killed or captured in Germany. Two of my three paternal uncles served Navy. Maternal side, four uncles served, 1 killed.
      Dad died in South Korea. Two years later I entered the Military USN. ENJOYED the cruises in the Pacific. Then the Atlantic.
      Then did 4 years in the Army . Germany. Vietnam. Got tired of being shot at. Finished my 4 year hitch at Ft. Hood, Tx. 1st AD
      Now, in my 80s, I wonder about those wars. I'd do it again
      ... Right now, but I doubt I could do all that stuff that was so easy back then!😅

They were market tested first and then slowly released throughout the rest of the country. Had to keep wearing stockings and garters until they finally got to where I lived. Remember the panties back then? They were like cotton balloons with elastic sewed into the waist and legs. Sometimes the elastic would break. Happened to my great-aunt while she was on the trolly. They dropped to her ankles. She stepped out of them, walked off the bus and never looked back. It was a different world.

Very strict, very religious and extremely racist. I withstood the strict and religious part, but I refused to acknowledge racism. I can't stand racist people. I never could understand what everyone was so upset about. I used to yell at my mother, EVERYONE IS .A PERSON. i was only 6 or 7, but that's how I felt, no one taught me that.

    I enjoy the questions. How many I get right you will never know!!!! But I love to learn new things. 77 years old.

    got 40 /50 born in 1939 missed most on the actual date the event occurred. Also most of the questions were easier for Americans to answer. At this age I am just happy to have enough strength and wits about me to live independently in my home and manage quite well with the help of caring doctors and loving family. I am truly living in the Goodness of my God.

    I'm 85, I only got 38 correct. I was a teenager in the 50's, never paid a lot of attention to the news, those are the answers I missed. 🤒😕
