#70 is a bit confusing. Chamberlain declared war on Germany in Sep 1939 and was prime minister for the first 8 months of the war. He was replaced by Churchill in May 1940 who then made that statement. So it wasn’t exactly at the start.
WAY TOO EASY for this 74 yr old. Hard to fail when the the correct answer is painfully obvious. - "What significant political event began in 1950 in Korea, lasting until 1953?" Good thing she didn't do a quiz about foods ... "Some people like to put this Blue fruit in their cereal?" A) Apple B) Blueberry C) Orange Oh darn! Could have sworn the answer was Banana - well I'm stumped! ROFL
The beatles were around before the classifications of rock and pop, it was either popular music or classical. Since they were influenced by 50s rock and roll and 60s R&B they could meet either criteria.😊
A quite easy quiz really but as often with these ,they are fairly USA biased. There is no need to read out the questions either, we can read lol I am 87 and these fall well within my range
It's TRUE that Jimi Hendrix wrote "Purple Haze". The word is pronounced 'day-TAUNT' rather than 'day-TENTE. I am a 71 year old Jamaican, and I found the quiz to be neither easy nor challenging, but comfortable.
I never keep scores, just enjoy the quizzes. What most people fail to understand, the beauty of trying them gets the grey cells working and reduces the likelihood of various brain diseases.
Harper was not African American and none of the three authors died in 1947. Kipling was born in India, I believe but not Indian. 99 was my score. Purple haze was written in 1966, released in 1967.
I don’t consider myself elderly, but I got alll but 1 question correct it was about the 1968 Olympics were two white guys raise their arms. I didn’t remember that one.J
At my age the important memories are where was I working in those years ? How much money did I make was I even working or was I a stay at home mom could I afford to feed my family? Did I have a husband was I single? Who cares what song the Beatles were singing 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 the only thing that really matters is that we still remember who we are and who our family. Is❤❤❤❤❤now that is a quiz all in it's self!!!!!!!!! Take a memory pill then forget you took it!!!!!! Now thats a real challenge!!!!!!!!!
Too many repeated questions or already answered previously in this quiz. APOLLO, Margaret Thatcher plus many others. Won't be doing any more of these quizzes.
Sort of demeaning, some questions were so simple minded that I was waiting for What year was the war of 1812? Some were incorrect, Harper Lee was white, Churchill was not PM at the beginning of WWII, George Orwell was a British citizen only and he died in 1950. The Numerous repeat questions were not enjoyable. Maybe cut back on the number of questions and do more research.
Little known fact, the War of 1812 was fought in 1932, lasted 12 days and was over a brothel built at 1812 Lexington Ave, Concord NJ. I know because me grandpa fought in it! He was Captain of the 13th Brigade.
@@wz0hjd No, the War of 1812 went from 1812 to 1815. We declared war on Great Britain, the WH was burned and Washington,DC sacked by the British. The only war fought in 1832 was US against Black Hawk, 2 tribes against the US army. No brothels involved in either engagement.
You would have to be born in the 1930’s to remember events from the 1940’s - so today you would be in your ‘90’s = very small demographic for your Quiz!
Rubbish....I am in my 60's and only missed 2 answers? I know more about the 20's, 30's and 40's than I do about this century? my interest lies there, my movie preference lie there? You are so wrong in your statement.
It isnt based on when you were born, but on your knowledge of those years. ! 20 something would not know many of these while a 60 something will. Excluding exceptions of course.

89/100. Born 1950. Lucy in the sky with diamonds was released in 1967, not 1965.
Thank you for your hilarious pronunciations. Score 90. True.
We do our best John :)
Along with hilarious pronunciations, it’s hilarious how some of the answers are in the questions. Like the band that sparked Beatlemania..lol
Honestly, this quiz is too easy; and I’m 81!!
Agreed. I’m 72😉
I’m 66 and I agree

I was thinking the same thing.
The answer is in the question. For example, what war happened on Yum Kippor?
Thank you Quiz Class. 👍👍
91/100
Bonus. True
Good work as always!
Well, in my estimation, I scored somewhere over 110!
Number 65 None of them died in 1947, and Rudyard Kipling was the only British-Indian novelist.
Then I got 96!
Many of the answers are apparent from the manner in which the question is formed.
And some are just insulting. What group started Beatlemania? DUH!
You give us the dates in the questions which correspond with the answers!
All right, you’re starting to repeat them now now it just gets
Score 89
Bonus was true
Great 😊
33:38 I stopped counting at 7, but there were at least that many duplicate questions. Given that I legit missed 8 questions, my net score is 99/100.
Harper Lee was white from Alabama not Afro American. She Won a Nobel.
Thank you it’s keeps my brain working!
Harper Lee was not African-American
Yeah, I caught that too. Some of these were border line as well.
33/50 correct.Thank u for the quiz.Very challenging I enjoyed it.
Got all right except. Six thank God
Great 😊
Not poss8ble because some of them are not correct.
IF you missed 6, you did not get them all right!
88/100
I don't consider the Beatles to be a rock band, they were a pop band. I wanted more earlier questions.
True.
The beatles were around before the classifications of rock and pop, it was either popular music or classical. Since they were influenced by 50s rock and roll and 60s R&B they could meet either criteria.😊
I'm 76 myself and only had 17 answers wrong, two of which due to lack of concentration...
83\100 plus the bonus!
Yes! Well done 🔥🔥🔥
49, True, Answers for questions dated 1940s to 1970s were just guesses and I got 11 correct replies, what a chance! Tnx anyway.

Several questions came up more than once, so not really 100

Thank you for participating 🙂 and thanks for telling us
I didn't keep exact score but I think it was about 60 to 40.I am not very good at history but I did enjoy the game very much 😮

A bit obvious with quite a few answers clearly set out in the clues.

A lot of repetitive questions.
I got 98/100 and the Jimi Hendrix song came out in 1967, so true.
Well done! You're amazing 🤩
Good quiz
Well, I'll take that as sarcasm.

I was wondering about that
Lots of inaccuracies, the Beatles did not form in 1960 for example
Harper was not African American and none of the three authors died in 1947. Kipling was born in India, I believe but not Indian.
99 was my score. Purple haze was written in 1966, released in 1967.

Two black runners wore one glove on their hands and bowed their heads.

It’s Betty FRIEDAN, not Friedman.
Yes and nit to many😮
I don't think Harper Lee was African American.
You had George Orwell dead a year before he wrote 1984
This quiz is insulting to the elderly, I'm 79, but maybe I'm a genius...I missed only one of the first 50 and couldn't take it anymore.
The use of the word "elderly" is insulting.
What space mission was the first to land humans on the Moon in 1969

Well done 🤩 we have new boomer quizzes, we'd love to hear if your score increases 🎉
I got 82 right. If age maters I am 83.

Rebadging the same question again and again makes it a bit farcical along with a bit too much Americana.
