Quiz was too long.

Seniors boarding planes have the right to wear:
1. hearing aid

I think the Constitution is a wonderful thing. I wish

Did the quiz has a question about the Constitution being revoked by George Bush and is no longer applicable?

Why would a non-US citizen want to take a quiz on an amendment to the US constitution?

People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.

They're just waiting their turn.

I got 15 correct. But some of the questions I just guessed on, based on the answered provided. If it weren't a multiple choice quiz, I would have done very poorly.
