    Default Can you name the presidents of the US?

    http://www.sporcle.com/games/presidents.php

    Fill in the blanks...

    I could only get 34 (well, 33 since it gave me a freebie). First 7, last 15, civil war, then....eh.

    Not going to try the vice president quiz...

    Weird, I got 34 as well. I nailed everything up through 1850, and everything after 1923. Clearly I have a spotty patch in the middle.

    Being able to just guess the last names helped me on one *Ben Harrison*,so I scored 38. The first 7 were easy, then I missed Van Buren. Got Tyler only because of "Tippicanoe and Tyler too" slogan. Missed Polk, Taylor, Pierce, Arthur, Harding. The pre Civil War nobodies plus Harding and Mister Insignificant himself, Arthur.

    How about someone makes an official Sporcle thread, rather than individual threads for every quiz someone takes a liking to?

    Got 36. I was weak on the ones leading up to the civil war, and the reconstruction ones after Johnson. It got a lot easier when I realized you could do just the last names.

    I only missed

    Cleveland(x2), Hayes, Van Buren and Harding. I knew exactly why each of their administrations was important but I couldn't think of their names.
    Why did the chicken cross the road?

    So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road,
    but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely
    chicken's dominion maintained. ~Machiavelli

    20. Don't blame me, I'm no US citizen. Got almost all of them on the right side, part from Coolidge, Harding and the likes. And GW and JA.
    Ja mata, TosaInu. You will forever be remembered.

    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?
