I was only vaguely paying attention as my mom watched this and got so thrown by referring to Queen as an American band that I am now suspicious of the accuracy of their trivia.
Q18. Ireland declared as aRepublic in April 1949 not 1961. Really a very serious error!!. Even though most of the questions were 'American' I got 82 correct. And I am 75 , was born in, have always lived in Ireland.

Most questions are directed at US citizens and I suspect only Americans would get most right, except of course for the question about Queen. How could he get this so wrong.
You should indicate that this quiz is mainly for Americans. This has nothing to do with memory. You either know the answe or not. One cannot remember what one doesn't know. Nevertheless I score 80.
Agreed. Nothing to do with memory when some of the answers were names you’ve never heard of, particularly if you’re not a U.S. citizen. I hate to think what the average U.S. person of say 18 to 25 would score - hmm maybe 10 - 😂
I just had my 77th birthday, so I was curious as to how I would do...your questions, though some were inaccuratly worded or answered, either weren't as difficult as I expected or I retained more and guessed better than I expected!! It was fun taking your test...I scored 96/100, not bad for an old lady born at the begining of the Baby Boom! LOL😊🧓🌹♥
I was drafted in 1966 to go to vietnam. Maybe you are referring to a specific change, but the draft was called lottery in 66 because I sarcastically referred to it as the only lottery I ever won. I got 12 wrong.
Considering that I came to the states in the 50s, and was only 10 yrs old, and didn't know the language, getting 60 out of 100 I'll say I did good, the 60s and 70s questions were a breeze.
The choices for the first woman to reach the summit of Mt. Everest included two men! And as for the question about a Swiss watch, the wrong answers were not even Swiss. Most disturbing was referring to Queen as an American rock band.
And, amazing as it sounds, a girl from Ipanema really did inspire Brazilian composer Antonio Carlos Jobim and Portuguese poet Vinicius de Moraes when they spotted her on Rio de Janeiro's famous beach. They composed the song in 1962, and it became a hit in 1964 when it was recorded by Astrud Gilberto and Stan Getz. Joāo Gilberto played guitar on the song.
I didn't keep track, but I got most of the American politics, and a lot of the history ones wrong. I was never one to listen to the news in the 50s and 60s, so it's not surprising. Some Canadian questions would have been nice in this mix, seeing as I am Canadian.
The draft was in place well before 1969, but they held a lottery in 1969 to determine who would get called first. The lower the number, the greater were the odds that you would be called. My number was 4, but I aged out (turned 26) before they called me up.
I scored 89/100 ... not bad for an old geezer like me. Some clarifications needed: Q35 ... Freddie Mercury (RIP) would be upset that you called Queen an "American rock band "... it is clearly British Q80 ... Either The Space Race or The Cold War accurately describes the conflict between USA and USSR; either answer is correct
I’m 74 and got a score of 84, although I would argue 85 because although both Antonio Carlos Jobim and Joao Gilberto were involved with The Girl from Impanema, ACJ actually wrote it.
I'm 83 and I got 69 correct. Didn't do very well on the bands as I never listened to them. Also not well on some inventors and world stuff - never heard the names before.
I didn’t count, but I am sure I got over 20 of them correct. I was born in 1946 so some of those questions regarding political things in different countries, I was too young to know or care about that kind of stuff. My parents did, of course. The easiest questions for me were music and movies. Needless to say I got all those correct. The ones I absolutely didn’t know I didn’t even guess. I’m 77 now and I think I did pretty good for my age. I can’t walk well, but I can think.
if you believe both the band Queen and the singer/songwriter Cat Stevens are American you need to employ some with basic knowledge to set the answers, both Cat Stevens and Queen are British, and to suggest Tenzing Norgay was a woman is an insult to the man who first climbed Everest.
@@richardball3585 In fairness although Fleetwood Mac started as an all British band, now with the addition of Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham, they are best described as Anglo American.

I am 69 and my memory is ok. However, some of these are so obscure and have not been told, ever!
I didn’t know several of these because I never heard of them before now.
Multiple guess is great! A one in three chance to get it right.
Cat Stevens as well as Queen are British rock stars
And they both suck..
No they don’t, hater.

i love your answer lol
I answered the questions by using logic. Ex: who was alive then.
I decided to drop out after you called Queen an American band. Exposure to you is bound to rob me of the few sound brain cells I have left.

I always thought that !Queen was an uk group.
This channel is terrible Lots of inaccuracies and all questions so so so easy as well. Nixon,Moonshots etc are 1960s/70s not 50s

I am 72 and i got 77 of them correct! The questions from the 1950 era were hard since i was young child at that time! Felt i did ok!
Question 18 about Ireland is totally wrong. Ireland became a republic in 1949 and never declared itself socialist.
1921 actually.
Most questions are directed at US citizens and I suspect only Americans would get most right, except of course for the question about Queen. How could he get this so wrong.
I only couldn't remember 3 and I am Australian?
And he thinks Cat Stevens is American.What an idiot.
And Cat Stevens!
Totally agree heavily leans to the USA , they are not renown for knowing world history !
I agree,I lived there for a year and found them to be a dim lot.Can't recall how many times I was asked where South Africa was.@@margueritedilosa2944
Since people expect us to believe they missed less than 10, I didn't miss a single one.
Wauw 🤩
Good Response ! Not good questions for a "MEMORY TEST" !
I was going through so much hell in life above normal I don't remember any of this. I'm glade I'm still here in my right mind
You need to make sure you give the right answers! Queen is a BRITISH band
Queen is a British band, not an American band.
14. Points। I। Scored,R,K, Singh
This was my era. I throughly enjoyed this.
Thanks
Age 75. 71/100. Queen is a British band.
Guess I should add one more to my score of 81. That is what I said in protest.
That's what I got, but some say they missed fewer than 6. Yeah, right.
Age 74, Score 80. Not bad for a non-American eh? Thanks for the quiz.
Me too 80
I'm 74 years old,95 out 100.Thanks Quiz Time.

@@paullewis2413
Number 35. Queen are from the UK, not an American band.
Queen was not an american band, they were british.
So was Cat Steven's....
I'm 78 soon to be 79. I got 95 correct, missed only 5 and they were questions set in the late 40's early 50's. I was 5 years old in 1950.
Me too and I am British.
BTW: Queen were formed in London (that's 'london, England') in 1970.
Queen was formed. Queen is a group title thus singular.
@patriot9183 good point, thank you!
Why did Americans go to England to form a band?
Because they are all British! although Freddie Mercury was born (I believe) in Zanzibar....@@dough9512

77 last May, welcome to the club!
But didn’t they refer to the 50s-60s as baby boom? You were born in the 40s. Right?
Born 46, now 77. Could have been clearer in questions but entertaini
@@IMWeira me too. 77 last September. He has already been roasted over the Queen gaf.
Surprisingly, I did pretty well, considering I’m Asian in my 80s and vaguely familiar with American history and politics.

Maybe you are referring to a specific change, but the draft was called lottery in 66 because I sarcastically referred to it as the only lottery I ever won.

Thank you for serving and fighting for my country.
One way or another...Queen was a great band....loved em and still do

As an 80 year old Australian and only lived in my country I scored about 60%, Cat Stevens ( Muslim convert) and Queen are British.
Stopped after 11 questions. Only tried it because it said 1950s trivia, All the questions were about the 60s and 70s.
I only got 76 answers right. I am 77 and only a kid in the 50’s but did better in later decades.
The choices for the first woman to reach the summit of Mt. Everest included two men! And as for the question about a Swiss watch, the wrong answers were not even Swiss. Most disturbing was referring to Queen as an American rock band.
Cat Stevens not American either!
96/100 Queen was not an American band they were British.
110 out of 100. I answered some before he even posed the question. (THats more honest than some of the posters below)
good one. still chuckling
THANK YOU!
I am 78 and my memory is ok! 80% correct.
I am84 still have good memories
I did them quite well. I am 82 years old. I enjoyed the quiz please do more
‘ar, ‘ar, pants on fire 🔥

Not bad at all.. And I learned a bunch of stuff along the way that I never heard of.
And in the fall I'm 81!😅
Thank you QuizTime 👍👍
95/100
I have no reason to know most of this unless I was studying for a trivia quiz. Never focused much in when car came on the market.

90 out of 100 and I’ll be 60 in 7 weeks lol
Well done!
72, and a lot of questions I never knew.
but there are some who claim to have missed 5 or fewer.

80 out 0f 100. Born in 1950 in Asia, but didn't come to the USA until 1973.

Same for Cat Stevens - he was British
