People have been known to say that education back in the day was a lot easier than it is today. Well this quiz from 1912 is a lot harder than you think it is. It covers topics on history, biology, mathematics, geography etc. from over a century ago. How well do you think you?ll be able to do on this test?

i got 18 right out of 40 pretty good cause many of these questions were not of our country or what we was taught in school.

30 From the Base -------------------------------------------------------------------------->



I got 27 of 40


I hope the internet was faster back in 1912

Ahhh so it was on the ground. I thought 30ft from the base meant it was 30ft off the ground. Like the 3rd story. Thanks! Although, I'm amazed a man with a small child, and his own business has time for this sort of thing. :0003
