I think I got 13 right, mostly by shrewd guesses, which is about double what I'd get by sheer dumb luck. It doesn't tell your score, so you have to reverse all they way through using the back button to see how well you did.

I also answered 17 correctly; guess I need to brush up on my saints!

I got 19. I think I got lucky on some of the Church personalities questions though! I got monk Benedict wrong.

I also got 19 correct. I guessed wrong on the Book of Kells. Given that it was written in a monastery, having it be a religious text just seemed too obvious.

20, but then the older I get the more the Dark Ages seem like only yesterday.

18 right, though I got Otto the Great by elimination. Otto the Great just sounds so strange.
