See if you have what it takes to survive the Roaring Twenties!

I found this interactive quiz on the Internet it is from the McCord Museum of Canadian History. I expected it to be really easy and for kids, but it was harder than I thought!

Well at least I know that I know how to dress myself! I think my score was 873 (I erased it though), anyone get a perfect score?

I got annoyed and gave up, so who knows what my score would have been. I was at the office and had to hire a typist and picked the married woman, and it told me something like "whoa, a married woman typist? Married women stay home and don't work." So I was like, well, why is one out there with loads of experience ready to work? And the game was like "..." and then I hit the "X" button in the corner of the screen.

Anyone else notice Mrs. Garrett in the University common room? :)

I got 1000 on the men's section, I'm still not quite sure how I did that good. I only got 884 trying to be a lady though. I did much worse trying to be victorian.

I got an 865 for a 1920's woman. I took the Victorian woman one about a year ago, and got 1000, and I took it now and still got 1000. Guess I know where I belong!:)

If only I knew as much about the manners and mores of 2007. :(

What do you want to know about the manner of 2007? There are NO manners in 2007..........

I did those tests last year or so, sure, I was pretty good on both (the 20's and the victorian) Those are my times :D

I got 865 as a woman and 942 as a man. But in my defence I can't even point out Quebec on a map, never mind know it's laws :eusa_doh: Were it the UK I may have stood a better chance...I like to think that anyway...
