I'm six years short of 70 and was able to get 18 out of 20 correct......not bad for an old fart!

 

2nd part of #1, 1st part of #10, and #20. Missed those three. DUH moment when I read the answers.

 

I'm 42 and got the same 18/20. #16 and 20 were foreign to me.

 

#20=

#16=

 

as good a place as any to put this!

 

I'm surprised there's no Brylcreme question on that quiz.

 

18/20....and all those answers were right there.....

the 2......right on the tip........

 

missed 1,16,18

Hi, Ho, Silver away ! Why couldn't they ask the two horse's names !

 

Got most of them but didn't realize the Monster Mash was from the sixties. Since I first heard it in the seventies I thought it was new then.

 

18 and 1/2- knew half the Red Skelton question. Not bad for a kid of 54!

 

Same here. I also didn't know Red Skelton character but knew God bless.

 

A little dab'll do ya.

 

17 1/2 right. 62 and haven’t lost all my marbles yet.

 

I guess I am too young. I missed 5 1/2 questions. Couldn't remember Freddy the Freeloader's name.

 

Had one I couldn't answer. Just couldn't remember it!
Thats pretty good, no?

 

Im 48 and missed 16,18 and 20.
Btw now I have that stupid monster mash song stuck in my head, thanks lol.
I was working in my lab late one night................

 

Do any of you remember that there was actually a product called 'Greasy Kids Stuff'?

 

43 and missed exactly the same two. Didn’t have the slightest clue on those.

 

Gooder than the rest of us.......so far.
