Don't cheat--off your bat!
I love Americana and I have an extensive library of books, although I have never been to the US. Here's a quiz on Presidents. Try to answer off the bat. Most are easy
but I've tried to throw in one or two puzzlers:
All the answers apply to the 20th Century only!
* Which President, other than JFK and Ike, was decorated for service in WW2?
* Which two presidents were assassinated in the twentieth Century?
* How many presidents were Generals before taking up office? (20th Century only).
* Which President was never elected by popular vote?
* Which two Presidents were born with different surnames?
* Which President advised Senator Joseph Mc Carthy in the early fifties?
* Which President sought advise from advisors and Senior politicians while sitting on the bog?
* Which President/s received the Nobel Peace Prize in the 20th Century?
* Which Presidents survived assassination attempts?
* Which President played pool and snooker regularly with his buddies in the White House?
* Which President had a son in the senate with aspirations to the Presidency?
* How many Presidents were married more than once? Who were they?
* Which President had a toy animal named after him?
* Which President had a daughter who married the grandson of another President?
* How many Presidents were impeached?
* Which Presidents were vice-President before taking over the office of President.
Here are two others to speculate on:
Which President was a"shortie" but was tough as nails?
Who, in your view, was the most effective President in the 20th Century?
Give it a try. No cheating. No reference books. Off the bat.
