2. Samuel Adams?
3. The Mississippi and the Colorado
4. Nine
5. Nancy Pelosi
6. The Civil War (although I've heard it called "The War of Northern Aggression while living briefly in Georgia).
7. It represents the original 13 states (stolen from the indians, like everything else here)
8. Puerto Rico
9. She was a civil rights leader who sought the right to vote for female citizens. As a side note, there is also a Wiccan tradition (denomination) named after her as well.
10. Teddy Roosevelt? I know FDR was president for WWII.

Sorry I should have known that one - Susan B Anthony was a suffragette for the rights of women, was it Betsy Ross who designed the first American flag?
If its not the Colorado river would it be the Mississippi?
S'okay, yes to everything. (dealing with the answers, of course.
i must have gotten them all right because I don't see the answers anywhere...
oh wait....i get it. turn in the answers tro you and yoyu'll judge us?
How do we know you have the right answers?
What about the mensa answers?
OK, I'll get back to that...
1. president, though I liked Indigo's answer
2. Tom Jefferson, one of my heroes!
3. Mississippi River and the Misouri, and I think the third IS red dog creek.
4. 9 (almost like I couldn't make up my mind. 4 or 9? 24 or 6 to 4)
5. Nancy Pelosi. (Nancy Pelosi? Don't you mean Betty Jo Biolvski? But, everyone knew her as Nancy.)
6. civil war
7. the original colonies, or, as the Indian population called it, the original occupied territories
8. Porto Rico, but if ANY president since Eisenhauer had strapped on a pair, Cuba....
9. Nurse/Suferagette
10. Wilson.
and now, as a prize for you doing all that test grading,
The Washington Post's Mensa Invitational once again asked readers to
take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting,
or changing one letter, and supply a new definition....
3. Bozone (n.): The substance surrounding stupid people, that stops
bright ideas from penetrating. The Bozone layer, unfortunately, shows
little sign of breaking down in the near future.
Boney, you only got one wrong. That was # 9.
1 - Who is in charge of the executive branch?
I am.

I think it was my Insurance Agent. There's a Declarations page I'm always too bored to read through.

"The River of No Return" with Marilyn Monroe and "A River Runs Through It" with Brad Pitt. Those two stinkers seemed to go on forever.
4 - How many justices are on the Supreme Court?
None. It's a trick question. No one with a last name of "Justice" currently resides on the Supreme Court. But interestingly enough, there was one former "Supreme": Flo Ballard served on the court from 1969-1971.

She wrote "Johnny B. Goode".

Woody Harrelson.

Thanks Lamby, this was fun. Since you failed the test, and are due to be deported, perhaps we can work something out to keep you in the country ...
how would you feel about a sham marriage to a certain canine?
They're all wrong. Me thinks we both better find someone to marry so we can stay in this country.
Or better yet, we won't tell anyone we didn't pass.
What? How can that be? Someone must have rigged the answers! Must have been the Commies.
I demand a full investigation be launched. Anyone who currently is or has been associated with the Communist Party needs to be identified and blacklisted. Just like "Tail Gunner" Paul McCartney did in those Senate Hearings back in the '60's.
Well if you and I are out, then maybe we can be the way Robert Redford and Barbara Streisand were in that movie, "The Natural".
Maybe we can. I don't see why not.
Hello Pug, were you referring to the movie 'The Way We Were' with Redford & Streisand or 'The Natural' with Redford & Glenn Close - both good movies but very sad. :)
Hi Dianne. Actually I was referring to "The Way We Were", but got a little confused (which happens frequently when I visit with Lamby, I'm afraid). Thanks!
Oh Pug! You get confused when you come here! How come? Maybe I can unconfuse you.
pueri, i am a former communist party member...so what ??
i am not afraid of your blacklist...you can't read the letters on black at all:);)
isn't canada a u.s. territory? ;)
Nope.
Now youn got me wonnerin iffin dey gonna take me citzenship away cuz me don't be knowin any dis stuff.
STOMP.
Well, hello stranger! How've ya been? Long time no see! It sure is nice to see you again!
Not to worry, I didn't know most of it either. You can hide with me and the pug, just in case.
You don't have to take any tests after you've done your 20.
