You got {number correct}/{number of questions} correct answers
Well, we have to admit those were all trick questions. You probably do realize that birds will fly away when they hear a gun fire, that people only have one birthday a year, that even July has 28 days (and then some), and that President Obama's name was Barack Obama even in 1972. You probably do know that a widow's husband is dead and can't marry anybody, and you know that it was Noah who built an Ark (not Moses). Sorry we tricked you like that!
