Holy…

I just got my ass kicked in the history section.  Grammar definitions probably not too much better…

Check it out for yourself.

That was torture and I loved it! Thank you Garg.

I did not know the last Civil War battle, so was happy to google that.
It was Columbus, Ga. fought after Lincoln was assassinated.

They had to draw important people? For Points?!?!?!? I would have failed so badly.

What were the 3 biggest states? You had 48 then am I right?
Texas is the only one I know for sure.
Will check that out later.

Florida, and Alaska.

[Witt]

Florida really?
Alaska was not a state in 1912, otherwise I thought it was the biggest.
Thanks Garg.

Not sure you would pass in the drawing of important people though Garg.

Didn’t think it was terribly hard, although deciphering the antiquated grammar/question formulation, the jumbled resolution of the pic, and unfamiliar abbreviations of the arithmetic section made it unnecessarily difficult.  And the grammar section, which I never pay attention to and think it’s a lot of hoopla over arbitrary nonsense.

Everything else I passed with ease, more or less.

California would be in the largest states of the time, I think.
