That is beautiful.
I think the average
high schoolcollege graduate would have trouble scoring 10% or better.And I think a lot of answers have changed since that test was written, especially history.

@George-K That was interesting. In History - #10, what is a magnetic?
@Copper I agree. There would be lots of questions from today's tests that would unanswerable to people back than.
I am guessing however that the % of people who went to school back then and were in school long enough to take a test like that was probably somewhat small.
