	you get two answers by entering washington. might want to change it to only accept washington dc. I dunno. Or just remove one of the questions

	This is kind of absurdly easy, I reckon it might be a teacher making a quiz for his/her students.

	Ironically, the quiz looks like the flag of France.

	rkavin:	Jan 29th, 2010 at 18:31 GMT		8 points
	Also, the fact for Inauguration Day should read "the first black president was INAUGURATED into office," not elected.

	You get the answer to the one about the stripes on the flag just by typing 13...

	is this the version that was edited for rednecks?, because every american should know more than this

	And you completely spelled completely wrong.

	As the creator of this quiz, i would like to thank everybody for your ideas to to help fix it, I am about to work on fixing this. Thanks!

	subway24:	Jan 30th, 2010 at 03:09 GMT		3 points
	Ok...I tweaked this quiz up...i hope everyone likes it! Brobert2: if i was a teacher than this quiz would have more of an official name...and everything would be spelled correctly...i know i made some mistakes, please tell me about them so i can fix them and make this quiz the best that i can.

	No need to accept "base" or "De" for baseball and Delaware, people should know the full answer for those anyway. How about a question about the Bill of Rights or constitutional amendments?

	Hawaii was also an independent country at one point...

	Tamarind:	Jan 30th, 2010 at 04:03 GMT		13 points
	Agreed, Hawaii was an independent kingdom united under Kamehameha, then an independent republic before joining the US. One could also make an argument for Vermont and California having been independent.

	vermont was its own country for a short time

	Hugh:	Jan 30th, 2010 at 18:51 GMT		3 points
	The fact for the country states question is ludicrous and you should accept a lot more variations on the independence day one. It didn't accept 7/4, 4/7, or 4 July.

	joewhitey:	Jan 30th, 2010 at 20:08 GMT		-3 points
	California was an independence country for a period of time.

	subway24:	Jan 30th, 2010 at 20:10 GMT		3 points
	I took the independent country answer out, just to make it less confusing. I hope everybody considers it a good addition to the quiz! :)

	debbiedoesnothin:	Jan 30th, 2010 at 20:20 GMT		4 points
	Way. Too. Easy. Right now, 72% of people who took it got all 10 answers. If you don't want to add harder questions, make the time really short, like one minute, so people have to think fast and type fast.

	kristen58:	Jan 30th, 2010 at 21:43 GMT		-2 points
	EASY! I sure hope all Americans know all of these. If you don't know these: you're an idiot and I'm ashamed you're a fellow American.

	Kristen58: I agree, that is why I made the quiz, because europeans think americans are stupid so I want to set the record straight that we are awesome!!!!!

	cocky:	Jan 31st, 2010 at 04:30 GMT		3 points
	I missed the one about the stripes on the flag because I couldn't get the wording right. Never tried British.

	Skydog:	Jan 31st, 2010 at 14:15 GMT		3 points
	Easy, but for me I did have to think for the 13 stripes (sadly lol), so I ran out of time while typing out New... TIMES UP! Dang it!!!

	subway24:	Jan 31st, 2010 at 15:08 GMT		2 points
	I made the time just one minute...enjoy!

	subway24:	Jan 31st, 2010 at 19:06 GMT		2 points
	Oh my god!!!!!! This quiz has just passed 1000 plays!!!! Thank you everybody for taking my quiz...I hope you liked it, and thank you for your feedback on how to make my quiz better!

	you should put a question about the first amendment-- otherwise great quiz

	Osprey39:	Feb 1st, 2010 at 20:15 GMT		1 point
	You should specify that Delaware was the first state to ratify the Constitution, especially considering how you claim that the 13 colonies became the 13 states after the Declaration of Independence. If your start date for statehood is determined by ratification of the Constitution, as it should be, change your comment for the 13 colonies question.

	@rockgolf: You're dumb. The French flag is blue, white, red not red, white, blue. Though I guess you could argue they look similar... just backwards.

	@ThomasNast: so just imagine the wind blowing in a different direction... why the excessive rudeness?

	RottLady:	Feb 4th, 2010 at 17:39 GMT		3 points
	Agree with Cocky. You need to accept "13 original colonies" or something like that too. Never thought of using the word "British." Also, consider adding more questions and expanding the time, but still making users think and type quickly. Right now it's kind of like a quiz for 6th graders.

	JosephusMyer:	Feb 19th, 2010 at 14:12 GMT		2 points
	I'd remove the need for "13" in the stripes question - it's in the question. Things like "original colonies", "original states", "states at time of independence", etc. are sensible alternatives

	Easy Peasy!

	The French flag is BWR moron

	nyo:	Mar 8th, 2010 at 10:24 GMT		4 points
	He said "looks like", he didn't say it was indentical. Try to read the comments of the people that you choose to target for immature flaming.

	Thomas Jefferson only drafted the Declaration of Independence, it was mostly other peoples ideas, namely John Adams, which were used in it

	The last one should ask for the most populous city in the United States...

	TheCavsfan:	Jun 14th, 2010 at 05:53 GMT		3 points
	I like how you mention the $2 bill. I like spending them (they are fairly easy to get- just ask for the at the bank).

	saxonjf:	Aug 5th, 2010 at 04:22 GMT		2 points
	The font is way too big: I got a 100%, but it was close because I had to keep scrolling up and down. If the font was smaller, it would fit better on the screen.
