Fun quiz! I enjoy Olympic history, so i was happy with my results. I think you could reduce the time greatly, to like 5-6 minutes.

Fun factoid, the LA games of 1984 were selected in 1978. Before they were selected, the recent history of the games had made them money losers at best, but more often toxic and deadly. There were only two cities who submitted bids for 1984: LA and Tehran, Iran, who had to withdraw due to the storming of the US embassy and hostages.

The US finally got the olympics back by default, but amazingly, put on spectacular, and very lucrative games.
