Made this quiz years ago. Ditto the 1740’s, for which you used several identical questions to me. Just saying…

I don't know why, but I really like the rubber clue--bouncy tree product lol

Also, I can thank my boxes of 64 and 128 for the cobalt answer.

51% of quiz takers wish that John Wesley had been a bit more of an egotist and just called it "Wesleyism."

He didn't give it that name. Like Quakerism, it used a name that was originally meant as a slight mockery of the movement.

I definitely thought the "Georgia" question was referring to the country of Georgia (don't come at me, I'm not from the USA so I'm not familiar with small historical facts like that) and I took so long trying to think of a costal city that isn't overly obscure.

I did the same thing at first; it took a second for James Oglethorpe to register. And my son lives in Savannah!
