There is only so much that happened in any one day that is well known around the world, so therefore some of the questions are very obscure
Even I get most wrong if I take a quiz at a later date !
Look upon it as a learning exercise, if you learn one thing from one quiz, then thats a bonus.
Thanks for taking one of my quizzes
