Just wondering what makes this a senior quiz? Are seniors more or less likely to do well on it compared with all age groups?

Got them all. But I am a former history professor.
Does that mean I cheated? :-)

I know, huh. The only one I knew for sure was where the Panama hats originated. Only because I was in Ecuador and saw them there and talked to one of the locals about them.

I contest this quizs' answer and claim I got 4 correct.
2-I saw a Travel channel show last weekend and I got the Panama hat made in Equador.
4-I knew the October revolution was celebrated in November because I had to do a paper in college on Stalin.
10-I knew the black boxes were orange from all the Discovery channel shows I've watched.

and #4 I contest, I was a draftsman for 40+ years and most of my brushes were Horsehair.
So I claim I won by getting 4 correct!
Let me take of my smart arse hat and take a bow.
Bobby
