31% mostly guess. I did know the floppy and humbucker question though. :D

it's not a memory test if it is not in your memory already.

The last question is wrong. The 3.5 STANDARD disc was 720k if I remember. The High Density was 1.44mb. You could put a hole in the Stand. one and format to HD but there were floppy drives that could only handle the 720k version. Had a friend that had a tanbdy and could only use the Standard 3.5 disc.

I got 42%, & i believe every single one was a guess except for the floppy & betamax one. :laugh:

Seriously, had no clue for nearly all of them, but apparently i guess well.

Testing your memory supposes you knew the material at some point in time. This was merely a nerd guess fest.

At least people are admitting to guesses. I scored in whatever the most common range was like 30-40% I think...missed the les paul and one other question I clicked the wrong choice I wanted. I am on an email friends list that gets these but the idiots all search the net for the answers and wonder why others don't get 100% :confused:

Most of these were before my time but when I saw the correct answer (like the pocket radio one) I remembered hearing that somewhere.

27%. I suck. But my excuse is I wasn't alive for most of those events (born 1970)
