@Wolfgirl: Okay, each question is out of three. You can get a total of 27 points. My comments are included in italics. And @Everyone else: If you're planning to take this quiz, DO NOT READ THIS!

 

1. The little thing at the end of your shoelace (just guessing). Yes! Three points.

2. Mixed up. That's right. Another three.

3. March 14 (I actually knew this one! I knew reading Muse would come in handy someday!) Yep. 3/14. Three more.

4. Vanilla! Duh! Well, I hate to take points off your score for disagreeing with me, so . . . Let's say that's a free perfect score. Three.

5. Mackenzie (knew it!) Um...no. Mackenzie is actually her younger daughter. The oldest one is Jessica. But two points, because that is the name of one of them.

6. Apollo? IDK, I've never read Percy Jackson. It sounds interesting, though, I probably should. The correct answer is Hephestus. I give you another two.

7. Ampersand! I knew once, forgot, and then was reminded because of this quiz! Thank you, ZNZ! That's right! Three.

8. 12. And this is what the CB does for you! Well, yeah, that's how I know, too. ;D Three.

9. Because I have nothing better to do. Good answer. You get a three. Although, now I think of it, that's really sad that you don't have anything better to do.

 

Your scores have been added up. You get a 25 on the RUKQ. (Random Useless Knowledge Quiz) Excellent job!

The first one is the tip of your shoelace and I know because I watched that Phineas and Ferb episode, Vanilla, and there are too many to answer.

4. In general, chocolate, but in terms of ice cream, vanilla.

 

5. I believe JK Rowling's oldest child is named Jessica.

7. The proper name for one of these & is an ampersand.

 

8. I think Andrew Lang wrote 12 fairy books, but I'm not totally sure.
