Not as smart as I thought!
Saw this recently in The Daily Mail - and did the quiz they printed - was shocked at how hard it was.
This is a great book and its fun to just pick out random questions and see how much you have forgotten or infact did not even know!
Am going to show this to my very bright goddaughter who is 13 - be fun to see how she copes with it.
Enjoy.

Fun
If you like quizzes and puzzles and keeping your brain alive (I am a pensioner and need to!) this is fun and taxing. Did I really learn all this?

Another trip down memory lane
I now have a number of this style of book and they are fabulous! Really nostalgic and a great fun way of remembering your childhood. The questions do seem somewhat easier after all these years!!!
