Why can't I get previous quizes?

Seriously, including Lord Nelson in the same quiz with the winners of American Idol and Dancing with the Stars? One is of historical significance the others are forgotten once their 15 minutes of fame is used up. I look at these quizzes as things that a well informed and educated person should know, knowing who won these stupid reality show contests does not measure up to that level in my opinion.

If you are disappointed that the StarTrib no longer offers previous quizzes, you'll be glad to know Seattle Times does! http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/comicsgames/superquiz.html

Thanks for pointing out the omission of the previous quizzes. We've added a list of the previous 14 quizzes. Sorry for any inconvenience!

Minnesota and North Dakota are also seperated by the Red River. It flows north into Canada.

The answer to number 7 is wrong. "All I Ask of You" is sung by Raoul and Christine.

Neil Young doesn't have a song called Rust Never Sleeps. He has an album with that title that contains a song called "My My, Hey Hey (Out Of The Blue)" which starts with "My My, Hey Hey".

Isaac Asimov Super Quiz of April 2, 2012 has it wrong concerning the question: Who became "King of the Jews" in 10 B.C.? The answer given was Herod (Agrippa 1). Agrippa did not become King until 40 A.D. He was born in 10 B.C. In 10 B.C. Herod the Great was the King. Thank you. Your sincerely Martin L. Gorse

Patrick Henry's quote is most likely an embellishment or fabrication of William Wirt, his biographer. The biography was written 42 years later.
