I was born in 1946, and got 20/20. Must say some of the questions were kinda obvious, like the one about Rosa giving up her seat. The other two options were men and the King George VI versus King George V. Good fun to try this quiz out though. It's I Love Lucy not The Love Lucy show.

I was born in 1949. My parents were news junkies. My father would discuss the latest news. At night he would read the papers to us little children. Of course we did not understand a lot. However, we were expected to listen and ask questions. in the 1950s news stories remained in the public for longer periods of times. At school it was the same thing. We were expected to know what was going on in the world. We had extensive studies in geography and were expected to know the current events of those places.

We really did get a batter education then. I taught college for years and am appalled at how little students know about history. That's why it is so easy to fool them into thinking that socialism/communism are fair and equitable forms of government. They just don't get it - and I believe it's not by accident, but by design.

Also, question #14: "In the 1950s, what kind of music was popular?" The given answer was Rock 'n Roll. The two most obvious answers would be both Pop and Rock 'n Roll. Pop, including singers up through 1955 such as Perry Como and Patti Page, and Rock 'n Roll after 1955 when Elvis became nationally known. Plenty of Pop singers, such as Al Martino and Frank Sinatra, were scoring hits through the late '60s.

I didn’t see my score. Being born in 1950 myself I was a baby and we had no TV until I was around 8 years old. My dad worked 2nd shift so there was no parental discussion of issues. My dad died shortly after I turned eleven. We never had a color TV. I’d guess my score was 16 or 17. There was one I had no clue on. Others I didn’t have time to read - cataracts.
