There's one that no one will get without cheating, guaranteed!
Random guesses submitted for me and I'll be surprised if I got half correct.

Pretty strong statement to make!!

I never cheat and was pretty confident about one of the most difficult ones due to my training as a cadet nurse in 1959/60. Added to the fact it was one of the questions asked on our State final paper. (If that's the one you are referring to)

I am and still don't think accusations of cheating should be levelled at anyone.

I haven't accused anyone of cheating. I made a general statement of opinion.....

No, because if I get it right I'll be wondering if everyone thinks I'm a cheat..

What am I saying.. if I get any right I could be accused of cheating!

Don't turn this on me with your stupid 'Methinks the lady doth protest too much'. You said it. Not me.

I am standing up for EVERYONE who does this damn quiz.

Personally I feel if anyone gets 8 correct then you will have made others think they have been cheating.

That's all. You have no idea of peoples life and experience skills.
