Answers To The Quiz
1)
How long did the Hundred Years War last?
116 years, from 1337 to 1453.
2)
Which country makes Panama hats?
Ecuador.
3)
From which animal do we get catgut?
From sheep and horses.
4)
In which month do Russians celebrate the October Revolution?
November. The Russian calendar was 13 days behind ours.
5)
What is a camel's hair brush made of?
Squirrel fur.
6)
How long did the Thirty Years War last?
Thirty years, of course. From 1618 to 1648.
Note: It's amazing how the simple can be not-so-simple and the obvious not-so-obvious. And when you've been wrong five times, you don't trust yourself anymore, and even when truth is presented to you, because of past failures, you doubt the obvious...you doubt you.
Don't let past failures convince you that you can't be right, that you can't do it, that success isn't destined for you. We don't fail because we don't succeed, we fail because we quit, believing that we can't win.
