As a college student, I can use wikipedia as a source. As long as I cite my source. No matter the source, you should always fact check.

Where do you go to college? I know you don't go to VU - My prof. would kill me if I used Wikipedia.
Question #19 has been thrown out. A test-taker called and claimed it was the Mills Brothers that first recorded the song "Cabdriver" and it looks like they're correct. Everyone gets five free points.
Great quiz! Fun too. especially for folks over 45.
