I must take exception to answer to question #49, the Cuban Missile crises. It was NOT caused by our fearing that the Soviets were teaching te Cubans about Missiles, it was caused by the Soviets placing THEIR MISSILES on Cuban soil, 20 MILES from our Southern Border. The CRISES ITSELF was when American ships Intercepted Russian ones headed for Cuba and refused to allow them to continue.

4/14/24 I was 13 when the 60s began. My parents were older and very conservative. I did not like the Beatles at all or most of the other bands similar to them during that time. We discussed politics and religion at the dining room table. We watched the news on television every night. Our parents discussed world news with us; that’s how I knew the Cuban missile crisis question was incorrect. Also, I have a minor in history. I enjoy taking these quizzes. I do not count wrong the questions where I know they have made a mistake. 😆

And he was assassinated by a police officer who was in league with the FBI. And also, Oswald did not shoot JFK. And we got into Vietnam because of a false flag, a lie. Half of her answers are now disproven.

Question 71: I first saw a microwave oven in 1973 in a factory canteen. I'd only just started there and there was an infra red oven at first,and within about a week it was replaced by a microwave,which none of us had ever heard of. You had to put a plastic key in for it to work,and it took me a while to realise that the keys were colour coded for length, so THAT'S why sometimes the food came out lukewarm. The long ones made it go on longer, obviously. Until this quiz, I thought 1973 was when microwaves were first on the market.

Score was 74. I never heard about, 10 of the questions and guessed at some.

I missed 7 The answer is true

My dad was a guard at Alcatraz, so of course I knew that one. We never lived there, my dad commuted. I was raised in CA, but, was in NJ in 1969. I was invited to Woodstock , but, passed because I saw on TV how teens had to walk for miles to get there, no food, no sanitation & I wasn't a druggie. I got 85 right. Yes, all the answers weren't right.

Well, it’s easy to see that the YOUNGER lady reading those questions didn’t actually live through the 60’s. Many of those questions had little or no sway at that time in most of our young lives! And some were blatantly wrong answers that she wanted us to believe! If you weren’t a hippie you couldn’t have cared less about their dumb culture! Most of us were too busy actually going to school and WORKING!

I was a young girl, but I remember her. She was a big-time model in the sixties and seventies. She was beautiful, I remember the big bangs with an updo and a big bow in the front of her hair and a tweed (I think) outfit with a beautiful helmet hat. She was in all the magazines. I remember Twiggy later on in the 60's. She was pretty, but not like Jean Shrimpton.

This is said to be a test of memory. Yes, several of the questions have to do with remembering something that you once knew. But a lot of the questions are about things I never heard of. So is my memory lacking because I don't remember something I never heard of before? If indeed all these questions and answers are accurate, then it's a test of knowledge of the sixties, not a test of one's memory. And some of these answers are not accurate, either.
