My second annual “Are You Smarter than a Confirmand?” quiz. The questions are almost the same as last year, meaning that some of you won’t like my answers any more than you did last year.
I will post my answers tomorrow. See how you do! (Confirmands generally come in at about 50-70% right.)
Circle True or April Fool for each statement. If the statement is completely true, circle True. If it is not true, partially true or incomplete, circle April Fool.
