[MJZ]

I missed 1

[WFP]

18/20 but I aint 50......yet!

[naitram]

13/20 but i'm still young

[MJZ]

Sorry yougens, I'm older than dirt so that gave me an advantage on this.

[Rooster]

17/20 for me, Karen did not do so good 15/20 not bad for someone who grew up in Germany and no American TV.

[PHAZE]

I got 20 for 20, but I think I just test well.  I was 50 in December and I can see how someone as old as MJZ would do better on this test.

[FNGw/08SERK]

17/20 for me, Karen did not do so good 15/20 not bad for someone who grew up in Germany and no American TV.

13/20 here, hats off to Karen.

[harleyteam]

Damn,, I read the questions and answered them before I looked at the choices.

and still aced them.   give us somethin harder.






guess I'm an old fart

[Mr. We]

I didn't have TV, but some of these questions were (are) so much Americana
Eventhough I am south of 50 by enough for some of this (Howdy Doody) I still came up with the ever-popular 17 out of 20. 

[Mr. We]

Damn,, I read the questions and answered them before I looked at the choices.

and still aced them.   give us somethin harder.

OK...

5 is placed to the right of two – digit number, forming a new three – digit number. The new number is 392 more than the original two-digit number. What was the original two-digit number?
 

[Talon]

If you over 60 you probably won't remember anyway!!!

[LRebel]

Not 50 yet (I'm a very young 48 ), but I got 19/20.  I missed the Peter Pan question.... never a Peter Pan fan (ok, maybe the peanut butter, but not the movie).

I guess my memory isn't gone yet

[9 1/2 Beers]

17/20

[WFP]

I still don't know what number 4 refers to unless it is the waltons ...goodnight johnboy...but chet?

and number 5)  i thought tide since we were a colgate family!

[LRebel]

I still don't know what number 4 refers to unless it is the waltons ...goodnight johnboy...but chet?

and number 5)  i thought tide since we were a colgate family!

NBC nightly news with David Brinkley and Chet Huntley

[sadunbar]

At the ripe age of 49 - two wrong...


(#5 and #11)

[Mr. We]

OK...

5 is placed to the right of two – digit number, forming a new three – digit number. The new number is 392 more than the original two-digit number. What was the original two-digit number?
 

For all the WTFs...

1.   xy5 - 392 = xy (1) so y=3 and (1) becomes x35 - 392 = x3 so x=4
and number is 43 --> 435 = 43+392


2.   If the original number has x as the tens digit and y as the ones digit (x and y are integers less than 10) then we can set up the equation:
100x + 10y + 5 = 10x + y + 392
90x + 9y = 387
9(10x+y) = 387
10x + y = 43 ==> x = 4, y = 3
the original number is 43, the new number is 435





3.   There is a lot easier way to think about these.... (for me anyhow). Ie. when you add a digit to the right, you're multiplying by ten (because you're shifting to the left) and adding the number....

So...
10x+5=x+392
9x=387
x=43. Done.

 

[Ironhorse]

I missed the Pepsodent one.

Ok, I'll give you a look into the future;

On their 50th anniversary, a wife found the negligee she wore on her
wedding night and put it on. She went to her husband, a retired MARINE,
and asked, 'Honey, do you remember this?'

He looked up from his newspaper and said; 'Yes dear, I do. You wore
that same negligee the night we were married'

She said, 'Yes, that's right. Do you remember what you said to me
that night?'

He nodded and said 'Yes dear, I said; Oh baby, I'm going to suck the
life out of those boobs and screw your brains out.'

She giggled and said; 'That's exactly what you said. So now it's
fifty years later, and I'm in the same negligee. What do you have to
say tonight?'

He looked her up and down and said; 'Mission Accomplished.'

You don't remember the 6:00 national news on NBC with Chet Huntley and David Brinkley? They ended each news with saying goodnight to each other.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huntley-Brinkley_Report
Of course many more people were watching the 6:00 news on CBS with Walter Cronkite, "and that's the way it was".

Bet you remember David Brinkley's daughter though. Cristy, she was quite a fox back then, remember her in the sports car in Vacation (the movie).
