For a short month, it’s kind of long.
Anyway, here’s a quiz to mark the passing of the shortest, cruelest month. Hint: It’s more fun if you don’t Google the answers first. It’s a test of trivia, not typing.

Good quiz, despite the fact I only got 4 out of ten. At least I got the Beatles one right.
Oh oh. If you only got four right, that means I made it far too difficult. I’ll ease up on the next one.
Mike, you beat me by one!
Clearly, I need to lower the bar.
4/10 for me, too. It was fun, though. I got the space shuttle, New Amsterdam, and the music ones. I’m not sure what that says about the quiz, but it says quite a bit about me.
9/10
erm… the best picture winner from 2007 wasn’t in the list of nominees you offered.
No Country for Old Men won in 2007.
The Departed won for Best Picture at the Academy Awards presented on Feb. 25, 2007. It wasn’t intended to be a trick question, but I can see how you might interpret it that way. No Country For Old Men won the Oscar at the 2008 ceremony.
Ah! LOL it WAS a trick question! The Departed won Best Picture of 2006 – at the ceremony IN 2007!
Anyway, point taken. Future Oscar questions, if there are any, will be worded more carefully. (And I’ve clarified this one.) You still appear to be the champion for this particular quiz.
