I missed 3 that I don't recall ever hearing/reading before... I blame the Louisiana Grade School system for not making it interesting enough to hold my attention.

I got asked the same question twice. The one about Haym Solomon.
All of the others were pre-3rd grade knowledge. At least... in Virginia!

100%!
If you've every watched the movie "The Patriot", quite a few questions can be answered. Specifically, Yorktown being Cornwallis' place of surrender.
And a brief mention of "Salomon" in one of the speeches in the director's cut.

I scored a lowly 80. Maybe I should go study and sit in a corner for a while.
