If You Can Pass This Quiz, It Means Your Memory Is Doing Really Well 

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.

Sorry, there were WAY too many inaccuracies and subjective answers to make this quiz remotely viable.

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. 😆

Atticus Finch was NOT the "darling" protagonist of To Kill a Mockingbird, because he wasn't darling. Scout was darling

I am a proud 84 year old elderly person. Nothing wrong about being elderly .

Some of these have multiple correct answers

#20 should be Scout

Yes, in 1968…I got 89/100…..I am not American and some of them were pretty American focused, but all the same very proud of that score! I contest the question on To Kill a Mockingbird….the correct answer is Scout….Atticus was not the protagonist and he wasn’t a “darling”……!!

I object to the word "elderly"

I wonder how many even remember Small Faces

It does help when the answer comes up before question is finished as in question 38

85 correct, and I was born in 62. Had 3 older sisters who were born in the 1940s . Learned a lot from them

Some of her answers were quite subjective but giving her grace and using her answers as correct, I got 71 right. Of those I got wrong, I had never heard of 10 of them before … and I was born in 1957. It was a lot of fun anyway.

If you can remember the 60's you probably wernt there.

The first talking dolls were marketed in the 1890s.

Most enjoyable for an 84 year old.

83 correct. I was born in 58.

I’m not American but I got 74/100 correct. I could add 2 if i included the answers that were not correct. Cuba missile crisis and To Kill a Mockingbird.

That was fun! Thanks

I missed 7 The answer is true

It’s Diana Spencer with a C not Diana Spenser

Not a memory test. Many of the questions were about obscure information that few people knew about.

To me the boob tube was a stretchy strapless woman's top made of a clingy knit fabric. The TV was " the idiot box". But I'm not American.

Not all your answers are correct. I was there.

Did great. It waz fun to do!!

True he was assisnated in 68. I got 70/100 correct.

91 correct, assassinated 1968. And I'm really under the weather with COVID, which was not part of the 60's. That's a 2020 phenomenon.

That was fun.

True

88% - born in 1961

I did great and it was fun to do

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr was assassinated on April 4, 1968. My total score: 44 out of 50. Great quiz, thank you!

Yes 1968, it was fun I miss 4

Not good! I missed 31. The bonus is true.

Going way too fast for me, I don’t have time to think !!!!!!

I was born 1961. Now I’m elderly ??? I can’t believe it???

Yes he was ,100,i was born in 1964

I agree!!!

You have to know the answers in the first place in order to remember them. 😄 I was doing really well at first then every once in a while it felt like I was on Jeopardy 😆 I thought is this question something everyone should know or only for Jeapardy ready contestants, some blew pass me😮 I got a lot of them right tho. I think I did quite well. 1968 Martin Luther King was killed. My uncle died that evening got hit by cars crossing the street in the rain. I graduated HS that year.

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

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.

True I got 85 right

How dare you call me elderly because I remember the sixties

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.

I would suggest the narrator practice some names/words prior to filming instead of pronouncing them atrociously. Practice makes perfect or so I'm told.

Missed 5 and bonus is true..

Yes

Yes 1968

“Groovy” was a word that anyone who was hip in the sixties, abhorred. And I never heard anyone even say the word “Ace.” California boy.

I got 70

Looking through the comments it see quite a few answers were wrong. If you are going to set a quiz then at least get it right. And don't slant it towards america. A lot of us are not American. At least let it be known in the beginning so people like me don't waste our time

92 correct

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!

True. 19 wrong, mostly music genres.

The peace sign was created by Gerald Holtom on behalf of the British Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament in 1958. 11:59

Jean Shrimpton was dubbed the most beautiful girl in the world and top model of the 60’s not Twiggy. After Jean left modeling for acting Twiggy came on scene.

During the Cuba question. The Soviets were building nuclear facilities on Cuba.

April 4 1968 .

true

Object to the description 'Elderly'

Most of these I had no interest in knowing in the 60's so I disqualify myself . . . . groovy

Questions should rely on objective not subjective questions. The protests in the 60's was mostly protests against the war in Vietnam.

Most of your answer are flat out wrrong and opinion

Soviet Union was first into space.

How do you get a score?

I would argue with question 14 Who shot J F K

I got 87 right.

1968

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.

Brown vs Board of Education was about desegregation.

I missed 21

There were questions in there I wasn’t expected to know as I’m not American I didn’t study their history. I don’t know much about Cuba, but I’d believe they would of been on Cubas doorstep. I don’t think I got a fair few questions wrong, but I got a lot rift as well maybe about 70 questions, so did I pass?

Did she read the questions first, please.

Answer to question eleven should be Barack Obama and Lady Diana Spencer. Since her father was Earl Spencer Diana was given the title of Lady at birth.

False, it was more like 1971-72, the same year RFK was assassinated if I remember correctly. I graduated from high school in 1966 and I missed 17 Questions, what was the total number of Questions?

Score was 78 by these answers but I disagree with some of the answers given. Example… yes hippies were peace and love but they were also into protesting peacefully against political issues. Ever heard of sit in protests.

Many of the answers are simply not correct. The Beatles where not the idols of the flower power generation, no way, I was there Charlie.

Too slow

Elderly???? You need to rethink your definitions.

USSR won the space race

funny, we really never achieved desegration

From the first question, it was not east coast language. Adios

No use to me it’s all American.

For the elderly? Gee what a great way to get subscribers by insulting them.

you don't have clue. It wasn't all about black culture in the 60's

false

Terrible quiz reminds of the Teachers i had in the sixties

Greed and corruptions worldwide. God will punish ALL. POWER TO THE PEOPLE. Hola from Queretaro. God will have the final word on all of us. You are not fooling anyone. RIP Everyone Everywhere

Very biased toward AMERICAN knowledge, not GENERAL (world-wide) knowledge.

You need to go back to v School

Halted this quiz very early on - it is trash
