how would you know entrants wont google it?

 

Honestly, we just expect honesty. If anybody gets them all right, I have super computer hacking skills

 

Yeah because I doubt most keep the elevation of the Denver Mint as common knowledge amongst a few other questions that are so generic, if anyone knows the direct answer, they likely looked it up.

 

what do mean??? i kan ace the test

 

i know the answer to some of those questions, but i googled the in the past (doing research on some coins i have and would like to have)
Does that count as googling for the answers to?

 

Just take guesses on the ones you don't know.

 

Prior knowledge helps when you do it. So I am going to say you are in the green.

The buffalo's name was Buffy the vampire slaying buffalo. The only vampire slaying buffalo that ever existed. That is where they got the idea for the movie, but of course nobody would pay to go see a buffalo slay vampires, so they used a hot chick instead.
