Common Knowledge - I got 21

[Guest guest]

I got 21 and if I could have taken a point for each color on question #4, I would have had an even higher score. I'm no genius...I've just seen a similar quiz not more than a month or so ago and I guess some of the answers actually stuck. It's fun. I'll have to try it again.
