I got 15 out of 15 correct. . . But!
Somewhere earlier in this thread I had been tipped off about Jonathan Edwards, which I wouldn't have otherwise known. Had I not known, I would have eliminated one of the three choices (Graham) as laughable, and so would have had a choice of two (Finney and Edwards)left, which I would have decided by chance, so I MIGHT still have achieved 100%, but I equally might NOT have guessed correctly. I forget, at this moment, whether the sample 15 gave "don't know" as an option for each question. If it did, I should have chosen that one.
Frankly, I thought the sample set of 15, at least, should have generally been pitifully obvious to any grown-up (with the exception, in my case, of Edwards).
