SCORING:
50: You're lying.
40-49: You're an 80's trivia BUFF! You may know absolutely nothing about
this decade, but at least you can name every member of Kool and the
Gang. (Which is something that may come in handy someday)
30-39: Okay, so you don't know everything about the 80's, at least you
can say you've watched each of the Ringwald movies at least 35 times.
(That's quite an accomplishment.)
20-29: We give you credit for trying, but maybe you should listen to
"The Age of Velcro: Trapped in the Eighties with Linh", and catch up on
the questions you missed.
0-19: What, did your mother let you eat too many Pop-Rocks as a child?
Did all that Aqua Net and "teasing" go to your head? Some of those
questions were SO easy!
