Quiz #3 ( A little Easier Than The First Two)

I’ve been getting some feedback that the quizzes have been a bit too challenging, not for everyone, but for some. So here is my solution; starting with today, I’ll do a quiz every so often that won’t be as difficult for the masses.

Here we go, you know the procedure, try answering all of the questions before scrolling down to see the answers, and please refrain from using Google.


1. What was the major interstate that went from Maine to Florida before interstate 95 was built? (Hint – it is still there, some of you live near it and the Lazy Susan Dinner Theater is just off of it.)
2. Who was our 16th president?
3. Name two “superhunks” that guest starred and played boyfriends to Rachel & Monica on Friends.
4. What is the capital of New York?
