Miss any of these questions and you get to eat mutton 3 days in a row!

I got them all right! Even though some of the questions were wrong!
Very good Alice and welcome to the forum! No mutton for you.
Yes a few of the questions contain information which may not be true and probably come from the host of misleading books on the Borden case.
Fun find, Harry.
Methinks we'll raise the avg score for that quiz! I got 20/20 too.
Welcome to the board Alice! (Guess it was only a matter of time before Alice showed up)
Thanks, Harry. I wanted to correct them on the mistakes, but, you must join up and become a member before you can send them any info.
Geez, I was marked as having one wrong because I spelled Lizzie's latter day home as "Mapelcroft." Give me a break!!
I scored 19 out of 20. I missed the color of the dress Miss Lizzie Burned. I thought that it was a trick question because it reads that the answer should read one word so I put "Bluewhite" instead of blue! Oh well, I tried Mark
Fun quiz, thanks! I have to eat Mutton though, I missed the number
of blows to Abby, I knew it wasn't 40 but couldn't remember the
exact number.
I got them all right, but I can never remember how many
times they were whacked, it was an educated guess mostly.....
thank god i don't have to go out and find some mutton!
Nobody can remember the exact number.
It's 29.
19 to Abby
10 to Andrew.
If someone could come up with a quicky rhyme, maybe we all could then remember!
10 sharp blows to Andrew's head
19 Blows laid Abby dead
29 blows in all
just 2 or 3 would have made both fall
Mark
I think that is brilliant!
Especially the first 2 lines..they say it all
(For those of poor memory, after all...)
Thats great, Mark. For some reason I always recall Andrew as having 11 whacks, I'll have to try to remember your quatrain.
cute Mark, I'll remember it now!
Okay. Got 'em all. I had lamb shanks last Saturday, so...
It's test time again! Here'a another test from that same web site. Slightly (very slightly) harder. One or two answers are questionable and one is tricky.

These 2 tests are from a web site titled "Women Who Kill". There are more tests on other crimes at: http://www.funtrivia.com/dir/8829.html

I got "tripped up" over Emma having supposedly fallen down the stairs.
Good pun Tina-Kate!
What is interesting is the percentages of the number of people who answered each question correctly. Only 11% knew Nance O'Neil and 15% knew Mrs. Churchill.
Overall they only got a little more than 50% right. These people need to visit this forum!
I just took the Susan Smith test. Got 9 out of 10 missing the date of the crime.
I had just moved to S.C. in September of 1994 and the crime took place in October. Union, S.C., where the crime occurred is less than an hour's drive from where I live.
There are literally thousands of trivia tests on all different subjects on that site. Choose your poison.

I took the Betty Broderick test, I was fascinated with that story,
but didn't do too well on test!
The Lizzie test was easy though I misspelled Nance to Nancie!
Thanks Harry, fun site.
I got four wrong...Pass the mutton and a big bottle of ketchup.
