Lizzie Borden Society Forum

For the last couple of years I've been the member of a trivia site where all of the quizzes are created by the members themselves. I have only created 3 because I actually like taking the quizzes much better than creating one. The ones I did create were just for fun to see what kind of response they received. Because the other members also have the option of rating your quiz. If anyone else is a trivia lover, and would like to check out the site sometime I have provided the links to my quizzes, but you can check out the rest of the site from there also. I just finished correcting a punctuation error to one of my quizzes, and while I was checking it over decided it might be fun to post the links.There are quizzes on everything under the sun here, I've become addicted to it myself .

I did the first one (Lizzie) and got 19 out of 20 correct.

The one I missed was the number of Andrew's wounds.

It really would be difficult for anyone who hasn't really done a lot reading on the case. And who doesn't have a good memory.

That's a good idea, to do a Lizzie trivia on the site. Even if people get a lot of them wrong, you're helping to spread the truth about her and the case and to debunk the myths. The goofs that are perpetuated in books, on websites and even documentaries are almost as horrifying as the murders. Today I was reading that Lizzie said she was eating "apples" in the barn. Ay, carumba!

Yes it's an interesting test.
I found a couple of little problems with the quiz, tho, but I can't contact Melissa/Allen.
It's frustrating.

What are the little problems? You can post them, I can always be contacted here.

It's just little stuff. I asked Stefani today if I sent her the Black Dahlia material to her would she forward it to you and she agreed. So I will include a note about the quiz.


(I figured out a way to reach you- I'm so pleased!)

I got 20/20...

But I was forewarned!

kat, I have not received the Black Dahlia material. To where will it be forwarded? Thanks so much, I am looking forward to reading it.

Did you receive everything? My sister is sending it to your e-mail address.
Do you wish to open your Private Message feature on the Forum?
Stef can help.

Yes I received the information. And thank you very much I found the Black Dahlia info very interesting . And, no, I would not mind having my PM feature activated.

You're welcome!
Hope the info is useful!

I hope it works.
It's been a long time since I fooled around in there!

I got 20 out of 20 on the Lizzie Quiz, 10 out of 15 on the Black Dahlia Quiz and the Titanic Quiz is offline.

I was going to say Fairhaven Guy that I hope the question that you got wrong was not question number 3, but I see it was a different one.

19 of 20 - missed the deceased child question. However, I always thought Andrew had 11 wounds. Guess this quiz taught me something.

I took the first trivia test and missed two. I feel so silly. I mixed up the number of blows between Andrew and Abby.
I enjoyed the trivia though and didn't realize how much I really know about the case. Of course I have read almost all of the books and have been fascinated by this case for years.

I think it is a very good quiz and the alternate choices are well-conceived! That must be the hardest part- figuring out what to offer as other choices!
