Where Knowledge Junkies Get Their Fix
We’ve got a bunch of quizzes for you today, so let’s get started a little earlier than usual. If you watched television at all in the 80s, chances are you caught a glimpse of MacGyver. Therefore, you have 60 seconds to complete this quiz using only your brain, one shoelace, a used postage stamp and a binder clip. How will you type? That’s up to you to figure out. GO.

90% - I don’t know if this a good thing or something to worry about. Number 7 was the one I got wrong.
Nitpick - Number 3 should Foundation instead of Corporation.

My name is NOT Selma or Pattie. I couldn’t answer any of these (ok, I knew the mullet).
But I do know the actor was on General Hospital in the 80s.

I have serious issue with number 8. It was never established except with a het and all the other teams,as well as many others, had sweaters and sticks so…
It was fun though, thanks for putting it together.

Ahem.
I’m German and we often refer to the Swiss army knifes as “diese roten MacGyver Messer”. Good to know that we’re not alone, though.
