<p>Yeah, yeah, we all remember the Verb superhero and Interplanet Janet. But the important question is this: how much useful information did you gain from all those Saturday mornings spent absorbing the <em>Schoolhouse Rock</em> canon? </p>
<p>Today&#8217;s quiz tests <em>Schoolhouse Rock</em> as much as it does you, by measuring the amount of actual education that&#8217;s stuck with you in the fields of grammar, science, and American history/government. (We&#8217;re going to trust that you know your multiplication tables.) </p>
<p>Take the Quiz: <a target="_blank" href="http://www.mentalfloss.com/quiz/quiz.php?q=410&#038;p=1"><em>Schoolhouse Rock</em></a></p>

Forget your commemorative Pokemon/Sesame Street/or NFL Editions.
