Incorrect "Trivia Quiz" Answer?

Ha! Yeah, me too.

Sometime I get better scores after taking the same quiz several times.

 

You had to be 21yo AND had to hold at least a General class license to administer the morse/written tests for Novice and/or Conditional.

Speaking of improvements, there's some room here: " here's another borken one from today's quiz:"

 

You're hired!

(that came from a place I worked a long time ago, a typo in a software bug report, we all started using it.)
