This came across my facebook feed. Unless it's been corrected since yesterday, a number of the questions either make no sense, or have incorrect answers listed as correct.

This Quiz needs to be fixed. As SSgt (Join to see) has stated, some of the questions either make no sense, or have incorrect answers. On top of that the scoring engine needs to be fixed, on one question the correct answer was selected but when continuing it deducted a point instead of giving one. Yes there are trick questions, but those are not a problem and everyone can learn from them.
However the three types of rank are: Enlisted, Warrant, and Commissioned.

SSG Jeff Beltran - ;-) Not too worried about my score, and I did have fun. I actually had two answers that I gave that were incorrect, and one that I answered correctly but somehow the system counted it as incorrect. The question referenced above, though I got correct with the answers that were given; my problem with it, it was not a trick question, it just did not have the correct answer as a choice.

BG John S. D. Eisenhower was born in:
a. Panama Canal Zone
b. Kansas
c. Colorado
d. Belgium

That question could go anywhere, most would assume Kansas as his Dad. I know for a fact I missed a few. I am glad you enjoyed it. :D

SSG Jeff Beltran -
Correct answer is c - Denver, Colorado was the summer home of the Doud Family. They also had a winter home in San Antonio, Texas (where the Eisenhower's met and got married).
Panama Canal Zone was where his father was stationed at the time of birth. Mrs. Eisenhower did spend some time in Panama, during that tour.
Kansas of course was his father's boyhood home, but the Eisenhower family did not have a settled place of residence until President Eisenhower bought the home in Pennsylvania.
Belgium was BG Eisenhower's posting as an Ambassador.

I probably should have used Texas instead of Belgium, but I do like to add an off answer which sometimes messes with someone's mindset.

I looked up his son and the answer was yes "C". I learned a few things as well about his son and it was pretty amazing.
