66%, although I’ll put the blame on my age and not my knowledge.

Question 4, 1935 Time Magazine? Terry would have been 6 years old to be on the cover.

79%, for my best score yet! But I owe that to a quick ten-minute studying session on pre-1930 NHL goaltenders I did on Wikipedia prior to having even seen any of the questions. Sure enough, three questions happened to pertain to what I read. Pure luck if you ask me!

These were a lot of fun! Keep ‘em coming!

Dear Mr. Woodhouse, I apologize for the error in Question #6. It was 1966 for the Sawchuk cover. Life Magazine had Sawchuk’s face with all of his facial scars accentuated for people to see the damage he had incured without facial protection. Atleast you knew it was Sawchuk for the correct answer!
