"How Star-Spangled Smart Are You?"

That is the question posed to readers of The Lowell Sun on the front page of today's edition, by Dave Pevear and Jim Campanini.

It was a tough test.  Out of 25 questions I got only 19 correct, thus getting a score as a "Bunker Hill Patriot".  The grading, in terms of "Patriotic IQ Levels" are:

1. Yorktown Patriot (excellent): 25 points

2. Valley Forge Patriot (very good): 20-24 points

3. Bunker Hill Patriot (average to good): 15-19 points

4. Sunshine Patriot (fair to middling): 10-14 points

5. Benedict Arnold Patriot (traitorous failure): 0-9 points.

Try your hand.
