Glad I'm a natural-born citizen, else I might have technically passed the test, but the immigration officials would be well within their rights to sending me back for being a smart-ass when they got to my answer to #68: "What is one thing Benjamin Franklin is famous for?"

I would have likely talked about him being a "ladies' man" and cited his treatise "Advice to a Friend on Choosing a Mistress"[1]. Not quoting it here, as to not run afoul of local decency standards, but it's a hoot to read.

Ben Franklin would be cancelled as soon as he stepped out of the time-traveling phone booth.
