it says I got 6 of 10, but 2 of those things were (according to the description) actually the most expensive. so, in reality, I got 8 of 10.
2/10
I don't understand this quiz. On #3 I chose the frying pan and got this on my answer: "Incorrect! It was $9.88! The other stuff was $6.49 and $3.99!"
Wouldn't that make it the most expensive item"
There were a few more questions like that, too.
I guess it would have helped if they identified what "IT" is.

6/10. What is funny is I largely did better with the things well before my time over the ones I was alive for.
At some point in this quiz, they started highlighting the correct answer, instead of stating it (when you guess incorrectly).
It was nostalgic and fun.
