What Your Score Means

14-15 Correct- You are combination of a both a genius and a direct descendant of George Washington Gale. 

12-13 Correct- Obviously you graduated from Galesburg HS to be this smart. I know you at the most would have gotten 2-3 B’s at GHS, I will go change your records.

10-11 Correct- While you are smart, you messed around a little too much in school. It is recommended you read all of Carl Sandburg’s books. 

8-9 Correct- Too much TV and too much video games at your house. You need to spend one hour each night driving from McDonalds on Henderson St. to HyVee on East Main St. 

6-7 Correct- You just moved to Galesburg. Welcome to the Burg!! 

0-5 Correct- My guess is that you wear a Blue Devil outfit for Halloween and hang with Don O’Brien in Quincy. And realize that we did NOT illegally recruit Bumpy Nixon- given a choice, everyone would prefer to live in Galesburg not Quincy!
