I got 1 right about Russian's Revolution.  I am so upset about the camel hair brush one, how can they even call it a camel hair brush?

P.S. Error, remember not to borrow money to buy a house!   I'll quit after this reminder before you get mad at me.

1 question; Who are these questions supposedly simple for? 



3. There is no single animal that catgut is obtained from. It can be obtained from numerous types of livestock.

5. The brushes can indeed be made from Camels hair.  Goat, sable, badger, bear, pony, synthetics or any combination of those have all become acceptable substitutes as well.

9. Aka the Kiwi fruit; originated in China but became popular after commercialized growing in NZ.




I also got #2 and #10, so I still failed.
