The year 1982. It seems like yesterday, doesn't it? Ronald Reagan was president, Dallas and M*A*S*H ruled the ratings, and Olivia Newton-John donned spandex while singing about… fitness.
It's hard to believe all that was 39 years ago!
We've created a little quiz to test your memory about that year. Did these events happen in 1982 or not? Let's see how well you remember it. Good luck!

Got 12 out of 14 right,so that must be pretty good! The 80"s was a super-cool decade!
You got 9 out of 10 correct
Your memory is like a time capsule. You remember where you were and what you were doing when all these events happened. Congrats!
9/10 but there were 14 questions. I'm no mathematician but I don't think that Einstein could figure out the answer to this equation.

Says I got 10/10 correct, not correct, I got 10/14 Why?
Missed two. They tripped me on one with yes and no being switched. You're tricky, MeTv.
11 out of 14 😁
Lol...This quiz is really messed up 🙃😳🤔
10 out of 14.
10/14
I thought metv stood for memorable tv, you know, tv of the 50's, 60's, and 70's. Nothing memorable ever happened in the 80's. Well, maybe the tv show "Square Pegs".
8/14. 2, 3, 4, 10, 11 and 14.
10/10! No matter how many I got wrong, I still got a perfect score. My kind of game! :-) Didn't see the Lorem ipsum, though. As an old computer guy, it's the only "latin" I know. Run it through a translator sometime for fun.
Hey! Quid pro quo is Latin. Of course they don't ever give you the definition when they talk about it. It means "this for that", also Rx is Latin. You know more Latin if you think about it.
Question # 1- " EPCOT opened at Walt Disney World".
I answered "YES".
METV- "Incorrect, the Theme Park opened October 1.
My response to that is - Epcot opened October 1, 1982!! I was right!!
