I got a 6, due to some lucky guesses.
I'm guessing due to some unlucky ones also. :oldtongue:
 
3. The 2 important( nobel and \lambda) and something random. :(

Edit: Nice quiz by the way. You should make some more!
 
6 lucky, 6 not so lucky..
 
7 pretty much guessing. Boo. I didn't know he played violin or was married.
 
8. Didn't know his violin was named Beatles...
 
3 correct... Honestly, I was not expecting more.
 
Missed one so close-_-
 
9! Does he ever give a reason to why he was a vegan? I thought that was really interesting
 
Got 6 of 12, 1st time.

After logging in, and attempting to exactly recreate the original errors for archive, I accidentally picked the correct year (1921) that he got his Nobel Prize and got 7 right. I usually remember numbers easier than names, but I had picked 1919.

I wonder after initially waiting all those years, if he might have forgotten exactly which year himself... by the time he was my present age. I've had a heck of a time with precise dates on resumes.

I thought I knew 4 answers and really only knew 3. I had no answer to the other 9. Surprising as I've read so much of Einstein's scientific role, but picked up so little in personal details.

But at least you could even spit up 3-4 things correctly about him. I can reach up to 2 only.
