I guessed correctly on the 2 questions I was uncertain about. Perhaps I should go out and buy a lottery ticket today. ;)

Missed two.
How long the speech occurred afterward and one fill in the blank...
I missed the one about where it was written. The envelope story was the common tale when I was a kid, IIRC. I have to thank Sister Mary Leo for making me learn it to compete in speech contest in 5th grade. Thanks for posting, Richard and thanks to my deceased teacher.
Missed the envelope/where was it written question, and the number of words. Thanks for posting, it's always interesting to see how much of this stuff we remember/have knowledge of.

Sad part is Guy, you probably did better that a majority of Americans could do.
I too missed the "where it was written" question. :(
I missed the number of people and would have missed the "envelope" if I had not read the above posts. ;)
We had to memorize it in 7th grade.
