Seven correct answers, DAWNIE. Out of the 25 people who have taken the quiz, you rank very high. I'd have to check the other site to see how high exactly, but I'm pretty sure 7 correct answers is within the top 5.

You are Sandusky, OH
Loser!
You are boring, have no sense of adventure, no sense of humor, you have no friends, in fact you're no good to this world. You are definitely Sandusky, OH!

Famous Sandusky, Ohio, residents: probably a few hockey players, but no one worth a second glance
