Scoring Guide
0-13 points: Quick, Take the Quiz Again
Looks like the two of you need to plan a “date” out to reconnect. While you might not have to know what shoes each other is wearing, it’s time to study up on the basics. Grab some Post-it notes and begin jotting notes to each other.

14-27 points: Covering Middle Ground
While you’re not ready for an advanced course on Favorites 101, you’ve met the standard for knowing what color shirt to get for each other on your birthdays. If you’re ready for some extra credit, share your most embarrassing moment with each other.

28-40 points: Quiz Bowl Champions
Watch out for the Quiz Masters. When it comes to knowing each other, or just listening, you two pass with flying colors. Looks like the students are advancing to teachers when it comes to communication. Bonus question: Who can name more state capitals?

Option: Take the quiz with your dad, aunt, uncle, grandma or any adult with whom you have a close relationship.
