The 33rd Illinois were known as the Normal Regiment, the Teachers Regiment, and the Brains Regiment, as many of it's members came from the Illinois State Normal University and other schools in the state.

No Gettysburg today, it's raining most of the day, oh well, maybe next weekend....

Yesterday's Question: What was the nickname of the 33rd Illinois Infantry Regiment? The Normal Regiment, or The Brains Regiment, or The Teachers Regiment.

Here is today's one point question:

Out of 300 possible points, what did Robert E. Lee score in Mathematics while attending West Point?

Expect the next trivia question to be posted tomorrow at about 9AM EDT. Please post your answer to this question before that time. Thank you!

Our Trivia Prize for Game #20:
MFSCW has won the October Mystery Prize! Congratulations! The November prize will be announced once I go to Gettysburg and pick one up.

Wow. He sure was good in school

In mathematics Lee placed fourth, and received a credit of 197 of a possible 200. In French he was fifth, and was rated 98-1/4 of a possible 100. On the roll of general merit, he was put at the sum of these two ratings — 295-1/4 of a gross 300.
