Daisy 4 years ago 10 of 12 Hey,I ‘m Dutch ,have visited many times while stationed in Germany. Paul Lubell 4 years ago The question concerning the number of bicycles fished out of Amsterdam’s canals is unfair even though I guessed correctly. I doubt that even very many natives would know the answer. Better to stick with history questions. Managed 8 correct, only two of which were guesses. Spike 4 years ago Only been there once on business, guessed on most of the answers. Very informative, yest there are a lot of bicycles in Amsterdam / Holland. Didn’t know you could go fishing for them. Diane 4 years ago Eliminating tolls lead to economic growth. New York city could learn a lesson from this fact. Gail Berry 4 years ago 4/12 Hahahahahaha.

Robert S. 4 years ago Did anyone else think that question number 2 was odd because it did not tell you where the Dutch government is centered? I like these games because I learn something from them. I also got 7 of 12 and most of the ones I got wrong were the ones you would have to guess at such as how many bicycles are fished out of the canals yearly. Rick 4 years ago Most people aren’t going to search for the correct answer. We could learn a little if the answers were explained better. Such as, if the government isn’t in Amsterdam, please include where it actually is in the answer. It wouldn’t take much for AMAC to do that, would it? wpDiscuz240Would love your thoughts, please comment.x()x| ReplyInsert Login Login Join Renew Member Benefits Newsline Member Benefits Advocacy Our Actions About Advocacy Issues Get Involved Weekly Update Annual Report Find Your Representative AMAC App Better for America Podcast Book Club AMAC Blog FAQ About Us Overview Our Team Our Stance on Key Issues Magazine Medicare Games Voice Your Opinion in AMAC Polls AMAC in the Media AMAC Action AMAC Foundation Social Security Guarantee Prime Directives Brief Prime Directives Details The AMAC Store Sweepstakes AMAC Active Contact Advertise with AMAC Terms & Conditions Privacy Policy
