How long would you have survived in Tudor and Elizabethan England?
This is one of the most entertaining quizzes I’ve come across—meant to determine how long any of us would have survived in Tudor or Elizabethan England. The questions are really fun. Oh, and I wouldn’t have lasted more than a month. No great surprise there; flourishing Richard III’’s white boar badge would have been sure to attract the beady eyes of Tudor and his minions.

Well, there's a surprise. I hoped to last more than a month but... I threw the rich uncle a party, scoffed and shuddered at killing the lawyers, advised the teenager on birth control, wore boots (I love boots!), drank ale/beer/mead (well, in real life I like rum and vodka, but close enough as it was the only alcoholic option, and I'm suspicious of water quality in those times), made my home wherever I went, pretended to be wastrel until people could laud my true colours, laughed at the thieves with my wallet, and survived off my scintillating wit. I was tempted to survive off dagger and rapier, but if I want to get ahead at court I presume scintillating wit would be of more use to me.
