10/10. These questions were not on obscure mitzvos. Any child who went to a Jewish day school would have learnt these in Parsha class. Loads of fun though. Thanks. Reply

I thought that fruit trees were to be left for 5 years... And I mentally switched mitzvot with halachah for covering blood... Otherwise, I'm ok with my score. First time I've thought of these mitzvot that tend to be off the main path of my mind... Reply

10/10. Not bad for a goyum. They didn’t seem obscure to me. Reply

Nice, I got 10 out of 10 right; l haven't seen that in a couple of years. Every question brought up the image of where in the Old Testament it could be found. Reply

This Noahide goy would never have expected to do well in this one. The full ten of ten came as a total surprise. Must be your good teaching, thank you Rabbi Posner. Reply
