I scored 7 out of 10. The questions I missed were "What type of Sazophone does Lisa play?" "What is the current spelling of Bart's best friend?" and "What episode did Dolly Parton do a guest apperance on" I couln't remember her being on at all. In typing this I finally remembered that she was on the Super Bowl episode.

The quiz has a wrong answer. Milhouse's name is spelled with an 'e'.

Ruined my perfect score

I KNEW there was an e in Milhouse. Argh! I missed that, and the Lisa's Sax question. 23/25 (or, I guess, 24/25?)

Not all that well, although I did get Milhouse's name right (despite the test's goof-up). I also missed the Lisa's sax question. I'd been sure it was a tenor, but yeah, it doesn't surprise me that I'd gotten that one wrong.

You know, I was sure it was a tenor sax, too... And I'm uttery convinced there's been a tenor sax on the show. Maybe BG Murphy's?

7/10. I didn't know which episode they were referring to with the croc (I guess I haven't seen that one yet). I also had Homer's age wrong, and uhm one more thing (I forgot) . I had the sax correct!

You might well be right. I best remember Lisa's tribute song to BG Murphy: "Jazzman". I'm pretty sure that was a tenor. That may be what's throwing me off: Lisa was singing, not playing.

I think Lisa's played a tenor before (borrowed from Bleeding Gums), as well as bari, though the one she's usually shown with is a bari sax.

I don't think they're right with Homer's age either. When he becomes an inventor, isn't he 39?

His age has changed a few times (as has their house number) but I think it's commonly accepted as 36 now.

9 out of 10 for the first one...

Then 23 out of 25 for the second one.

I'm sure Lisa was going for tenor sax chair against Samantha Stanky in the episode that featured Ralph's "My cat's breath smells like cat food" line....
