The Ten Commandments Quiz Results:

Below is a basic list of the commandments in column one with the number of times students have gotten the corresponding commandment correct in the quiz. (For a critique of this version see this argument).

Alt: No graven images: 56

Popular but not correct (they are the summary of the law, as Jesus says: "the two greatest commandments"):

Love God 16

Love your neighbor as yourself. 66

Use of Roman Numerals in listing the commandments: 9

How many students got how many correct?

Those with 0 correct: 10 (however, some of these may be frivolous.)

A collection of those commandments that I found interesting follows. Some were considered correct but are still interesting for one reason or another; i.e. how many students spell "steal" with "steel?" An "x" followed by a number indicates the number of times that one occurred. As this collection grew I have begun grouping all of a students "commandments" together. Earlier I had just added them one by one.

Lincoln - What a luxury car should be. Be nice to people. (Comment: "schmuck" rather than "shmuck" as the Yiddish that uses "sch..." comes from the German word "schlimm" which means "bad." The prefix then gives each slang word the connotation of bad (whatever.) An example, on the TV show "Seinfeld" Jerry (our perspective in the show?) interacts with Kramer (a "schlamaza" from bad luck since "maza" is luck, and with George (a "schlimiel" -- a person of bad character) and with Elaine (a "schmata" or bad (loose?) woman.
