Didn't take the quiz, as I honestly know next to nothing about Pearl Harbor and didn't want to get a low score and feel bad about myself.
I do know that the plan to invade Japan was estimated to involve unconscionably high causalities for the allies (since MacArthur refused to accept estimates of Japanese forces) and Japanese civilians. I agree with you - although counter intuitive, the two atomic bombings saved vastly more lives than they took.
