  • Yes (I've seen one)
  • Yes, and also my Oreos in milk sometimes.
  • Who cares?
  • Yes. Hey, if Pythonesque Vikings can sing about it...
  • Kensington?

  • How about Wayzata.
  • Bad, and very good with sweet butter.
  • I have.

I'm 0% Minnesotan. I guess living here for 15 years still hasn't made any impression on me.

I got 53 % and I'm from northern Minnesota.

This quiz should have been called "Are you from the Twin Cities?"

It doesnt say anything about Ice Fishing, Pulltabs, Cold weather oddities, and others.
Oh well.
In Beverly Hills 90210, the girl says "we are from WAYzata Minnesota" They totally said it wrong. You think they would have done some research.

they could have said Shakopee, Mahotmedi, Orono....or other hard to say MInnesota towns.

I agree. There were to many highway and speed limit questions. I live in a NW suburb and the only highways I drive frequently in town are to the MAO. Oh ya, that could have been a question. Do you refer to going into Mpls. or St.Paul, as going to town?
How about when you reply to a guestion with a drawn out, Yaaaah...sounds like saw, or well then.

I think the general consensus is they should've left out the Minnesota road test exam questions and included more cultural, Minnesotan language quirks and other Minnesota-isms. It was a subpar exam at best.

I dont think many people can grasp the idea that you can actually WALK across the Mississippi where the river starts. Its like 20 ft wide and ankle deep. Compare that to around Missouri or Arkansas where the mighty Miss gets to be a nearly mile wide.

There's actually an unofficial bridge across it right there.

It's particularly beautiful in the winter when you ski up there. On a nice sunshiny day you can ski down there, watch the otters pop up on the ice, roll up in a ball, and frolic on the ice.
