Ugh, only 8 of 11. But then again since I don't read newspapers or watch the news on television I don't feel to bad about not knowing who the commander of the troops in Afghanistan is, who Britain's PM is. The one I do feel kinda stupid about is the Gulf of Mexico oil leak, never realized that the Gulf got that deep.
Remember the news reports kept referring to the well as being a mile deep? And that's why it was so difficult to cap? I can understand having trouble with the P. M., though.
"Here's Your Score: You correctly answered 11 out of the 11 possible questions, which means you did better on the quiz than 95% of the general public."
I hope that anyone who reads and participates in this forum would be able to score at least an 8 on this test.
9 of 11. Missed the Gulf one because, like someone already mentioned, didn't think the Gulf was that deep. Other one I missed was the SC justice - just chose the only name I recognized.
10/11 here. I missed where the World Cup was held, because I don't follow any sports. If I'd gone with my first impulse, however, I would have been correct.
I drew a blank on the PM and guessed. Scored 100%!
What's scary is that I don't watch TV at all and only skim online news sources giving attention to the catchier stuff. I honestly don't consider myself very well informed at all yet out-scored the vast majority of the population. If someone like me falls into the category of most well informed I think it's time to start working on the Mad-Max-Mobile 'cause we're seriously screwed.
