All correct, top 8%, scored better then 92% of those tested. Does that mean my grade will be taxed to pay for those that didn't get anything right?

I missed one...Britian's PM..oops!

It's interesting to see what a majority of people DON'T know, such as which party has the majority in the House and what is the symbol of Islam.

I got all of them right. Goes to show you don't have to watch TV news to know about what is going on since I don't have cable and rarely watch TV. The internet is a wonderful thing sometimes.

Same result here! I thought I was going to miss with that awful picture of the S.C. Justice.

Obviously David Cameron needs some international press time.

Plus all those damnable Brit's names sound the same

I got all 13, also. Someone who doesn't pay attention to the news might have trouble, but I have to say those are pretty easy questions.

I got all 13, and did better than 92% of the public. But then I always have.
