Question #10 was kind of bogus.  Phrased incorrectly, IMHO.  About the Wisconsin protests.

I only got 9, but there weren't any questions about nekkid people doing strange things in Florida so I was never going to get 11.  :-)

Perfect score for me too, but I couldn't possibly compare myself to either of you guys. You're both pretty damned good!  :-)

Here's Your Score: You correctly answered 11 out of the 11 possible questions, which means you did better on the quiz than 98% of the general public.

Damn.  Gonna have to turn that speaker up to 12 now.

I missed the fat question.  I put 50%, but that would be a regional answer.  Biggest collection of fat asses you've ever seen.

I dunno if you've ever kept track, sir, but I have.

It's uncanny, how both you and I seem to score the same on all these internet quizzes.

Our esteemed college John from South Carolina, when he and franksolich miss a question, we both seem to miss the same question.

But with you and me, sir, we always get the same score.

There must be some common threads that run in our lives.

I dunno.  You have traveled extensively, I tend to stay in one spot.   We both come from fairly large families, though, I think.  My dad was a blue-collar laborer and my mom worked as a waitress at Woolworth's. You like history, but I prefer science and math topics.

Hmm... havent watched TV for about 10 years now. Internet and radio ... and satellite (xm) radio do it for me.

I have to admit I guessed on the fat question.

I didnt actually know it was that high.
Title: Re: What's your news IQ?

Me three, 10/11. Now I dislike fat people even more!

Just chalk it up to another case of FM.

11 for 11. Not bad. But then again, the news is one of my drugs of choice.

That's what's weird about it, sir.

On one hand, we got a respectable responsible upstanding guy from Illinois, the salt of the earth, and on the other hand, we got franksolich, a luftmensch, one of these elusive people who's here today, gone tomorrow, who lives on water and air--but yet we seem to possess the exact same knowledge.

The next time a "quiz" is posted, sir, check it out.  thundley4 and franksolich always score the same.

I got 10 out of 11. I have no idea what percent of Americans the CDC says are obese. I guessed 25%.
Title: Re: What's your news IQ?
Post by: longview on June 02, 2011, 07:49:00 PM
I got 10/11.  I thought we spent more on the interest on debt than Medicare.  Sheesh.

Ah, yes, thank you Gina. I guess my IQ quiz IQ isn't that high.  It was the medicare I missed.

9/11

Missed the fat question and what we spent the most on.

Thought it was 50% and debt interest.

Should have read all the comments first.... :whistling:
