looks like I aced this too

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.


looking at the answer breakdown - its sad, but I'm not surprised that 85% of respondents got #7 correct.
its also sad that that 19% and 28% got questions #9 and #10 correct.

I find it very interesting that the only questions on which the 18-29 group scored well, aside from the one thing they have been relentlessly "taught" in school, were the ones that really didn't matter...Twitter and sports.  For actual knowledge, not so great.  The great liberal take-over of education continues it's destruction...

11 of 11, though I wasn't 100% sure where the World Cup in soccer was held. Soccer isn't one of my fave activities. Neither is Twitter.  :whatever:

Oh, and here I thought it was the bags of blood and urine being thrown on the field.  Soccer fan doesn't want to admit that THAT'S the reason for those covered shelters for the players on the sidelines.

And if someone brought a vuvuzela to an NFL game, they'd likely find out very quickly how loud they can play it when it's shoved up their asses.

I missed 2 the soccer one and my math was wrong on the depth of the oil spill.
I bet libs heads will spin knowing that us conservatives got the TARP question right. We do know Bush started that mess. Which was a mistake then just like it is under Obama. Only we have the decency to say it was wrong under both, and not right under the guy we supported, and  wrong under the guy we don't.

That question illustrates that Obama has his share of blame. he followed the failed policy of Bush. You can't say your predecessor was a dope then do the same things he did and get away with it.

I got 11 out of 11....but I should have.

My 15 year old rising tenth grader got 7 out of 11 which is better than 60% of those answering.

He missed the soccer and supreme court questions and I can't remember other 2 wrong answers.
