It's kind of sad that 60% of people who took this thing think Iran and Israel share a border.

The interesting trends in the scores include that males outscored females in every question, except the health care, and that the scores got better generally with age.

I got 9. I haven't really been paying attention much lately.

I got 9, and second guessed myself out of all 3.

I got 10. I never heard of "Cap and trade."

The lack of geography knowledge in the US astounds me.

 

Speaking of which... I just remembered that ChiSox_Sonix and I, I think, had some sort of a challenge a while back on this topic. totally forgot to do that. We should find an online test or something.

 

I got 10. I couldn't remember the federal reserve question or how many troops we currently have in Afghanistan.

All the "stan" countries can get confusing.

I got 108 of 195 on that geography quiz. It's harder than it looks. I almost missed some easy ones like Japan (just plain forgot to type it) or Thailand and for a while I couldn't remember what Argentina was called even though I was looking at it and kept thinking "Andres Nocioni" over and over. Apparently there is actually a country called "Dominica" which I didn't know and I got that one only by accident.

Yeah I accidentally got that one by trying to type Dominican Republic. Or are those the same country?

BTW only got 79 but the first 5 minutes were killed when I had to alt-tab it when someone came over to my desk.

That's still pretty respectable, you probably got all the major important countries in the world like Brazil, Japan, China, Russia, Canada, U.S., Australia, Italy, Indonesia, etc.

Denmark doesnt appear to be recognized.

Marcellus knew what he was talking about when he told us something was rotten there.

133.

 

Also, there were at least 3 countries I typed it that it didn't recognize for some reason. And, there were another 3-ish I couldn't spell right but knew. And, its not 100% right. There is country Dominica, for example. And it misspells Phillpines.

 

Damn, I need to brush up on my caribbean states, and parts of Africa.

 

i got all the important countries. that's what matters.
