Title: what a joke- [Politics/Religion]
Post by: Aske on July 18, 2008, 03:08:25 PM
this quiz is a joke.  if only 3% of 'merkans can ace it, i'd say only about 15% have any justification voting.  [sm_devil]

11/12. I have no idea which one I missed.

[edit] Just discovered the "how you did question by question" feature. Apparently I missed the final question about who declared independence from Serbia. I thought I clicked
, but apparently I didn't.

I'm guessing aske missed the question on the Dow Jones Industrial Average, clicking on something like 450 given the dread he lives under  ;)

I just took the quiz, didn't look at your score.


Yes, I'm sure you know it well - bordering on an OCD-like obsession  ;)

11/12

I wasn't sure about the number of dead soldiers in Iraq. I answered 5,000. If that's wrong, I'm sure it will eventually be correct.

The Federal Reserve Chairman question had me stumped me for a second. I didn't see Helicopter Ben or Umlautta Strohson as choices and didn't know what to answer.
