I scored a 91% (11 out of 12) on this Pew Research Center quiz on world events. I got only one wrong but, to be fair, I pretty much took a wild guess on two other questions, and there was another one that I wouldn't have gotten right if there hadn't been a multiple choice.
10 out of 12 for me-83%. I underestimated the Dow and the number of service people killed in Iraq. I was next closest though. Interesting quiz!

I don't want to talk about it.

91% and I admit I had no idea on the one I missed but I was pretty sure about the others.

I missed one (about the Dow Jones, d'oh!) and otherwise knew them all, although I agree that I might not have got one of the other ones without the crutch of multiple choice.

I got 91% too...I also missed the Dow Jones question, but it has been bouncing around so much lately that I think it's understandable. It's not like I was way off or anything! And I didn't take any wild guesses.

Congratulations! Must have been on account of all those hours of listening to public radio.
Am scared to take. If I score low it could look very bad.

Another 91 percent. Looks like Verbatim is the blog for the gifted! Well, except for how I did on that science quiz you linked to several months ago ...
