Default current events quiz

I only got 11 of 12....shame on me

Here is a fun little test on current events. Once you get your score, look at the graphs and see the results. It is no wonder we have a bunch of dummies here in the U.S. This is from the Pew Research Center.





How well are you informed?

This quiz will give you an indication...

Same here. One I was split on and went with the wrong answer while the other question I honestly had no idea.

12 for 12! somewhat guessed on the troop amount. Caught between 2 of the choices thinking the amount was somewhere in the middle.
Looking at the graph for the breakdown of the results is actually pretty sad.

11 of 12, missed the troops as well.

All you have to do is watch Jay Walking on the Leno show to understand the average person.
