11 out of 13.

Missed the map of same-sex marriages and the DOW Jones charges.

I wonder how many loyal viewers of MSNBC could even get 5 correct. And the ‘your age’ and ‘your sex’ questions don’t count.

IIRC, recently a judge or clerk in NM allowed a same-sex couple to apply for a marriage license.

I just stepped right up. Got 12 out of 13 right, so was in the top 3%. The one I missed was a guess on my part. I wasn’t far off, but almost only counts in horseshoes. See how bright one can be about current events if you read a lot of articles on FR? You end up semi brilliant. FR as classroom.

I aced it because I read the responses first but I would have gotten Nigeria on my own anyway. same sex and the yahoo gal I could see me getting on my own by a process of elimination which is what you have to do in a multiple choice if you don’t know the answer. Of the other questions I guessed on one and got it but not before eliminating 2 of the answers.

Got 12 out of 13...the one I missed was one % of women in Congress...I narrowed it down to two of the four, and picked the wrong one. :)

What Do You Know About The News?

I know that it's twisted, distorted, manipulated, selectively dosed out, poor quality leftist propaganda.

The population pyramid was easy. It was typical of a third world country.
