12 out of 12

This was not a difficult Current Affairs Test !

The National Results...
(That's how the Thieves in Congress and their Lobbyist(s) Masters get away with so much.)
The SURVEYED American Public is a Vacuous, Xenophobic, Apathetic, Idiotic
group of "Know Nothings".
(What better group of Sheep to be Hornswoggled by "Elected America"?)

I got 12/12, but one was a lucky guess. The results curve is very scary, the median was about 3 or 4 correct. Reminds me of the old Jay Leno bit when he asked easy questions to people on the street.

100 %, although politically correct answers were required on 2 questions....

TRUMP .......... WHITEHOUSE
HILLARY .........JAILHOUSE
BERNIE .......... NUTHOUSE
0BAMA .......... OUTHOUSE

That was my lucky guess.

Is ANYONE on this Forum scoring less than 12 out of 12...
This is an "Open Book" test, With Google as the Book.
AND you Guys and Gals are ReSearch Crazy !

I also missed the chairman of the senate finance commitee. And I thought unemployement was higher than the "correct" figure.

I don't believe 12/12 is anything to be proud of. The questions were basic and the entire population should be able to achieve 10/12 or better.

Just goes to further my premise about the "average" American.

Dang now you're making me feel like a Sarah Palin i think i'm gonna cry.

For the record i too missed the senate finance chair question.

I was actually expecting the average to be about 8-10 correct, I'm hoping most of the people taking the quiz were either drunk or didn't speak english.

Otherwise, we seem to be a nation of vegetable matter.

I got 11. Missed the Dow Jones one. And I even heard them going on about it on NPR today but frankly most things with numbers just fly by my pretty little head
