I am sure that I ended up getting one of the picture ones wrong simply because these people aren't pictured much in the news (was that Ben Bernaki?). Some of the questions are good though, like the Afghanistan casualties (wish they had asked how many total...) and simple stuff like who has majority. For a research poll this is truly awful and has little validity if you were to use this in anything but a chain email (I have some credibility here, I do research fairly often in both my professional and academic life) just because they rely on visual recognition for a lot of it. Basically if you just see the guys name below his picture you can get the quiz right while still having absolutely no clue as to what goes on in the world. For fun its not bad though.

Also, David Cameron is prime minister of the U.K. not Great Britain...shows how much effort they put into it.
