How up on current news are you?

[joiei]

Here is a little test to test how current your knowledge of the news is.  I scored a 91, not perfect.  I missed the question about the Dow.

[we vs us]

I scored 97; I knew the question about the Dow.  

The scoring is kind of weird.  They rank you according to a national percentile, rather than giving you a hard individual score.  So I scored a perfect 12 of 12 questions, but still rank at 97%. A tad annoying if you were hoping to get "%100" in red pen and a scratch and sniff sticker on your paper []

I got 12 out of 12. I watch the news all the time.

I almost missed the sex question. I tried to answer "in favor".

I got 12 out of 12--the 97% means that you along with 3% of the country know all of the answers.  I think its a little sad that more people know the answer to the talk show host than any other question.

It could also be saying you are dumb enough to beleive eveything you hear on the news [)]

With local news in Tulsa you have to watch at least 3 to hopefully hear one correct version. Then you are just guessing which one was even closest.

that's usually pretty easy.  Whichever version didn't come from Fox Spews you can usually eliminate as journalistic.

Phooey!  I missed TWO.  One of them was "Who's the leader of the Free World?" and I answered, "Why, me, of course."  But I forgot that's on my home planet, not this one.

I rule K-PAX.

Missed the DOW one.  Price Is Right has me conditioned to answer the question without going over.

Bosnia tripped me up.

Imagine that, people on here being well-informed and interested in news. []

[dbacks fan]

91%, missied the Bosnia question.

[grahambino]

91%

I only missed the DOW one, but I missed it BIG:)
