But expected that the percentage of RAFhOles who get it right is much higher. We is smart. :)


But the questions were all very centered on american issues, and not really of any real interest to me - I suspect you can count away somewhat like 5% of the replies as not being american. ;)

Pretty amazing that only 2% of respondents got all 12 questions right..... trzaska2000 - 11/12/2009 01:09:09 AM 693 Views
Because we're politically obsessive? Isaac - 11/12/2009 03:58:28 AM 749 Views
Only 24% of people understand what cap and trade is. Roland00 - 11/12/2009 04:09:36 AM 698 Views
Which is fairly disturbing Isaac - 11/12/2009 04:21:52 AM 713 Views
science is more interesting than your silly politics *NM* LadyLorraine - 11/12/2009 04:28:24 AM 372 Views
12 out of 12 Roland00 - 11/12/2009 01:03:08 AM 680 Views

9 out of 12 Colonel Logain - 11/12/2009 01:22:00 AM 753 Views
9 of 12 *NM* Hieshyn - 11/12/2009 01:40:35 AM 379 Views
8 of 12. (names and numbers have never been my thing) *NM* Jonielle - 11/12/2009 02:19:37 AM 377 Views
12/12. Of course, I'd probably do worse if it weren't current events. *NM* Burr - 11/12/2009 02:35:30 AM 333 Views
12/12 That was easy. *NM* The Shrike - 11/12/2009 02:42:16 AM 345 Views
There's also a science one, on the same site Isaac - 11/12/2009 04:13:05 AM 1124 Views
only missed the one about mars LadyLorraine - 11/12/2009 04:27:22 AM 768 Views
It wasn't a great question Isaac - 11/12/2009 04:52:23 AM 734 Views
i hate questions like that. I need to get used to them LadyLorraine - 11/12/2009 05:02:39 AM 711 Views
Suh-weet. Got 'em all. nossy - 11/12/2009 05:05:44 AM 648 Views
Was unsure of the first one, the rest were easy Floffe - 11/12/2009 06:56:21 AM 723 Views
12. I think the selection bias would be stronger on this one. Also, they're much easier questions. *NM* Ghavrel - 11/12/2009 08:07:50 AM 372 Views
I don't agree, actually. Legolas - 11/12/2009 10:34:36 AM 675 Views
It was a lot easier due to not having more than one america specific question. *NM* jh - 11/12/2009 11:23:41 AM 344 Views
Wrong spot. *NM* Inigo Montoya - 11/12/2009 12:11:06 PM 371 Views
Perfect 12 *NM* Hieshyn - 11/12/2009 01:08:26 PM 363 Views
12 for 12 again! Me smart! Are there any others we can take? *NM* trzaska2000 - 12/12/2009 05:07:56 AM 395 Views
11. Didn't know DOW, surprise, surprise. *NM* nossy - 11/12/2009 05:02:49 AM 365 Views
Me too. Either. Whatever. Capitalist scum can keep their meaningless statistics *NM* Cannoli - 11/12/2009 04:52:44 PM 372 Views
Like it or not, that number is all too meaningful for every American. And non-Americans, too. *NM* Vodalus - 11/12/2009 05:01:57 PM 372 Views
actually, that number is pretty damn meaningless for the average american moondog - 11/12/2009 05:24:07 PM 662 Views
You're dead wrong. That number influences all sorts of things that affect people, whether... Vodalus - 11/12/2009 05:32:01 PM 721 Views
Influential, yes. Readily known and called to mind, not so much. nossy - 11/12/2009 06:33:19 PM 698 Views
I think it's a good example of how demographics can have an unexpected bias Isaac - 11/12/2009 07:28:07 PM 768 Views
Eh? No mention of newspapers? Am I alone in getting most of my news by reading an actual... Vodalus - 11/12/2009 08:06:26 PM 713 Views
*raises hand* Legolas - 11/12/2009 08:38:48 PM 781 Views
Thank goodness. Vodalus - 11/12/2009 11:13:06 PM 799 Views
Same as nossy ^ *NM* Floffe - 11/12/2009 06:57:01 AM 357 Views
9. I haven't been paying attention to recent events. Two of them were statistics, unsurprisingly. *NM* Ghavrel - 11/12/2009 08:06:15 AM 358 Views
11 - hesitated on the Afghanistan question and then picked the wrong one. Legolas - 11/12/2009 10:37:21 AM 754 Views
6, and above average. Not bad for an Aussie with no interest in American politics. rAndy aL - 11/12/2009 10:41:57 AM 743 Views
12 on the politics, 11 on the science. Stupid antibiotics *NM* Inigo Montoya - 11/12/2009 12:11:53 PM 386 Views
12/12. Though, I did guess on a couple. *NM* Kaldric - 11/12/2009 01:47:48 PM 363 Views
12/12. It's scary that 98% of people can't get it right. Tom - 11/12/2009 01:53:19 PM 707 Views
Perhaps... jh - 11/12/2009 04:35:01 PM 780 Views
5% of the replies here. I doubt 5% of the replies at that site are from non-Americans. Tom - 11/12/2009 05:21:44 PM 715 Views
Eh, likely a lot more here. The 5% was for that site. *NM* jh - 12/12/2009 02:01:58 PM 403 Views
Who knows, it was a phone survey anyway Isaac - 12/12/2009 02:28:25 PM 749 Views
10/ 12 snoopcester - 11/12/2009 02:00:05 PM 652 Views
10 correct. Danu - 11/12/2009 02:15:30 PM 689 Views
11/12, top 93%. Mad Cow Bomber - 11/12/2009 02:38:36 PM 875 Views
Yeah, that's true. *NM* Legolas - 11/12/2009 03:35:14 PM 334 Views
11/12 - I didn't give the official, read bullshit, number for unemployment. *NM* Vodalus - 11/12/2009 04:57:44 PM 338 Views
12/12 politics and science *NM* moondog - 11/12/2009 05:24:37 PM 365 Views
12 of 12, but besides the geography question, people should know those answers through osmosis. Palatine - 11/12/2009 05:45:43 PM 664 Views
11/12, didn't know the Dow jones *NM* AliasRY - 11/12/2009 06:24:54 PM 334 Views
