  5. Here's Your Score: You correctly answered 12 out of the 12 possible questions, which means you did better on the quiz than 99% of the general public.
    I'm happy since I'm a news junkie.

  6. I got 8 correct.

    And that without a radio or TV and not being American.

  7. I got all 12, but I had read some reporting on this and likely would have missed the operating system question if that hadn't been noted somewhere.

  8. I missed the inflation rate question. But that was the only one!

  12. Well, our Weirmaraner got four right, as well as 45% of the public. Maybe we should run her as a Tea Party candidate...

  13. All 12. I guess being an NPR/BBC addict has its benefits!

  14. 12 correct! NPR and internet addictions fuel my knowledge.

  15. Twelve for twelve here. And it only took me an average of 10 hours of blogging per day to reach this level of awareness! A small price to pay for such an awesome achievement. Ha!

  17. What happened to Tony Blair?
    I also missed the Pakistan question, I said Neutral. I know that they have issues, but I didn't know it was considered unfriendly.
    Congrats to those who got so many correct.

  18. Got them all except the inflation rate question.

  19. I got 11 which I don't think is bad given that I'm British and have only ever spent two weeks in the US!

  20. I got 9 of 12, but then I don't live on your continent.

  21. I got 7 of 12, but I don't live on your planet.

  22. 12 for 12.

    I need to check into rehab for news junkies.

  23. 10/12 - Missed the budget (*facepalm* - caught in poll doublethink) and the reported unemployment rate. I know the actual, but have no idea what the hell the government likes counting.

    Still don't live in the US, so I'll count that as 1/2 a win.

  24. I thought inflation was a bit higher and didn't realize so much of TARP had been paid back. Not bad for living in a little mountain town out in the wilderness and paying almost no attention to news or politics.

  25. Got 11 out of 12. Missed TARP. Thanks for the cool link and cool blog!
