I ran across this quiz by Pew Research asking how much you know about the news. For the fun of it, I took the quiz. A few tough questions IMHO. Anyway, I scored an 85. Give it a shot if you want.  TIS http://www.pewresearch.org/quiz/the-news-iq-quiz/

That map was stupid. I did not do well, only a 65. I got that map wrong, the chart wrong and a couple of others that I thought were easy to mix up.
I feel ashamed. You beat me I got a 52

Got 10 out of 13 right. Who cares about Yahoo's CEO?  Also I thought congress had more women.  And have no idea what "Common Core" is. Still don't care. Better than 85%.

Also I thought congress had more women. And have no idea what "Common Core" is. Still don't care. Better than 85%. This was the "trick" question. While recent stories highlighted the Senate has more women members than ever after the 2012 election, and the House has had increasing numbers, it is still pretty much a male dominated Congress.

13 out of 13. The only question that obviously stupid was the yahoo CEO question. The others had some decent usage.
Should probably ask Mr. Kierney. I guess if you're Italian, you should be in prison.
I've read the RICO Act, and I can tell you it's more appropriate...
for some of those guys over in Washington than it is for me or any of my fellas here

Eight out of thirteen right. Quite disappointed in myself.
