11/12 - I don't know what the plan is for Afghanistan

OP - put up a poll so that people can put in their results, and we can see how ATOT compares to everyone else.

Quiz would have been hard if it focused on world leaders and more global news.

not bad considering i dont read or watch the news

27 m i have 2 degrees

no idea who the Tim dude was and missed the unemployment rate and the # killed in iraq

 

[rh71]

lol 4 / 12... sadly we watch NBC Nightly News everyday at dinner too... I just don't pay enough attention.

And even if I did, I don't care to remember what the DJIA is. I don't gamble nor generally care how companies are doing. But yes, I knew about GM / Chrysler. I'm really sick of hearing "on tonight's broadcast, the economy..."

 

[James Bond]

Added poll

 

[spidey07]

LOL! Young people are the worse, missing almost two more questions than others.

18-29 = 5.9 correct
30-49 = 7.8 correct
50+ = 8.4 correct
