Quiz isn't anything special, but the modifiers you can do to the table aftewards are kinda fun to play around with.

I got 8/12, or the 49th percentile, but I'm a Canadian and these are US-centric questions. I'm 25/M/Graduate.

I got the Dow Jones wrong.
 
11/12 - I don't know what the plan is for Afghanistan

3 Months ago I would have probably gotten 4/12. I recently added NBC evening news to my TiVo Season Pass.

Last one wrong because I wasn't paying attention to question specifics 🙁

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
 
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..."
 
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
 
I couldn't remember if Ford got an emergency loan or not. I also missed the last question and troops killed in Iraq.
