that's why it's a CURRENT affairs quiz
 
Thought for sure Ford got a loan last year and missed the # of troops killed - should have went with my first instinct.
 
Look at the gender split... I can't figure out why men scored so much higher than women. (sexist jokes aside)

11/12 correct
24/M/college grad

I missed the one about troops killed. I remembered it hitting 4,000 over a year ago, so I didn't expect it to be only 300 more since then, but I guess the recent security advances have really calmed things down, which is fortunate. I guess I would have heard about it if it had hit 5,000 at some point.

But yeah I got these right because I listen to NPR all the time.
 
11, probably got the Iraq casualties wrong.

Edit, nevermind - found the results section. Guessed that one right but didn't know Obama was putting more troops in Afghanistan...
 
12/12

23/M/College grad


In college I probably would have gotten 8-10 correct, but at good ol' work now and I hit up the news every morning when I drink my coffee. So these were all simple except the last about Bernanke... I knew he was basically top dog of the Federal Reserve, but I wasn't sure if that meant the same as how they worded it. Honestly I read the same things over and over as it is, like okay I know who this guy is. Heh, kind of like every article about Taliban in Swat, you can't find one that doesn't say "sharia, or Islamic law".
