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".

I knew the name because 60 minutes had done a couple interviews with him.

Exactly the same for me except I haven't met Andy Kohut. I read the newspaper everyday, but I admit that I still had to guess the number of troop deaths. Apparently, I was right.
