Hmm, I got a different map that says what I said. . .

You can see the caribbean as a sub region. What do we say that New Zealand is part of Austrailia?

according to that link and by your logic, mexico isn't part of north american, african is actually 5 continents, europe is between 3 and 5, asia is 6, etc.

I stopped after that.

Yeah I was like WTF? Don't remember that in public school......but got a 74%. Thanks to public school.

Most of us went to a public school and we all aced this test. What's so difficult about understanding "immaculate conception"? Even if you didn't understand the meaning behind it, I can't see how the answer would be a man.

Conception. Conceived. Same root word. The mother is not conceived, the baby is. There is no way the answer can be Mary.

mary was immaculately conceived so she could be born without sin and bear the son of god.

cubism was one of the most obvious questions

are you serious? this is what americans learn in school?

In my opinion, if the island is on the same techtonic plate, than it is part of the continent.

And as can be seen in the following article, cuba is indeed on the North American plate.

You paid attention during 80% of high school!


68-84% Pretty good, you know that there are libraries and newspapers, and you remember what you've read. You were a child that wasn't left behind!

 

[judasmachine]

You paid attention during 91% of high school!


85-100% You must be an autodidact, because American high schools don't get scores that high! Good show, old chap!

Nice, it doesn't appear to say which ones were marked wrong.

I knew that one because of an Outland comic.


Ok, I didn't know where the Magna Carta was written, got the Jesus one wrong, I think(WTH?), and I didn't know the Shakespeare one (I'd love for these things to be translated into modern English so I knew what the hell was ever going on in them).

The Jesus thing - Mary received immaculate conception, Jesus was immaculately conceived. So then, "According to Catholicism, does the Immaculate Conception refer to the conception of Jesus or Mary?" Both were conceived immaculately. Only difference was, one was was the giver, one was the receiver.
