Pew News Quiz

I got 11/12 - 91%.
I missed the question that was most missed - Senate Majority Leader.  Like, who even cares?

Also got 11/12.  Because I don't pay attention to the DJIA.

I only got 8/12.  But I did know the Senate Majority Leader so it still feels like victory.

I took it yesterday and got 7/12.  So don't feel bad Detta.  Even though I knew the Senate majority leader also.

But it said I scored 59% and the average for the quiz was 50%.  Then it said that I scored 59% higher than half the people who took the quiz.

Don't feel bad.  9/12 (2001) was a very patriotic day.

Same here.  I haven't even heard the news or so much as glanced at a newspaper during the past two months, either.
