LOL!!!

Why don't I ever get picked to do these things?!?!?

Pffft, I had only ONE wrong!!! ONLY ONE!! I don't know how many people live in the states, I wish there was an "I really don't give a shit" option for that question .. that would have been my choice.

Easiest test done ever!!!

NOw I am going to go strip.

Going to what? Maybe its best I don't know.

Anyways, the actual test was 56 questions,a nd the site only lists 20. I got 18 right, as I flubbed a couple quetions I should've known.

The one point I forgot to mention in the article which was also funny, was that the majority of Americans could not identify which country the Taliban and Al-Queda was located in. You declare a war on Terrorism, and don't know where they are from? Frightening.

I got 19 out of 20
"Which of the following religions has the largest number of followers worldwide?"
I picked Islam instead of Christianity !

I got 18 out of 20

I missed where is afghanistan and sweden. I narrowed it down to a 50/50 shot, and failed both time.

Otherwise I did fine, but I should have gotten perfect.

I messed up the same question as natooke, as I figured 2/5 of the world's population is in China and India, and nether country is predominantly Christian, so I assumed Buddhism might be a good option.

I messed up Kashmir. I feel like an idiot, cuz I had a total brain-fart.

If I hadn't have done a bit of research on it recently, I would have messed that one also.

See "Christanity" takes into account all roman catholics, christians, prodestants and every other off-shoot around, so it is little numbers that just add up.

There are actually over 1 billion "christians" in the world, and Muslim was 2nd but not by much.

I am still disappointed in my geography mistakes, as I am normally very good in it.

As the origianl survey had 56 questions, and not 20, it woudl inetersting to see how one would fare on the other 36 questions.

I understand, what you mean, Malice. Some of it is more process of elimination than anything, and even then, you can be slightly off.

Mind you, there were probably those who were able to identify some countries without too much difficulty. I did better than 11% of Americans did in successfully identifying where the U.S. was.

I think RH got all the right answers based on what we said.

Actually, that doesn't surprise me as RH has to be one of the most knowledgeable and intelligent (HE DANG SMART) people around here.
