    I also was 83%. Not that many questions though. I missed the question on number of US soldiers killed in Iraq (I guessed 5,000 and it was 4,000) and I missed the Serbia question. Not bad I guess considering the national average is a staggering 50%.

    91 percentile as well.
    Although I may have missed the Iraq numbers if I hadn't looked off of Plugh's paper. (We'll never know)

    83rd percentile as well. Though my answer on the Dow question could be right by the midweek and wrong again by the weekend the way those things move around. I also missed the Serbia one.

    It's ok Swae, even though I listen to the news religiously in the morning, this test showed that apparently nothing sinks in.

    23% for me.
    Then again I don't listen or watch the news ever and I don't really care to either. Nothing I watch will make a difference except make me more paranoid then I already am.
