Intelligence != knowledge of current events, but I agree with the concept... Only 2% got those easy questions correct? That's truly depressing, and scary...

I got 11 out of 11 correct. I can't say it is because of my age or that I stay on top of current events, I just happen to guess the obese question correctly.

Hell, everyone should get the money and fat questions right considering how much the rest of us, that have taken the test, talked about getting them wrong and what the right answers are.

X Ring, are you accusing me of copycatting/cheating just because I happened to quess correctly on one question, which I admitted I guessed on?  If so, surely you can't be smart enough that anyone would want to look at your cheat sheet.

Chris - looks like we missed the same two, but I find America is thinner than I thought! I judged 50%, by the people around me...

Don't worry 99RD.  I don't back stab people.  I front stab them.  If I accused you you of copying/cheating I would come out and say it to your face.  This was just a worthless little quiz and I was just saying anyone who read the thread shouldn't miss those questions considering how much we talked about it so you can get off your high horse.
