My score should actually be 30. When I put in my name, it sent me straight to the scoring dealie as opposed to actually letting me take the damn quiz.

I misread one of the questions (religious sects).

Non-states - they be commonwealths, yes? The sad thing about me knowing this is that I learnt it from working in US tax...

Didn't do very well on the US one. But I got the TV one right.

Yup. Kentucky, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Virginia all call themselves "commonwealths," but they're still treated as states. Puerto Rico must be plenty pissed off at them. Heh.

Anywho, my quiz isn't so much a feast of Americana as it is a catalog of useless trivia. Palentine or Yelda or someone could probably come up with a better one that Americans can actually answer. :P

2/10.

So what's an Arkansas exactly?

(from wikipedia)

Arkansas (pronounced [ˈɑɹkn̩ˌsɑː]) is a state located in the southern region of the United States.

The name Arkansas derives from the same root as the name for the State of Kansas. The Kansas tribe of American Indians are closely associated with the Sioux tribes. The word is a French pronunciation of a Quapaw (a related "Kaw" tribe) word meaning "land of downriver people" or "people of the south wind".

Sigh ... Arkansas > me. Maybe later I'll get you back with a quiz on California, but I'm still waiting on Palentine to post his on West Virginia, and then Jen on the Bay Area, and then Flib on Washington, and then Gruen or eco or somebody on the Greater London Area, and so on and so on.

It gave me 0% before taking the quiz for some reason, but when I took it I got an extremely flukey 70% for West Virginia. Given I will be going to Arkansas within a year, my 40% on that was less pleasing.

It also gave me 0 on my slightly dull London quiz.

I seem to be insistent upon doing 50% or worse on all of these quizzes. Except the Arkansas one, I did rather ok on that one for some odd reason. <_<

And since all the cool kids are doing it.... Texas

Don't you all wish you came from a state as awesome as mine? :P

And no offense everyone else, but Palentine's quiz is the best! :roflmao:

EDIT: and it says I got 40 on Alt's, even though I got only one question right.
