Haha! Childish yes, but still funny. 60: I can't understand how I got question 1 wrong, but oh well.

Incidentally, on question 4, my uncle calls it "Nun's - I'll have a nun's, please". As in "Nun's Delight".

Heh, I've not heard it referred to as a nun before.

And I'm sure I put county for the first question. God damn it. Well, so you know, Kent is not a city. Sigh.

It seems that option (D) is very popular for question 2. I guess I asked for that...

1) Which party controls the House of Representatives?
2) Who is the U.S. secretary of state?
3) Who is the prime minister of Great Britain?

If you can answer all three of these questions correctly, then you are officially smarter than 82% of the American public. Also:

- 56% of regular NPR listeners,
- 58% of regular "Hannity and Colmes" viewers, and
- 70% of regular "Daily Show" viewers.

Even most BBC viewers couldn't correctly identify Gordon Brown!

I wonder if his collegues refer to him as Gordo?

"Hey Gordo! Could you bloody well fetch me a pint since you're up?"

Darn, you faked me out with all those easy questions at the beginning...I thought I was gonna ace it!

What do you mean Texas can "legally split into five states"?

Aparently When Texas entered the Union there was a clause in the agreement that anytime in the future Texas could split its territory into 5 states. I guess it was because Texas was a soverign nation before joining the Union.

60% for me.

And the thing about Texas being technically able to split into five new states is true. From what I understand, it was actually an attempt to appease resistance on Texas' annexation into the Union due to the slave state/free state issue before the Civil War.

70% for me, but I cheated because I read this thread and knew the answer to the Texas one.
