Test your knowledge with 12 questions, then be ready to shudder when you see how others did.

that  means  you missed the first  one
they say  10% is the correct answer

so  that is what  you said  to  ace the test
the test  is  wrong

are the remaining 90%  of the people EMPLOYED?

I SAY  NO

 10% is the correct answer only
  if you want  to  accept  the flawed  way  un-employment  is calculated

You're just jealous that you didn't ace it.

Yellowtail, I'm impressed.  I scored higher than average but not great.  I don't watch the Dow  so I blew that one.  I watch very little TV and had no idea who the comic was.  I thought for sure that more US soldiers were killed in Iraq than Afghanistan last year.  I had a total brain fart and answered that the GOP chair was Howard Dean. Yes, I know he's chair of the Democratic party and have no idea why I clicked on him.

very  funny

i  know  you  were  just smart enough  to  answer  that one  wrong  just so  you could ace  it

i took  the hunter safety classes with my kids
turned in the test  and stated
''i had  to answer 3 of them  wrong  so i could get  100%''
they confirmed  i got 100%

i don't focus on the front sight..i focus on target
i don't  do that  6 o'clock  hold crap.....i  hold on target
forget  the other thing  they  got wrong

I missed the one about oil imports. And used the "accepted" figure for unemployment so missed just the one.

I know how it feels 45-70 I knew I was smarter than the test writers once, but I went ahead and gave the answer I knew was right. They would hear no argument, and it cost me being first in the class. I did miss three, but I wondered if they were looking for the government spin on unemployment, or the actual number as calculated by Fox news in their story just tonight.

I am so completely brain dead.  How could I have forgotten, I missed 1, but I knew the answer, I just can't count. :-\

I think all that done was open us up to a lot of junk mail. We should have given our age as under 16.

I got 86%. Missed two of the questions. Question #1 about unemployment, I was wondering if they were using the govt. spin number.
