Thank you for boosting up my current affairs morale, Raechard. This is what it said:

"You correctly answered 10 out of the 12 possible questions, which means you did better on the quiz than 83% of the general public."

As an endless source of trivia of all genres, I rock.

91%. I couldn't remember whether the DJA is closer to 10k or 12k.

In fairness I blame my nationality for not knowing who various government administrators are but I did fall only 2% below the national average it said.[8|]
 
I don't understand statistics.

"You correctly answered 12 of the 12 possible questions along with approximately 3% of the public. You did better than 97% of the general public."

That's what I get for avoiding Fox News like the plague.

Same here.

Funny thing is, I don't think of myself as particularly well informed.



Alumbrado -> RE: Fox News is the Ministry of Information. (7/26/2008 6:53:14 PM)

Had to guess at Oprah, since I haven't had a TV for years, but still got 12 right.

If you have nice shiny teeth you can get a job on any US TV news station I hear, a noteworthy haircut helps too in the applications process.

In a day and age where those 'save a tree by not printing this email' banners appears at the bottom of every email I ask if it is necessary for anchor people to continue to print out blank pages of paper just to go through that prerequisite paper shuffle routine at the start and end of every broadcast. Only greater minds than me know the answer to this question and in time they will disseminate their conclusions to the rest of us.



kittinSol -> RE: Fox News is the Ministry of Information. (7/26/2008 6:59:12 PM)

To successfully adopt that robotic, hallucinated grin of most American newscasters, one would need to train from infancy onwards - there's no hope, really. I can do the paper shuffling though :-).

I would lean more towards them being a bit easy, especially with them being multiple choice.
