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

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.
 
I don't understand statistics.

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

I have never watched Fox News.

But I do listen to NPR while I work
and while I drive.

Same here.

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

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.

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