My results:

You answered 7 out of the 11 possible questions correctly, which means you did better on the quiz than 60% of the general public.

Here's My Score: You correctly answered 10 out of the 11 possible questions, which means you did better on the quiz than 87% of the general public.

I was wrong on the fourth question.

"Was the government bailout of banks and financial institutions, also known as TARP, passed and signed into law under:"

I tought it was signed by Obama

I got 10 out of 11 - scored higher than 87%.

I missed the Supreme Court Chief Justice question.

How funny that every question begins with "Do you happen to know" or "Can you tell me..." Gotta boost the ol' self-esteem in case we don't know the answer.

I got the PM of Britain wrong. Oh well.

I got 10 out of 11. I forgot who the prime minister is. But who cares? It's only Great Britain not like someplace important

Can't be important, or so many of us wouldn't have missed it.

My quiz results reflect my self imposed media blackout. The sad dest part about getting a 6 was that I am still ahead on the bell curve.

How Millennial are you? http://pewresearch.org/millennials/quiz/index.php

(I totally kicked ass on the science quiz)

Millennial = 82 WOW

They think I'm a boomer and they think my average score should be 11.

But I've always been more of an Xer and my average score should be 33.

Feh. I still hate Green Day.
