The new O'Quiz!

By TigerHawk at 12/01/2010 02:38:00 PM

The excitement continues apace. The new O'Quiz is up. There are trick questions, and apparent trick questions. I scored 7 out of 10, a hair's breadth above the average score of 6.41 (as of this writing).

Take the toughest current events trivia quiz on the web, and report your scores in the comments.

8 out of 10. Missed the unionization and CD label questions. On the former, I thought the right answer was *too* ironic to be right.

I got a 10. My first ever on these quizzes. Go figure.

8 out of 10. I failed to read the Euro options carefully and just had to guess at the South African male question.

8 out of 10, an improvement over last week's lousy (and unreported) 5!

10 out of 10, I am embarassed to say. Hey, I'm on vacation, and have time to keep up with the news. Doesn't mean I'm enjoying it!

10 of 10 although I guessed the South Africa one and the one about the Cancun get together has the wrong answer. It's really about strangling the economies of the developed world.

The Marines are a department of the Navy so I figure I should get partial credit for question #1 /jk

9 0ut of 10, a personal best. Missed the CD label, but then I don't particularly care about Lady Gaga.

9 of 10. Chose an answer for the South Africa men but knew I would probably be wrong.

9 out of 10. Not too shabby.

9 1/4 out of 10. The 1/4 is for that British Isles trick question for which I picked England. I knew that they never gave up using the British Pound as their main currency. However, the answer was all of the above.

If you think i'm going to admit I only got 7 right your crazy.
