Horn Tooting

The Pew Research Center has a periodic quiz on the news and the current one has eleven questions.  You can see my score to the right (11:11).

The questions are pretty basic and they are multiple choice.   There are some which might be tricky -one of the four choices on a question about "No child left behind" is whether the law is a policy on transportation.  But you should wonder about people who do not know that Moammar Gadhafi is the leader of Libya (other choices included Egypt, China or Saudi Arabia).  Other questions included what does Hillary Clinton do and what is the fight in Wisconsin about?

I guess the good thing about this poll is that more than 50% of the responses got more than half the questions correct.
