[Voice of Reason]

Yeah baby .... 13 for 13. There were a couple I narrowed down to two choices and then went with my instincts. Nice little quiz.

[2 Humped Camel]

I got 12, I missed the one about how many service members have been killed in Afghanistan.

[Bluegrasscard]

12 - British PM was the miss.

[Dlbdonn]

I got 13 for 13 I usually win at trivial pursuit too

[swamprat]

No offense, but that was actually pretty easy. Didn't have to think about any of them. Guess I keep up pretty well without TV news, though I do watch a lot of business news (CNBC, FBN, and Bloomberg).

 

I do find it unnerving that almost 40% of the respondents missed half of the questions.

[True blue (and gold)]

12 - British PM was the miss.

 

Same here. I had it at first and changed my answer.

[Clyde]

12 - British PM was the miss.

 

Did you go with Richard Branson?

[Randy Parker]

Brazil shmazil.

 

12.

[Bluegrasscard]

Did you go with Richard Branson?

 

No. Mr. Virgin Airlines was not in the running. Coin toss of Cameron and Hayward.

[75center]

I got 12, I missed the one about how many service members have been killed in Afghanistan.

 

Same here.

[Run To State]

I got 12, I missed the one about how many service members have been killed in Afghanistan.

 

Same here.

Makes three of us.

I agree. I was 13 for 13.
