The pool of microbial mush that occupies my cranial area
allowed me 10 outta 13. So use that big brain. Take the quiz.

I got 11 out of 13, which surprised me.

The demographic breakdown by question is interesting.
Most knew Edward Snowden on sight. Few people recognized Marissa Mayer (admittedly, she better meets the expectation of a Fox news anchor than a major CEO).
Those with High school or less may not know what the DJIA does in a recession, but do at least know what the FED is for.
I think most people have heard of Google Glass by now, but we seem equally confused about what it is (including the survey writers… “A computer you can wear?” good grief).
13/13. Yay.
The most drastic differences are between <= High School and >= College. And the former are 69% of the electorate. Yikes.
Are you saying 69% of the electorate are at least college grads or am I misunderstanding? Whence that statistic?
Oops, I meant the former. Corrected, thanks. I was supposed to have learned the difference in college. 
Wiki says US college grads are ~31% : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Educational_attainment_in_the_United_States
Interesting, thanks. At least they’re trending up, I guess.
10/13 for a graduate non-american.
I got 13 of 13! 99th percentile. Now where did I leave my glasses?
I got 10 out of 13!!! I’m really proud of myself. I didn’t think I knew anything about the States.
[EDIT TO ADD] Oh. IB got the same. I don’t feel so special now … 
13/13
The Washington Post had a story on the results of an international science poll last week, which I can’t find now. It’s vaguely similar to the one on the Pew sits. The thing that I found interesting was that the US did well relative to other countries despite the doom-and-gloom that’s been put on the state of US education and the negative spin the Post put on the US results.
Ne’mind, Ben. I’m sure you can play whistle better than I do, anyhow.
Well 11/13. One stupid mistake where I knew and the brain decided not to respond, but one I sort of question. I never heard the term “common core” used in the 40+ years I was in education. The term was “core curriculum.”
8/13 
(I suppose it should be the worst score)
