Embarrassingly 1/7 for me.

2/7 but then again, I am a citizen of the USA.
So you brits/aussies knonw about as much as the general population of the USA about your own countries.

4/7--primarily lucky guesses.

5/7 actually was pretty sure of 3 of them.

Hmm. I got 5/7 with a bunch of wild-ass guesses. There was only one answer which I actually knew (the one about the British car marques).

(shame) 3/7 but then again I've not lived there for 35 years..... oh ok

zero

(i cheated)

Well at least you're not negative about it

3/7 and surprised I got that much.

I got them all wrong and would get them all wrong if I took the test again.

That's because I'm a true American and don't care about anywhere else unless there is crude oil in it for me.

2/7, both WAGS.

You mean 7 WAGS of which 2 were correct. Were they successive those two? What were the chances of that happening?

The Brits made the Sten Gun and that's all that matters.

Actually, I'm more interested at the moment in a stun gun....

I think I'd like to use one on Meade....

Join the queue, youngster!

There were different numbers of possible answers weren't there? Makes it harder to calculate . If they were all 3 answers with 1 correct the chance for any two in a row is 1/9. But you have a series of 6 possible pairs of questions in sequence so I think over all its 6 x 1/9 or 6/9 = .67

The chance of getting any two right, in order or not, is higher but I'm too lazy to work it out. Either that or the odds are you'll get 2.3 right out of 7 by chance. I forget which.

btw I got three right which is only slightly better than I would be predicted by pure guesswork.
