6/13; 6/13; 8/13; 5/13.
And most of those were wild guesses.

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

7/13, 6/13, 7/13, 6/13. So, exactly 50%. And I think I actually knew maybe 6 of them.

Re: Quiz of the year
6 + 4 + 9 + 10 = 29/52
People who are wrong are just as sure they're right as people who are right. The only difference is, they're wrong.

For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

1. 9/13
(An amazing achievement with "news questions" like this:
"Portugal won the European Championship in July, in a match low on thrills but memorable for the moment a moth landed on the injured star Cristiano Ronaldo. A swarm had invaded the Stade de France - but what kind of moth was it?")
2. 7/13
"I'm not the next Usain Bolt or Michael Phelps, I'm the first ..."
The American who used the term "Usain" should be stripped of their citizenship or receive a year in jail- (Not appropriate for flag burning as The Donald suggested, but fitting punishments in this case)
3. 7/13
"Which cricketer expressed the opinion that the theory of evolution was wrong and that humans were probably descended from aliens?"
(Well, I'm certainly willing to accept the theory that cricket players are descended from aliens...)
4. 3/13
(This is the score I probably would have gotten in every section without lucky guesses and/or remembering the questions from previous quizzes...)

Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.
Re: Quiz of the year
But I kinda like the sound of USAin. It's better than American because then people know what kind of American you're talking about.
Re: Quiz of the year
Almost as funny as your Laverne Cox confusion.
