British made

Post by Gob »

Embarrassingly 1/7 for me.

5/7 actually was pretty sure of 3 of them.
Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.

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).
People who are wrong are just as sure they're right as people who are right. The only difference is, they're wrong.

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.

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

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.
