Can You Beat the Average?

From TKWKIWDBI blog:
"The Pew Research Center offered 1,000 adults a 12-item multiple-choice test (re current events) . The average adult got 7.4 questions correct."

TW: These quizzes are frequently lame but this one seemed somewhat challenging, brief and relevant.

update: with 5 results in, the WH reader/writer average is 11.8, obviously the blog has provided steller education...or the average American is lame or there is huge self-selection bias (as in those who read the blog are far more informed than the avg. American)

11-12. didnt realize ford hadnt gotten any money. easy questions for the most part. i would assume our esteemed editor got 100%.

well yeah.

have heard from two others who got 12 of 12, obviously the demographic of the White House is abnormally wise otherwise they would not read the blog...
