Another year, another bbc national quiz.

Online version: http://www.bbc.co.uk/testthenation/

My results:

Score = 42/70

Everyday Life = 10/15
Past times = 8/15
Arts and Entertainment = 9/15
Our World = 8/15
Pot Luck = 7/10

Quiz quotient = 98

Pretty poor result if you ask me! Some right tough questions in there!

they did that here in America a while back. I don't know what the format differences are but it was 60 questions, I scored 53/60 which, for my age, put me 1 question shy of genius...whatever that means

I was surprised because most of the time I am pretty stupid 0_o
