| Face Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 61 Posts: 3941 | No score? No idea what constitutes passing? Wiz, I am disappoint ;) I passed, though I have some beefs. Russia comprises, like, all of Asia. Why was it repeatedly referred to as "European"? No answer key? Boo! I wanted to know some of those. Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it. |

I think when they were asking about the largest European country by area, they meant the European part of Russia. Agreed, they should have indicated the answers and given a score. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

| kenarman Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 14 Posts: 4516 | I also passed. Are we actually that above average? Maybe one of the math guys can calculate the odds of us all being 4 percenters. "but if you make yourselves sheep, the wolves will eat you." Benjamin Franklin |

Crystalline water ice (how is that a geography question?) 6. Amazon 7. India. 8. Russia 9. Germany (educated guess) 10. United Kingdom 11. Cyprus 12. 7 13. 7 14. Algeria 15. Nigeria 16.

I also passed. We are not random people. I think most people on the forum, particularly the ones that took the test are inclined towards geography anyway. Had it been a quiz on the Kardashians, most of us wouldn't have even tried. Who has the biggest butt? Who gets naked the most? What is Kim's second husband? How many children are there? How many boys, and how many girls? How long can you be married before you realize your husband is a woman trapped in a man's body? Who is in the photo?   |
