Friday Meme

I haven't done one of these silly memes in a while, but this one proved fun and reassuring on a dreary Friday. Give it at try. Given the poor performance of so many Americans on history, math, and geography questions, I'm not surprised that some of these might prove difficult.

How smart are you?

I got 20/25 of these for a percentage of 66.73. Took 4 mins. Not what I'd hoped for. I think I messed up every question that had metric measures... See, I've always said you're way smarter than me. :-)

You and 99.999% of Americans - including me - have trouble with the metric system. That's why that 1970s-era attempt to "go metric" failed. The old system is just too much a part of our cultural DNA. Remember the silly highway signs that showed miles and kilometers?

I got 24/25 but was probably a little long on the time. I got 94% or smarter than 93.99%. You are right; you are smarter than I. I come from a family of geniuses and I am not one of them. I used to kid that I was the dim bulb in the family four-pack.

Ok, not to appear dumb here, but hell, I'm not proud. ;-) Explain this to me, if boocat only missed one question and is smarter than 93.9%, how is it that Brian is smarter than 94.1%? Did Brian miss less than one question but not get them all right?
Oh wait, I'm getting it. Even if all the questions are answered correctly, it doesn't mean that a person is smarter than 100%.
Now I'm really confused. Oh, yeah, I'm blonde too but that's no fair.
Just pretend I didn't write this...

Dear One Wink, There is a time factor figured in there, too. I only missed one, but I probably took a little longer thinking them out so, I lost points. My senior brain has an older co-processor.

Thanks, Boo. ;-) I like to blame stuff on hormones...
