And here is an interesting little Pew Research Quiz… I got 11 of 12, but the spread is AMAZING… Definitely NOT a Bell Curve.

They did it!!! — 15 Comments

  1. 9 of 12, but I disagree about the unemployment rate. It is NOT 10%.

    I’ll quibble about the 2/3 oil too… I think it’s less than that, but as usual, I’m willing to be proven wrong.

  2. 12 of 12, and I believe the poll was conducted on what is reported, not what the facts truly are. 😉

  3. Shoot! Eleven. I forgot how many women were on the supreme court. All I could remember was Ginsberg.

    The real unemployment is around 18% but the “reported” rate by the feds is a hair under 10%. On the oil, it’s higher than 2/3rds—almost 3/4ths. I’ve done some commodities trading and I keep track of oil production, price and consumption. The current price is due to a severe drop in consumption. When times are hard, people stay home.

  4. 11 of 12; missed the oil import question. My intuition’s more in line with Alan than with Crucis, but it’s based on something I think I read in a book once.

  5. 10 of 12, and I hadn’t realized that Japan found something else to do with all the money we sent them, and I thought ethanol wasn’t imported. I did notice that those reading and reporting here are smarter than women, high school grads and most of America.

  6. 11 of 12, but I think their number on unemployment is low. Still, it’s the official HopeyDopeyChangy number.

  7. Here’s Your Score: You correctly answered 7 out of the 12 possible questions, which means you did better on the quiz than 66% of the general public.

    Shows how much US news & politics filters here down under (no, they weren’t guesses!).

  8. Peedee- just proves you HAVE a life 🙂

    Alan et al- Newbius/Crucis are correct, it’s about what is REPORTED not the actual values… Alan, it’s actually closer to 15-18%, but the oil import really is 66-75%!!!

    Earl- Sad but true on the levels…

    Julie- you STILL did better than many that LIVE here… 🙂

  9. Amish phone directory, indeed.
    That one got the laugh, the others a smile.
    Hit the 12 for 12.
    Not really surprised Julie did well.
    It seems Aussies tend to have a better grasp of US policies/politics than most citizens do.

    Skul

  10. 8 out of 12. Next time I am watching the Texas oil wells pumping, I will say, “Yes you can”.

    Love the shortest books written.
