Took the test. Failed at 40%. I am soooo naïve.
Got 50%.
Well, if it’s any help, you guys are making me feel better. I got 80% and was still not real happy. I watch a lot of movies and thought I should score higher.
That was interesting. I know nothing about the super bowl, or football in general, and don’t want to. The last dystopian movie I saw was “The Blob” on black and white TV, I think before my sons were born. Have not watched more than three or four movies since, and most of those involved Hobbits. 🙂
I got a 70% on the quiz, and I argue with one of the “incorrect” answers, since I do understand dystopian politics fairly well. 🙂
I got 70% just by assuming the worst case was reality. And some of those they said I was wrong on, I am quite certain I wasn’t. For example, winning the Superbowl does probably reward your family with riches, and you DO have a chance to die doing so. It’s not just the Hunger Games that come with a chance of death.
Yeah, Kent. That’s what I thought. I never saw “the hunger games” or know anything about the story… but because there is a story doesn’t mean they both couldn’t be true. 🙂
Sir John Glubb notes in his “The Fate of Empires…”, on p. 16 (by the PDF numbering), as one evidence of a declining nation, that “[I]n the Byzantine Empire the rivalries of the Greens and the Blues in the Hippodrome attained the importance of a major crisis.” http://people.uncw.edu/kozloffm/glubb.pdf
50%
Well, I never was a good test taker. Can’t think of any other lame excuses.
70%. Assumed it was worse than it actually was.
Left a comment:
Question 7: No, we can’t all agree on banning weapons. Self defense is an inalienable right.
I have never followed sports on TV and haven’t gone to movies in 20 years (why put money in the pockets of people who hate you?) so I automatically blamed everything on football.
I got 70%
Was it Heinlein who opined, “Eleven hob-nail booted barbarians square off against eleven similarly accoutered animals, passing an air filled bladder back and forth in a fight over a piece of real estate I wouldn’t pitch a pup ten on.”?
19 or 20 ( I may have lost count).
That’s the number of scripts running in the background on that link.
Several of which are nearly direct data miners for the Feddies.
No thanks.
I didn’t watch the super bowl either so I guess that makes it a twofer for me. I sold my TV 10 years ago and haven’t missed it since.
I heard on the radio today that the Broncos won and I am happy for Payton. (He’s a Texan btw)
BUT … until the NFL starts paying for my utilities and groceries I don’t much give a hoot who wins or loses.
So .. my score? Goose egg.
Sorry Claire I’m not much fun on these kind of things I guess.
