I got 48/50.

Since there were some REALLY stupid questions there, I feel the need to mention which ones I missed! hahaha

For the question "What happened on September 11, 2001" I chose "The Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor". JUST KIDDING!!! hahaha
(I'll admit, though, they were both fαℓѕє fℓαg attacks. 9/11 was just Pearl Harbor for a new generation) I was actually looking for the REAL answer, "The government destroyed the Twin Towers using thermite/small nuclear charges" but I knew what answer they were looking for.

ANYHOW...

I missed the question about "If both the President and the Vice President can no longer serve, who becomes President?"

Let's see -- that's never happened, so it's an easy one to miss.

The other one I missed:

"The Federalist Papers supported the passage of the U.S. Constitution. Name one of the writers."

Not familiar with the Federalist papers. You got me on that one.

Considering I graduated high school almost 20 years ago, and a lot of this is pretty academic, I'm OK with my score :)

I can't say with a straight face that you haven't watched enough disaster movies to know this.  :tv-disturbed:

Usually the President survives, or else pretty much none of them survive and just a small cabal of government officials rides out the storm in a bunker installation in Cuba, a mountain in Colorado, etc. and then they reveal themselves to the world years later...

Is it the Speaker of the House?

I got 50, but perhaps it is easier for a Brit, especially one who deals with the US a lot.

Try the British One and see how you do.

10 of 10. Only the Paralympic question involved a guess for this Yank—well, strictly speaking, a guess of a sort; that is, I knew that all the other answers were wrong.

What on earth are the Paralympic games anyway? I thought that London hosted the Olympic Games in 2012. There was even a mildly amusing sitcom centering on preparations for the games, wasn't there? It starred Hugh Bonneville (he was what made it mildly amusing). It was shown over here a year or so ago on PBS.

At least yours was a test, the sport nonsense aside, that involved Great Britain's political and religious history and the structure of its governance. The US "test" was nothing of the sort; it was moronic propaganda for the New America. Accounting for the legitimate gripe of Brennus about that single "economic system" question, it's appalling that anyone, even a CI regular, would get less than 49 of 50.

A sporting competition for disabled people which follows the Olympic Games.

Thank you. I probably should have guessed as much.
