What's interesting - but in my eyes not surprising, is that the politicians we elect on the average know less than the average citizen.
Anyway, it only takes 5 or 10 minutes, so give it a whirl and let me know how you do.

Not bad for a country boy hick!
Too many options and when did I ever study Plato or them guys? Geez!
Yeah, it started out not too bad, but then it got a bit goofy in the end.
66.67. But in my own defense I was interrupted twice, and rushed, by a child and a husband. For those reasons it also took me 20 minutes.
Also, I often fell asleep in Goverment class.

Sure. Uh huh.
