    Got 9 out of 13. Missed the supreme court question, common core question, first question and % of women in Congress question.

    I'd agree with the public not being involved with the market nearly to the degree that many seem to think they are and that it benefits them less than most seem to hope/think it does.

    Got 11 of 13...missed the first question, and the one on the pyramid.

    I do find it odd that most people don't believe that the market has fully recovered...but this is actually quite explainable, as this goes towards what a fairly large subset of the media would like for them to believe. Seems like keeping people angry or fearful is a goal.
  • Got 12 of 13…missed the Yahoo CEO question….but why would knowing here make me more educated about current events/demographics/politics/etc of this country?
  • 10 of 13, and who new the CEO of Yahoo was so pretty???

    I did Mike...making that the easiest question on the test. And she's a new mother in 2013 to top things off. Kind of a busy year for her.
