I feel like I have a better than average knowledge in that area, but a disproportionate number of questions that make me feel dumb when I watch that show are geography. Jim said he got 41 or 42 right - testing myself, I am only confident that I got about 37 correct - may have gotten a few more right from guessing. It seems a lot like the show though - some questions feel ridiculously easy, others ridiculously hard, and some (the kind that really make you feel stupid) feel like you should know the answer, but you can't make yourself say it. Is the test timed? (if so, I would have gotten less than 37 correct. I didn't cheat but I took my time on a few of them). When I give tests to students over the internet, we require them to use a "lock-down" browser that prevents students from doing anything else on their computer, in any other window, other than working on the test.
