I got 87%! Really! I got 3 guesses right though...:ashamed:
54% did not know hardly any but gave some guesses.
I got 73% correct 12 out of 15 i did guess a few though!
67% Some weird Questions there. Did Anyone, even Scots, get the most northerly Cathedral?
And
arent TWO stretches of water twixt the Isle of Wight and the Mainland..?

I got 53% but to tell the truth I only knew definite answers for 5 of the questions :whistle: I've lived here too long... que pasa mi niño :)
I'm hugely intelligent and I only got 47% so I think it's rigged........:laugh:

I scored 53%, and am left wondering how it's graded as it's out of 15 questions, and others scored 57% and 54%...
Do I get a better score if I can work that one out?
I did better with THIS (http://toys.usvsth3m.com/maths/) quiz...

Wow, nearly fell of my chair! 80%. :heyhey: Used elimination for the most part!
