Here is where I turn in my pea card again... lol I got 4... i suck I'm not even going to try. I listen to a lot of news but I admit much of it goes in one ear and get dribbles out the other. I just don't concentrate on details. ETA - OK, I got bored and decided to try. I got 7/12. Surprised myself but admit there were a few guesses in there.

11/12 - only missed the Chinese province. I had it narrowed down to 2, but went the wrong way!

DH and I did this together and got 10/12. We didn’t know the Africa question or the Chinese province. The flag as a lucky guess for us. If I had done this myself, I would have scored 7/12.

10, missed the Chinese providence and where the Israeli/US embassy had moved to. Guessed on African country and I swear the NATO question you could have picked several. But I got that one right.

10/12 I missed the China province and the African country (I guessed S. Africa). Ditto. Those were my only guesses, and I guessed incorrectly.

I got 10/12. I missed the question about which region or province of China has the highest per capita population of Muslims, and which African country has the largest population and is one of the largest oil producers.

10/12 - I knew all 10 (no guessing), but didn't know the China (Muslims) or India (oil) responses and am clearly not a good guesser. I was sad that half the people didn't know the Secretary of State and that Ukraine wasn't part of NATO (it's been talked about a lot - really lot)

I got 9/12... I didn't guess at any I got right, but I will admit that I got the question about NATO wrong- in my defense, I read it too fast! "NOT a part of NATO, or the North Atlantic Treaty Organization?" (I thought it was asking about two separate organizations, so I figured it was some sort of trick question, lol!! oops!)
I do have to say, I only know some of the things I do because we talk about current affairs here. Otherwise I don't watch or read much news at all.

I don’t watch the news and so I thought I’d take this to see how sadly out of touch I was with “international affairs.” I got 10/12. I don’t think this quiz is an accurate reflection of one’s knowledge of international affairs but rather if you ever paid attention like ever. Lol

I scored 11/12, but I don't think I know much about international affairs. I thought that test was more like an international affairs trivia test. It was fun to take.

I knew the flag because ds did a flip book on that country.

11. Living in Europe helped a lot! Pretty sure that’s why I got the Chinese province right, living in Asia for 6 years and researching our trip to China

I got 12/12 but I guessed at the current US Secretary of State because, frankly, it doesn't fall under general international affairs knowledge - at least for the rest of the world.

I got the China question correct by process of elimination. I knew Tibet was Buddhist. Macau is/was the Las Vegas of China, so I didn’t think they could be predominantly Muslims. And Guangdong is in the area that used to be referred to as Canton, next to Hong Kong. and I knew they weren’t Muslims. Many of the Chinese immigrants where I grew up we’re from the Canton area. Cantonese food was my favorite type of Chinese food, but it is harder to find now.
