Major thumbs down!

Darling, you're either having a bad day or you really didn't pay much attention in class. In either case, this is a wake-up call: LEARN AT LEAST A LITTLE MORE ABOUT THE WORLD YOU LIVE IN!

Meh!

Pretty good!

Very nice! But there are still some things you can learn about. Go down a Wikipedia rabbit hole whenever you can to polish your raw ends.

Standing ovation!

This wasn't really a very tough quiz but some questions were definitely tricky. You're basically brilliant for getting a neat 10/10!
