Meh, 28 out of 36.

WTF is this?

Attachment 47785

Is that even a human?

I'm in the 500's...yay

would this be Prince Charles, Alex?

oops...29/36. I found the clues are in the eye contact/eyebrows

It's Donald Sterling

Classic Sci-fi book cover quiz:

http://www.theguardian.com/books/boo...rs-sci-fi-quiz

I got:

9 of 10,
but this isn't fair because I read probably 80% of the books listed and I had only seen one cover. The books I read had different covers than what was shown. So all but one of my answers were just educated guesses based on the subject matter of the cover.

Me too!

6 outa 10 i suck.

6 out of 10 on pure guesswork, never seen any of those covers before, but like glatt said the subject matter gave a couple away.

I've just figured out who it reminds me of....James Whitmore.

Attachment 47803

5 outta 10 - I suck more! I win!!

Wait...

My family has the whole upside down smile going, might be a difficulty.

25 of 36, had a few lucky guesses where the emotion I perceived wasn't listed.

8 out of 10, but The Handmaid's Tale is a dystopian novel. I'm not sure how poverty/squalor can be classified as science fiction.

Don't fuck with uncle Bud when he's been drinking?

That was a critical ID skill in my extended family.

New Quiz -- Fictional Planets
 

21 fictional planets, identify the source.

6 of 21. I need to pay a little more attention to the least important part of science fiction.

narfff narff

:haggis:

8 out of 21! I need to pay a little more attention ... but hey, I got FHLoston Paradise. Isn't that all that matters?

DIALECT QUIZ
 

This is American centric I think so apologies to the rest of you. You might find it entertaining, however.
The quiz.

3 most;
Philly, about where I live.
Springfield, MA, where I misspent my youth.
Rochester, NY, no clue.

3 least; New Orleans, Jackson, MS, and Lubbock, TX.

All three were in Texas, and all three were because I say "y'all." :)

Jackson Ms, Columbus Ga, Chattanooga Tn. I have been to all 3 places, but never lived in any of them.

Philly, Patterson, NJ (just up the road), and Yonkers

Patterson, Yonkers, Boston.

Yonkers is about 6 miles as the crow flies from where I grew up. My Aunt lived in NJ, near Patterson and her husband, my uncle, was from Boston area.

A lot of answers were multiple for me with no option to choose more than one.

In a related quiz, it was determined that foot's answers show him to be from around 1825.

Fort Wayne IN, Rockford IL, and Toledo OH. Yep. Fort Wayne and Toledo because I say 'pop' and Rockford because I pronounce cot and caught differently? Who doesn't pronounce those words differently?

My least similars were all around Boston. Hard to see because the map didn't load properly. I took it twice and got a script error...and I noticed there were some different questions the second time around.

Tougher Quiz
 

This quiz at Slate will be tougher for most people. It's 20 machine patent models, scaled-down models of their invention they want patented. It's multiple choice with 4 options.
I found it tough getting 13 out of 20. Go for it.

I got nine, but as the average is also nine I'm relieved that others got even fewer right. That'll do for me.

I got 12 outta 20

12

philly, newark/patterson, jersey city.
least:
amarillo, lubbock, arlington ...all texas. some cowboys fan I turned out to be.

13 of 20.

What 2 words describe you?
 

What 2 words describe you? The unfailing wisdom of an internet website knows all.

Just so you know it's 100% accurate :

Unbelievably Sweet

You're the perfect treat -- delightful and sweet. You have the sweetest smile and the most tender love. Your face can brighten any dark day and your jovial nature can fill even passersby with joy. A great many consider themselves lucky to have you in their lives!

Selflessly Caring

You care deeply and selflessly. When you truly care for someone, you make them an important part of you. You stay with them through their sorrows and heal their pains. No one can even say they protect and care as much as you for someone whom you love. Your loved ones never forget you and they always keep you in their hearts!


Sent by thought transference

You'll notice, of course, that there were no choices that could have returned a result of "Hateful Bastard"...

Buuuuuuuuullllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllssshhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiittttttttttt.

This new rash of quizzes on face book.

What kind of blank are you?

Those quizzes.

There seem to be two main sources. Many of the questions are used repeatedly. Where would you go on vacation, what kind of treat would you like?

What kind of advertising would you like to see?

NEW QUIZ
 

These are five sample questions from the kindergarten entrance exam (!) that Horace Mann and Riverdale Country School, both in New York, will be using this October.

Link to short news article.

The 5 Sample Questions (for kindergartners, mind you, what are they 4? 5?)

I got 4 out of 5.:yelsick:

That was a close call. The wild west one was a bit of a weirdo fart butt

Whatsthatnow?

The brown posters on the split rail fence.

Ah.

The fence post one was complicated, but made sense. The pirate ship one was logical if you looked only at the top row, but the bottom row was gibberish.

Agree. The pirate ship was frustrating because the bottom row didn't make sense; you had to only consider the top row and not attempt to duplicate the nonsense bottom row.

Close call, but I suppose it's good to know I might qualify for a snooty NYC kindergarten.

Kindergarten, here I come.

Seriously? There's no way my kids could have passed that exam at five years old. Nothing close to the reading comprehension required for the last question, and the matchy-matchy ones, ... maybe they could have seen a pattern. But the biggest trouble would have been that my kids would have had precious little test taking experience by that age. They might have scribbled all over the test, eaten the crayons, and ran in circles until they were so dizzy they fell down. Y'know, like normal kindergarteners.

I saw columns. That helped.

I saw dead people. Not as helpful...

*snort*

Today is Constitution Day in the U.S.. (<---What's the proper way to end that sentence?)

Find out what you know about The Constitution by taking The Washington Post's Constitution Day Quiz

I got 1 out of 13.

:rtfm:

Like this:

The period that ends the abbreviation also ends the sentence. If the sentence ends in a different punctuation mark, like a question mark or an exclamation mark, use both. If the sentence is awkward or unclear, rewrite it to move the abbreviation away from the end of the sentence or avoid the abbreviation altogether

I got 8/13.

I didn't even reach the threshold for ratification. :cry:

7 of 13.
Damn, that was hard. Lots of educated guessing. And even more uneducated guessing.

Thank you, sir.

I got 4. Hahhahahaaa! Of course the alcohol one. That was easy, because overturning prohibition holds a special place in my heart...from a past life. The other one I got was the one about public education not being mentioned in the constitution. I picked that because in both my past jobs we were mandated to do something to recognize Constitution Day. Because public education was considered a state level issue by our founding fathers, it only stands to reason that institutions receiving any sort of federal funding be mandated by the federal government to have some sort of programming for C-Day.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constit...ited_States%29

It's the law, and it's ironical. ;) I think in my previous previous job we hung up posters. In my previous job we were silo'd right out of any responsibility for it: they had high level executives who were responsible for hanging up posters, maybe a blurb on the campus wide info-TVs. :lol:

6, it's a tough one and more about history than the constitution itself...

8 but I don't support ratification anyway...

Wont let me take the quiz!

Damn right! :D
