And full of eels, the bloody things were.
10/10 for the USA, 21/24 for Britain, so if Trump wins I guess I know where I am heading…
10/10 on US (took the test for real in 1999)
22/24 on UK (embarrassing because I always get annoyed when people call me an Anglophile)
Aced it. Pretty easy.
I could be an American as well, yay. I’m not though, Finnish, but I could be, if I wanted to. Guns. Hamburgers. Pickup trucks. The moon.
Got a 7 out of 10.
9/10 for the US one (missed the number in the House of Representatives, got the one on the last day to send in tax forms thanks to a Futurama joke).
14/24 for the UK on.
Here is the Australian test:
It looks like I could be an Australian too. I missed three of the trivia questions but the concept questions were easy enough for this American to answer. It isn’t all that different.
Would you pass the Australian citizenship test?
You got 17 out of 20 correct.
85%
The British are big on trivia apparently. I was lucky I knew some of them like the ones on technology based on other sources but I fail to see what relevance they have for citizenship. It would be as if we made people memorize a list of random sports stats and celebrity facts for the U.S. version. I still did OK but I had to guess on some rather than actually knowing the answer. Oh well, I hear they do the same thing with their taxicab driving test x1000 despite the fact anyone can take advantage of GPS now to get the same result as without knowing the history of every obscure alleyway in Greater London.
YOU SCORED
20/24
10/10 US
16/24 UK
19/20 Aus (Though if there was any other image at the top of the page it’d be 18)
10/10 US
18/24 UK (lots of trivia in there; missed a few that I should have gotten)
19/20 Australia
And now 20/20 on the strayian version. I’m assuming the 1.1% that fail are struggling with a language of literacy barrier. If they were drunk at the time, I assume they’d be given a special dispensation. Unless they were drinking Foster’s, in which case I imagine they’d be deported as Americans masquerading as Australians.
Perfect score. 10 for 10
10/10 USA
14/24 UK (Ouch - and I’m a raging Anglophile!)
20/20 Stralyan (a little disappointed, though, that there wasn’t a question about the Philosophy Department of the University of Woolloomooloo)
I’m British. Scored 8/10 on the US test (failed with House voting members, and Cabinet posts – and a couple of my correct answers were lucky guesses). On the Australian one, 17/20 (was wrong on two of the relatively more intricate governmental questions; and to my regret, had no idea about the Aboriginal flag. Got lucky with one blind guess). Rather to my shame, got only 19/24 on the British list of questions, with one correct answer a blind guess. (Was wrong on the dog-walking one, re which I concur with others – not really “on” as a question. Not everybody, even in Britain, is a “dog person” – I’m not – have never owned one of the creatures.)
For one who doesn’t take a great interest in politics / current affairs; but is fond of, and interested in, the USA and Australia – I feel I didn’t do too horribly badly.
Crikey, isn’t that a beauty – got 20/20 on Australia although as mentioned by Darth Sensitive there was a big clue right on the page for one. Lots of items that apply generically across anglophone democracies and/or Westminsterish parliamentary systems.
They were disbanded after the “Bruce Incident” aka* The Dungay Horror*.
10/10 US
19/24 UK (Like most people here, the questions I missed were all the more trivial matters. I had never heard of Mr. Arkwright)
20/20 AUS (this one felt much more common-sense related than either of the other two. With the exception of the Aboriginal flag question, you don’t really have to know anything about Australia itself other than the philosophy of its government and the commonly used terms and titles in representative governments these days.)
Yeah-- I learned all that in school too, but I went to school a while ago. “Civics” used to be a subject, and used to be considered pretty important.
10/10 on the US test.
I got 22/24 on the UK test, thanks to a head’s up on the TV question. I missed the dog ID question, and another more trivia, less history-like question I can’t now remember. I knew all the stuff like which wife Catherine Howard was, and what the Restoration was. I did sort of guess at the hovercraft question, but it was easy to eliminate the other choices. I think one was radium, and one was clearly not the right century.
