Well - I don’t feel so bad now, since everyone else seems to have choked, too.
I think I was thrown off balance right out of the gate.
Heidi Klum? Bravo? I have no freaking idea…
Shove over. I must have missed at least ten. And heck, the chair question is one of the ones I would have expected myself to know! I think it was Eames, at that.
And what the hell is the longest river in Asia? If it’s not the Yangtze, that’s another one I missed.
I looked it up. You and me both got it right, Sal.
Damn…I said the Yellow River. :mad:
Well…I did know the Heidi Klum question…I think. America’s Next Top Model, right?
I feel better now. Went to another online forum I hang out at occasionally.
At least one test taker feels they did well, at least thirty or thirty-five out of the questions. Remember who we are competing against here, Dopers!
(I know we all were the Trivial Pursuit champs in our dorms, but the people we consistently beat are out there taking the test, too.)
That’s hosted by Tyra Banks. The actual answer is Project Runway. I guessed it was that ‘Make Me a Supermodel’ thing, which I think is really on Fox, but I had no clue. Man, that question worried me - I was glad the next few questions were more in familiar territory. I did get the Yangtze one.
Erm, trying to think of something positive to say. They had a question about The Tempest, which is my favorite play (my girlfriend played a fantastic Ariel over the summer). So I got a smile out of that.
Jane Seymour, dammit. Not Anne of Cleves.
(Torturing himself by Googling every question he feels uncertain about…)
Well crap… not as well as I did last time. The art questions killed me. I made the “Next Top Model” mistake, totally blanked on Bhutto, read African instead of Asia for the river, named the wrong city in NZ, the wrong Austen novel… just whiff after whiff. Oh, also picked the wrong Henry VIII wife…
Does anyone remember the name or title of the one about an author using a pseudonym?
And did we confirm the chair maker?
I said Anne of Cleves, too. Damn.
Who else got the Atlantic “sea” named for a plant one? That was one I thought might have separated me from the pack a bit.
I did. Sargasso is one of my favorite words.
Terrible. Just awful. I guarantee you will not see me on Jeopardy this year. 
On preview, I did get Sargasso, though. Yanghzee too (good thing they don’t count spelling). 
What the hell is the capital of North Dakota?
Bismark.
Hopefully the only needed the last name, cause the only famous person I know with that name is Otto Von Bismark, but I can’t imagine that’s the person.
Bismarck. One of the few I was sure of.
Yeah, Bismarck and Sargasso I got. And Kanye West and the Vinson Massif one. And all the word ones, I think (ambrosia is the food of the gods, right?).
Sigh, I think I blew it. I kept thinking of things just after the buzzer. Four years of Latin including Latin Freaking Prose Composition and I can’t come up with “infinitive”? And I’ve been to that stupid museum.
I couldn’t remeber the whole name, and just put “runway” I hope they take it, but im 99% sure they won’t.
What was the Jane Austin novel?
I kept thinking of the right answers, but I couldn’t get my fingers to type them. If only they could have done it verbally.
That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it.
Sense and Sensibility is the one about the Dashwoods. That was the one literature question I got.
I feel better now knowing everyone was displeased with their performance. I thought that was MUCH harder than the last online test.
The author was Mary Ann Evans, known under pseudonym George Eliot.
