Try your luck on the news that made headlines in 2005. I got 22/25. Some were fairly difficult.

60%, I guess that is good for guessing some of them. I can't believe I missed the Katrina one.

I had heard of all the stories, the tiny details is what got me.

It's kinda like a year's end exam and by then you've forgotten half of it.

I got 19 of 25, and I confess I guessed on two of the ones I got right.

YAAAAY!!! LOL, I'm not much on watching the news, unless
something particular grabs my attention. I'd rather be
blissfully oblivious to most of it....

Very impressive. I missed the Pakistani, Camilla, and Supreme Court questions. I have to stay on top of all this stuff to help with forensics and debate.

I try to keep up with current events because I'm on the academic team at the local community college (scholarship money is good). They come up often in competitions.

#2. I said that he made a plea bargain when in fact Kansas didn't have the death penalty at the time.
#21. I said Lance Armstrong was from California (I guess my reasoning was mountains...) when in fact he was from Texas.
